DC210 won't let me unfinalize disc

[pcgtampa]

Hello I just purchased this product used.I hate reading manuals, so that’s why I’m here. Issue is, there is a Sony DVD-RW disc in the unit. It has data that I can playback. When I try to record I get the message “UNFINALIZE THE DISC”. I go to the menu “Disc Operations” where there are 5 or 6 choices with one of them being “UNFINALIZE”. Problem is I cannot select ANY of the choices. There are other entries under Menu and some of the topics have options that I can select and some are highlighted in bold print that I cannot. All the options under “Disc Operations” are highlighted in bold print. Please help, Thanks

Hello there!

Congratulations on your vintage find!

This unit was retired back in 2013, so it's no longer supported directly by Canon USA.

I think you are going to have to bite the bullet and read the manual. A quick perusal found this:
