How do I Finalize a Disc on a DVR?

The Toshiba D-RW2SU is a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) that can record TV content at scheduled channels and times on its internal hard disk. The D-RW2SU also has a DVD drive with burning capabilities, to transfer videos from the hard disk to DVDs. In general, every recordable DVD needs to be finalized before the content on it is playable. Unfortunately, the D-RW2SU does not automatically finalize a DVD until it is full. You can force the D-RW2SU to finalize a DVD whenever you want to stop recording content on it.

Things You'll Need

• Blank DVD-RW disc

Instructions

1. Press "Setup" on the D-RW2SU's remote control. Select "Disk" using the arrow keys on the remote control. Press "Enter."

2. Select "Finalize," then press "Enter." A confirmation prompt will come up on the TV screen.

3. Select "Yes," then press "Enter." Wait until the D-RW2SU displays "Finalization is complete" on the screen. At that point, the DVD is finalized and ready to play on other equipment.
