DVD+R disc recovery

Symptom:

When you insert an unfinalised DVD+R disc the message “Disc contains unknown data”

may appear on the screen.

Possible cause:

DVD+R discs, when not yet finalised, are sensitive to fingerprints, dust and other dirt.

These can hinder proper optical recording and may have caused an error.

Remedy:

1Make sure the disc is completely clean from dust and fingerprints otherwise the

recovery will fail.

2Press OPEN/CLOSE to open the tray of the recorder and insert the corrupted

DVD+R disc. Do not close the tray.

3Press and hold the 5button on the remote control of the recorder for several

seconds until the tray closes.

‰The display shows ‘READING’ while the recorder attempts to retrieve the disc

contents.This process may, in case of an HQ recording, take up to four times the

duration of the recording during which the error occurred.

‰If the procedure is completed successfully the Index Picture Screen will reappear.

The last recording or editing action may be lost.

lIf this was a recording, the title will be missing.

lIf it happened during the changing of a title name or index picture, the original one

will still be there.

lIf it took place during finalising, the disc will appear unfinalised.

Note that the recovered information is not (yet) stored on disc as such, and the disc is

not finalised.You can choose to continue recording but considering the disc may not be

fully reliable anymore it may be wiser to finalize straight away.To rewrite the Index

Picture Screen in its restored status just perform a simple editing action like changing an

index picture or a title name.

Note:This function has no use with DVD+RW discs.

Forced Finalisation

Symptom:

When you insert a DVD+R disc the Index Picture Screen may keep flashing on the

screen.

Remedy:

1Press OPEN/CLOSE to open the tray of the recorder and insert the corrupted

DVD+R disc. Do not close the tray.

2Press and hold the 4button on the remote control of the recorder for several

seconds until the tray closes.

‰The display shows ‘FINALIZE’.The recovery procedure, technically referred to

as ‘forced finalisation’ now starts.This will take about three minutes.

‰If the procedure is completed successfully the Index Picture Screen will reappear,

showing any recovered recordings.

Afterwards, you cannot record on this disc anymore.

Notes:

- This function does not work with discs that show the error message "Disc contains unknown

data". See ‘DVD+R disc recovery’ above for instructions how to recover such discs.

- This function has no use with DVD+RW discs.
