Playing your recordings on other
DVD players

Most regular DVD players can play finalized discs
recorded in DVD-R/-RW (Video mode) and DVD+R discs.
A number of players (including many Pioneer models)
can also play DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode,
finalized or not. Most players will not play VR mode DVD
-R discs, although some DVD-ROM drives and DVD
recorders may be able to (finalization might be
necessary). Check the manual that came with the player
to check what kinds of discs it will play.

When you finalize a DVD-R/-RW (Video mode) or DVD+R
disc, a title menu is created from which you can select
titles when you play the disc. There are a number of
different styles of title menu to choose from to suit the
content of the disc.

All the title menus are navigated in the usual way,
pressing

MENU or TOP MENU to display the menu, then

using the

/// followed by ENTER to select titles

and start playback.

Finalizing a disc

Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings on the disc so that it can
be played on a regular DVD player or computer equipped

with a suitable DVD-ROM drive.

Note that the disc name will appear in the title menu after
you finalize a disc. Make sure the disc name is as you
want it before you finalize the disc as it can’t be changed
afterwards. If you want to rename the disc, see Input Disc
Name on page 147 before starting the steps below.

DVD+RW discs don’t generally need finalizing. However,
if you want a title menu to appear when you play the disc,
then you will need to finalize. When using a DVD+RW,
you can still record and edit even after finalizing,
although the title menu will disappear if you do so.
Finalize the disc again to generate a new title menu.

Important

• Once you’ve finalized a DVD-R/-RW (Video mode) or

DVD+R disc, you can’t edit or record anything else
on that disc. However, the finalization on a DVD-RW
disc maybe ‘undone’; see Undo Finalize on page 148
for how to do this.

• 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.

Load the disc you want to finalize.

Make sure that the recorder is stopped before proceeding.

Select ‘Disc Setup’ from the Home Menu.

Select ‘Finalize’ > ‘Finalize’ > ‘Next Screen’.

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.

Note

1 If the TV line system of the disc is different to the current setting of the recorder, you will not be able to finalize the disc. See Additional

information about the TV system settings on page 161 for how to change the recorder’s setting.
