  Finalizing is completed.
You will need to finalize discs to play back on other DVD 
players.
Finalizing may take several minutes up to an hour.
Since the process of the finalization fills empty space of 
the disc, a shorter recording period on the disc will 
require a longer time period for finalization. Do not 
unplug the power cord during finalization.

To cancel finalizing...
(DVD-RW only)
Press [STOP C] during the finalizing is in progress. Use 
[K / L] to select “Yes”, then press [ENTER]. Finalizing is 
canceled and the unit switches to stop mode.
Finalizing 5%
Do you want to cancel ?Ye s
No
If “” appears when [STOP C] is pressed, you cannot 
cancel finalizing because the finalizing has already 
reached at a critical point in its process.
If “No” is selected and [ENTER] or [RETURN] is pressed, 
finalizing is continued.
You cannot cancel finalizing a DVD-R, DVD+R and 
DVD+RW once it has started.
Note
•  Finalizing a disc in video mode and +VR mode 
automatically creates a DVD menu.
•  After you finalize the DVD+RW, you can call up the 
title list by pressing [TOP MENU], or you can call up 
the DVD menu by pressing [MENU/LIST].
•  Even after DVD+RW is finalized, you can still record 
or edit. After you finalize DVD-RW/-R or DVD+R, you 
cannot edit or record anything else on that disc.
•  If you insert a DVD-RW finalized with this unit, “Undo 
Finalization” will appear instead of “Finalize” at step 
3.
•  To release the finalization of the DVD-RW disc, select 
“Undo Finalization” at step 3.

•  To undo the finalization of the DVD+RW, make an 
additional recording to the disc.
•  DO NOT power off during finalizing. This may result 
in a malfunction.
•  For DVD+RW, if you have added or deleted chapters, 
or made chapters hidden, you must finalize the disc 
before being able to see those effects on other units.  
To play back discs other than DVD+RW on other DVD 
players, you will need to finalize.

INFORMATION ON DVD RECORDING
You can select a recording mode among 5 options, and 
the recording time will depend on the recording mode 
you select as follows.
Recording modeRecording time
Video/
Sound Quality
12cm 8cm
XP60 min 18 min
SP120 min 36 min
LP240 min 72 min
EP360 min 108 min
SLP480 min 144 min
•  The recording times listed above are estimates and are 
for reference purposes only. Actual recording times may 
vary.
•  The audio and video quality of content being recorded 
may differ depending on the recording mode/recording 
time chosen.
Recording Mode
You cannot record copy-protected video using this 
unit. Copy-protected video includes DVD-videos 
and some satellite broadcasts, some pay-per-view 
stations and some “premium” stations.
If copy-protected material is detected, recording 
will pause or stop automatically and an error 
message appears on the screen.
“Copy-once only” video can only be recorded to 
CPRM compatible DVD-RW formatted in VR mode.
What is “CPRM”?
CPRM is a copy protection system with scramble 
system regarding the recording of “copy-once” 
broadcast programs. CPRM stands for Content 
Protection for Recordable Media.
This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that 
you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but 
you cannot make another copy of those recordings. 
CPRM recordings can only be made on CPRM com-
patible DVD-RW formatted in VR mode, and CPRM 
recordings can only be played back on DVD players 
that are specifically compatible with CPRM.
Making discs playable in other DVD players(Finalize)
For DVD-RW/-R, it is necessary to finalize the disc 
after recording, in order to play back the disc 
on other DVD players. (Refer to page 31.) For 
DVD+RW/+R, it is recommended to finalize the 
disc in order to make the disc more compatible to 
other DVD player. When video and +VR mode disc 
are finalized, a DVD menu is created. You cannot 
finalize discs in other DVD recorders.
Restrictions on Recording
Note
•  This unit cannot record to CD-RW or CD-R.
•  DVD-RW/-R, DVD+RW/+R and CD-RW/-R recorded on 
a personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may 
not be played back if the disc is damaged or dirty or 
if there is condensation on the player’s lens.
•  If you record a disc using a personal computer, even 
if it is recorded in a compatible format it may not be 
played back because of the settings of the 
application software used to create the disc. (Check 
with the software publisher for more detailed 
information.)
•  Discs recorded in video mode on this unit cannot 
record additional information using other DVD 
recorders.
•  It is not possible to use a DVD-RW/DVD+RW 
formatted with this unit on other DVD recorder 
unless the content of the disc was also recorded with 
this unit.
•  Since the recording is made by the VBR (variable bit 
rate) method, depending on the picture you are 
recording, the actual remaining time for recording 
may be a little shorter than the remaining time 
displayed on the TV screen.

programming set previously has priority.
A timer recording of lower priority will be canceled or start from the m\
iddle.
Check the overlapped timer programmings and change the priority if neces\
sary. •  If there is a power failure or this unit has been unplugged for more tha\
n 30 seconds, the clock setting and all timer 
programming will be lost.
•  If a disc is not inserted, 
  flashes and timer recording cannot be performed. In some cases,   will appear 
momentarily around the start point as the unit attempts to record. Pleas\
e insert a recordable disc.
•  When all the timer recording is completed, 
  flashes. To play back or eject the recorded disc, press 
[I/y ON/STANDBY]  first, then select the recorded title and press  [PLAY B], or  [OPEN/CLOSE  A] to remove the disc.
•  During timer recording or timer standby mode (
  will appear), any operations on the unit will not be available. To make\
 
these operations available, press  [STOP C] on the front panel to cancel the timer recording or  [I/y ON/STANDBY] to 
release timer standby mode (  will disappear).
•  To cancel the timer standby mode, press  [I/
y ON/STANDBY].
•  When the starting and the ending time are the same, the length of the re\
cording will be set for 24 hours. When the  disc becomes full during the recording, the unit turns itself off.
•  When the programmed starting and ending time are earlier than the curren\
t time, the setting will not be accepted  and be cleared for redoing.
•  If the starting time is earlier and the ending time is later than the cu\
rrent time, the recording will start right after you  
turn the power off.
