For Video mode 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’ 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.

The recorder will now start finalizing the disc.

During finalization:

• If the finalization process of a DVD-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. A disc
recorded in Video mode can take up to 20 minutes.

Note

• 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 98 for how to change the

recorder’s setting.

Initializing a recordable DVD disc

When you first load a blank disc, the recorder will
initialize it automatically for recording. You can also
manually initialize discs for either Video mode recording

or VR mode recording.

1

By default, the recorder initializes blank DVD-RW discs
for VR mode recording. See

DVD-RW Auto Init.

on page 96

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 do it before recording anything else
on the disc.

Important

• Initializing a DVD-RW 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.
