•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.
5The 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.
DVD-R/-RW discs can be initialized for either
Video mode recording or VR mode
recording.

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 50 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.
