Important

• Once you’ve finalized a disc recorded in Video mode,

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 85 for how to do

this.

• A VR mode disc can still be recorded and edited on

this recorder even after finalizing.

1

Load the disc you want to finalize.

Make sure that the recorder is stopped before
proceeding.

2

Press HOME MENU and select ‘Disc Setup’.

3

Select ‘Finalize’.

4

Select ‘Finalize’ from the finalize options, then

‘Start’.

The recorder starts finalizing the disc.

• If the finalization process is going to take more than

around 4 minutes, you can press

ENTER

to cancel.

Around 4 minutes before completion, the option to
cancel disappears.

• 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 1 hour to finalize. A disc
recorded in Video mode can take up to 20 minutes.

5

For Video mode discs only, select a title menu

style.

The menu you select will be the one that appears when
the ‘top menu’ 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.

Initializing a DVD-RW disc

When you first load a blank disc, the recorder will
initialize it automatically for recording. You can also
manually initialize DVD-RW discs.

You can initialize a disc for either Video mode recording
or VR mode recording.

Important

• Initializing a 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 disc in a different

format if it was originally initialized on an older DVD
recorder.

1

Press HOME MENU and select ‘Disc Setup’.

2

Select ‘Initialize’

3

Select ‘Video Mode’ or ‘VR Mode’ from the

initialize options.

4

Select ‘Start’.

It takes about 40 seconds to initialize the disc.

Note

• By default, the recorder initializes blank DVD-RW

discs for VR mode recording. See

DVD-RW Auto Init.

on page 97 if you want to change the default to Video
mode.

• If a disc was previously finalized on an older DVD

recorder, you may not be able to re-initialize and/or
initialize it for Video mode recording.
