The company I bought mine from included the manuals, thankfully. They were well-done reproductions, not original... but complete.
Do all DVD recorders require finalizing? I figure they do. The manual explained that it doesn't need to be finalized unless you plan to play it on other players. It takes about 3 minutes to finalize a disc that has about 6 hours worth of stuff on it.
A coupla times I forgot to finalize one and put it in the player in the bedroom and it wouldn't recognize it at all. Now I make sure I finalize it and write an "F" on it afterwards.
