PRV-9000 Operating Instructions

4.12 Finalize a Disc

Finalizing a disc seals the recording against adding additional segments or from

editing the existing material. Often, DVD devices require a disc to be finalized or

fixed before playing back the recorded sequences.

Finalizing a disc recorded in the Video mode automatically creates a menu for

navigating the material. To access this menu, press MENU or TOP MENU on the

remote control.

Once a Video-formatted disc is finalized, additions and editing are blocked. Discs

recorded in the VR mode allow additional recordings and edits by reversing the

finalization.

Follow the directions below to finalize a disc.

1. Load the disc to be finalized.

Playback must be stopped before proceeding.

2. Press SETUP to reveal the menu.

3. Highlight Disc Setup from the Setup menu.

4. Press ENTER to access the Disc Setup menu.

5. Use the joystick to select Finalize from the submenu.

6. Highlight Start to prepare for disc finalization.

7. Press ENTER to begin finalizing the disc.

If disc finalization takes more than four minutes to complete, an option to cancel

the procedure appears on the screen. Press ENTER to cancel the operation. At

four minutes before completion of a longer project, the option to cancel the

operation disappears.

Disc format and content determines the amount of time required to finalize a disc.

To finalize a Video-formatted disc requires up to 20 minutes while finalizing a VR

disc may take up to an hour. Factors influencing finalization time are as follows:

 Disc type

 Total duration of recorded material

 Number of titles on the disc

Note: DVD-RW discs finalized on a different DVD recorder may be un-finalized. Load

the disc and choose Undo Finalize from the Finalize menu.
