Does anyone know the answer?

I have had two different versions of the ILO DVDR05 - the ZU and the
MU. The ZU offered you the option of Finalizing a +RW or not when you
opened the tray. If you did not Finalize the disc would not play on
another player. So you had to Finalize if you wanted to play
elsewhere. The MU not only does not offer you the option of Finalizing
when you open the tray, the Finalize function is greyed out in the
Edit menu which means you cannot Finalize a +RW with that version of
the unit. Yet you can play the disc on other players.

My question was aimed at clarifying this Finalize issue as it pertains
to +/-RW discs.
