You can record and finalize DVD+Rs one time. After you fill a DVD+R or complete all the recordings you want on a single DVD+R, finalize it. Otherwise, the DVD+R will play only on this Recorder.To play the Disc on other DVD Players, you must finalize it first. Once you finalize a DVD+R, you cannot record on it anymore or make editing changes.Therefore, make sure the Disc is as you want it before you finalize it. 1 Press SYSTEM MENU. Press ; to select in the top left corner of the menu bar at the top of the TV screen. 2 Press CH- 9 repeatedly to select in the second screen, then press :. 3 Press CH- 9 repeatedly to select Finalize disc. Finalize disc appears in the menu only when an unfinalized DVD+R is in the Recorder. 4 Press OK. "Finalizing" will appear in the menu.The process may take a few minutes. When finalization is complete, the Index picture screen will reappear. You cannot unfinalize a DVD+R, and you cannot record or edit the DVD+R after you finalize it. A DVD+R will play on other DVD Players only after the
Disc is finalized.

Did you check to see whether the other player will play that type of disc?

Usually you finalize the disc after loading it with all the desired content (leaving a bit of space for the finalization). So if you are recording a TV show, depending on the setting (SP, LP, XP), you might finalize the disc after recording 4 1/2 shows. The How may vary by model but on my DVD recorder, I find the finalize command in the same menu area as adding a title and initializing a DVD-RW disc. So I press Setup to enter the OSD menu, then go down to Disc (looks like an optical disc) then right arrow to enter the sub menu. Then press down to Disc Finalize and the right arrow again and press enter. Select OK and Enter again. (RW discs can be unfinalized to add more content.) Then wait until the process is done.
I hope this helps.
