you need to fi nalize the disc fi rst.
• Full Preparation
If you select this option, the recorder will format
the whole disc. The process will take a longer time
to complete. After formatting, you can repeatedly
use the disc for recording, and there is no need to
fi nalize the disc afterwards.
The preparation screen will also appear after you
erase a DVD-RW disc.
Disc Finalization
After recording or copying, you may need to fi nalize
your disc before it can be played back on another
