Hi Doctor,
Thanks so much for that, as you found, the manual is useless! It was not easy finding my way into the MENU where those instructions came up, but I eventually found it. Anyway, I have now finalised 3 discs and will be trying them at a friends tonight!
It says they may take more than 30 mins to finalise, but it seemed to be between 2 & 5 mins when I did it so hopefully it went correctly. I will report back tomorrow on my sucess (or lack).
Many thanks again!
[Edit] - that worked and the DVD's played im my friend's DVD player.
