Finalizing a disc

DVD-RW DVD-R

After you record titles onto a DVD-RW/DVD-R disc with your DVD Recorder-VCR, it needs to be finalized before it can be played back on external devices.
Once a disc is finalized, you cannot delete entries from the record list. After being finalized, the DVD-R operates in the same manner as a DVD-Video. Depending on the kind of disc, the displayed screen may be slightly different. Finalizing will be taken few minutes. If you turn the unit on/off or open the tray during finalizing, you will not be able to use the disc anymore.

Aspect ratio is fixed for DVD disc. Check whether you selected correct digital output options in the Audio Output Options menu. Did you move your DVD Recorder-VCR suddenly from a cold place to a warm place? In this case, remove discs and wait for one to two hours with the power on, and then, insert the disc and try to playback again. It will work properly when condensation is removed. Angle operation is available only when the disc contains the images captured at different angles. Check whether there is damage or foreign materials on your disc. Some discs with bad manufacturing quality may not be played back. If the scene changes from dark to bright suddenly, the screen may jitter temporarily, but it is not a defect. Sound languages and subtitle languages are disc-specific. Only the sound and subtitle languages contained on a DVD disc are available and displayed on the disc menu. Check whether 480P is displayed on front panel. Make sure to change the component video output using the Progressive button when the disc is stopped. Point the remote control at the remote control sensor on your DVD recorder-VCR. Operate within distance. (15ft) Remove obstacles between your DVD Recorder-VCR and remote control. Check whether the batteries are depleted. Read the table of contents and then find and read the sections describing your problem, and follow the directions given. Turn the unit off and on. If your problem still persists, contact your nearest Samsung service center.
