Changing the Disc Title
Before you finalize your disc*, you can
give it a title. The disc title will be
displayed on the index screen when
playing the finalized disc in most DVD
players. You can check the disc’s title
with the [DISC INFO] menu option
( 50).
* You can change the title of DVD-RW discs
recorded in VR mode also after having
finalized them.
* Only when using a DVD-RW recorded in HD
quality, or in SD quality (VR mode).
Otherwise, pressing will open the
menu directly on the setup menus screen.
**Select one character at a time and press
( ) to add it to the title. Select
[BACKSPACE] and press ( ) to delete the
character to the left of the cursor’s position.
Finalizing the Disc
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.
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 a cable) after the
finalization process started may
result in permanent data loss.
• Discs recorded in HD quality can be
played back only with AVCHD-
compatible DVD players ( 70).
• Do not disconnect the compact power
adapter while the operation is in
progress. Doing so can interrupt the
process and result in permanent data
loss.
