edited on this recorder even after
finalizing.
• DVD-R DL (Video mode) discs and
DVD+R DL discs must be finalized in
order to play in other recorders/players.
Note however that some recorders/
players will not play even finalized dual-
layer discs.
1
Load the disc you want to finalize.
Make sure that the recorder is stopped
before proceeding.
2
Display the Home Menu.
3
Select ‘Setup’ > ‘Disc Setup’.
4
Select ‘Finalize’ > ‘Finalize’ >
‘Next Screen’.
5
For DVD-R/-RW (Video mode)
and DVD+R/+RW discs only, select a title
menu style, then select ‘Yes’ to start
finalization or ‘No’ to cancel.
The menu you select will be the one that
appears when the ‘top menu’ (or ‘menu’ for
a DVD+R/+RW) is selected on any DVD
player.
• Discs recorded partially or fully on the
Pioneer DVR-7000 DVD recorder do not
support this feature. These discs will
have only a text title menu when finalized
on this recorder.
6
The recorder will now start finalizing
the disc.
During finalization:
• If the finalization process of a DVD-R/
-RW disc is going to take more than
around four minutes, you can press
ENTER to cancel. Around four minutes
before completion, the option to cancel
disappears.
• You can’t cancel the finalization of a
DVD+R/+RW disc.
• How long finalization takes depends on
the type of disc, how much is recorded
on the disc and the number of titles on
the disc. A disc recorded in VR mode can
take up to one hour to finalize. DVD-R/
-RW (Video mode) and DVD+R/+RW
discs can take up to 20 minutes.
Initializing recordable DVD
discs
DVD-R/-RW discs can be initialized for either
Video mode recording or VR mode
recording.
1
When you first load a blank DVD-RW or
DVD+RW disc, the recorder initializes it for
recording automatically. By default, blank
DVD-RW discs are initialized for VR mode
recording. See DVD-RW Auto Initialize on
page 48 if you want to change the default to
Video mode.
DVD-R discs are ready for Video mode
recordings out of the box; if you want to use
a DVD-R for VR mode recording, you must
initialize it before recording anything on the
disc.
