Playing your recordings on
other DVD players
Most regular DVD players can play finalized
discs recorded in DVD-R/-RW (Video mode)
and DVD+R discs. A number of players
(including many Pioneer models) can also
play DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode,
finalized or not. Most players will not play VR
mode DVD-R discs, although some
DVD-ROM drives and DVD recorders may be
able to (finalization might be necessary).
Check the manual that came with the player
to check what kinds of discs it will play.
When you finalize a DVD-R/-RW (Video
mode) or DVD+R disc, a title menu is
created from which you can select titles
when you play the disc. There are a number
of different styles of title menu to choose
from to suit the content of the disc.
All the title menus are navigated in the usual
way, pressing MENU or TOP MENU to
display the menu, then using the ///
followed by ENTER to select titles and start
playback.
Finalizing a disc
Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings on the disc
so that it can be played on a regular DVD
player or computer equipped with a suitable
DVD-ROM drive.

Note that the disc name will appear in the
title menu after you finalize a disc. Make sure
the disc name is as you want it before you
finalize the disc as it can’t be changed
afterwards. If you want to rename the disc,
see Input Disc Name on page 124 before
starting the steps below.
Note
1 This cannot be selected if AV2/L1 In is set to Decoder (see AV2/L1 In on page 134).
