• A VR mode DVD-R/-RW (excluding DVD-R DL) disc
can still be recorded and 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 Select ‘Disc Setup’ from the Home Menu.
3 Select ‘Finalize’ > ‘Finalize’ > ‘Next Screen’.
4 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.
5 The recorder will now start finalizing the disc.
During finalization:
• If the finalization process of a DVD-RW or 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 VR mode DVD-R
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 90 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.
DVD+RW and DVD-RAM discs can also be initialized in
order to erase the contents of the disc.
Important
• Initializing a DVD-RW, DVD+RW or DVD-RAM disc
will erase everything recorded on it. Make sure there
is nothing on the disc that you want to keep!
• You may not be able to re-initialize a DVD-RW disc in
a different format if it was originally initialized on an
older DVD recorder.
• Once initialized for VR mode recording, you can’t re-
initialize a DVD-R back to Video mode.
