Playing Back the Disc on an External Device
To play the disc you recorded on a DVD 
player, a computer’s DVD drive or other 
digital device, you need to finalize it first. 
You do not need to finalize the disc to 
play back your recordings with the 
camcorder connected to the TV.
To view your still images on a DVD player 
you will need to convert them to 
Photomovie scenes beforehand ( 68).
IMPORTANT
   Be sure to finalize the disc in normal room 
temperatures. If the procedure was not completed 
correctly due to high temperature, let the camcorder 
cool off before resuming operation.
 
   Place the camcorder on a table or other stable 
surface before starting the procedure. Subjecting 
the camcorder even to slight impacts (for example to 
place it on a table or to disconnect the AV cable) 
after the finalization process started may result in 
permanent data loss.
    Always power the camcorder using the 
compact power adapter. The operation cannot 
be started if the camcorder is powered only with 
the battery pack.
   Avoid the following actions while the operation 
is in progress. Failing to do so can interrupt the 
process and result in permanent data loss.
- Do not move the camcorder.
- Do not disconnect the compact power adapter.
   Depending on the type of disc and the disc 
specification, after finalizing the disc you may not be able to initialize the disc, edit your recordings 
or add new recordings to the disc.
   Do not finalize with this camcorder discs that 
were not recorded using it.
NOTES
The time required to complete the operation will 
vary depending on the recording conditions and 
the remaining free space on the disc.
Finalizing the Disc
The length of the finalization process 
depends on the scenes recorded and the 
remaining free space on the disc.
* During the disc finalization a progress bar is 
displayed. Close the menu only after the 
screen display returns to the [DISC 
OPERATIONS] menu.
Restrictions after Disc Finalization

Playing Back your Disc on a DVD Player 
or a Computer’s DVD Drive
After finalizing the disc you can play it on 
DVD players compatible with the type of 
disc you used (DVD-R, DVD-R DL or 
DVD-RW). For details about disc 
compatibility refer to the instruction 
manual of the DVD player or DVD drive.
On a DVD Player
1Turn on the TV and DVD player.
2Insert a finalized disc in the DVD 
player.
3Select the scene you want to play 
from the index screen.
On a Computer’s DVD Drive
1Insert a finalized disc in the DVD 
drive.
2Run the DVD playback software.
• Refer also to the instruction manual 
and help modules of your DVD 
playback software.
• To view still images recorded on the 
disc, close first any DVD playback 
software that may be running.
NOTES
   DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode can 
only be played on VR mode-compatible DVD 
players. 
   Depending on your DVD device you may not 
be able to play the disc.
   In order to view the still images recorded on 
the disc in a DVD player, you have to convert 
individual images to scenes, or create a 
Photomovie scene ( 68) before finalizing the 
disc. The resolution of Photomovie scenes will 
be lower than that of the original still images.
   In order to play the disc on a computer you 
need to have DVD playback software installed 
and running. Also, in order to play back a 
DVD-R DL you must have a DVD drive capable 
of reading dual-layered DVD discs.
Unfinalize a disc to allow recording 
additional movies on the disc even after it 
was finalized.
POINTS TO CHECK
Disc type:   DVD-RW initialized in VIDEO 
mode.
IMPORTANT
   Be sure to unfinalize the disc in normal room 
temperatures. If the procedure was not completed 
correctly due to high temperature, let the camcorder 
cool off before resuming operation.
 
   Place the camcorder on a table or other stable 
surface before starting the procedure. Subjecting 
the camcorder even to slight impacts (for example to 
place it on a table or to disconnect the AV cable) 
after the unfinalization process started may result in 
permanent data loss.
 
   Always power the camcorder using the 
compact power adapter. The operation cannot 
be started if the camcorder is powered only with 
the battery pack.
   Avoid the following actions while the 
operation is in progress. Failing to do so can 
interrupt the process and result in permanent 
data loss.
- Do not move the camcorder.
- Do not disconnect the compact power 
adapter.
   Only discs that were finalized using this 
camcorder can be unfinalized with it.
