6 – After recording

This section deals with the actions taken after record- ing: finalizing for CD-R and CD-RW discs, and erase operations for CD-RW discs.

Once finalized, CD-R discs are truly final—no more can be recorded on them. By contrast, CD-RW discs

can be “unfinalized” using the CC-222MKII, that is, their TOC can be deleted, and if there is space, fur- ther material can be recorded on them. Even if the disc is full, tracks can be erased following the unfi- nalize process, and new material can be recorded.

Finalizing

As has been explained earlier (“Finalizing” on

page 8), in order for a disc to become a standard CD, it must have a Table of Contents (TOC) written to it. This process is known as finalizing.

An unfinalized disc can always be distinguished on the CC-222MKII by the NO TOC indicator under the disc type on the display being lit when the disc is inserted.

To finalize a disc:

1With the unfinalized (recordable) disc loaded, and the unit in stop mode, press the

FINALIZE key.

The display shows Finalize OK?.

2To start the finalizing process, press the

MULTI DIAL or press the ENTER key.

If you do not want to proceed with the final- izing process, press any other key (such as the STOP key).

If finalization has been chosen, the display changes. The NO TOC indicator goes out, and the word TOC and the REC indicator flash in the display. The unit starts counting down from a time shown on the display (about 1 minute 10 seconds).

After finalization, a CD-RW NO TOC changes to CD-RW and a CD-R NO TOC changes to a CD.

NOTE

Although CD-R discs finalized on the CC-222MKII may be replayed on ordinary CD players, remember that finalized CD-RW discs may not play on CD players.

Unfinalizing CD-RW discs

If a CD-RW disc has been finalized, it is possible to erase the Table of Contents in the following way:

1With the finalized disc loaded and the unit in stop mode, press the ERASE key so that the display shows the word Unfinalize?.

2To start the unfinalizing process, press the MULTI DIAL control or press the ENTER key.

If you do not want to proceed with the unfi- nalizing process, press any other key (such as the STOP key).

If unfinalization has been chosen, the NO TOC indicator starts flashing in the display, and the word ERASE also starts flashing. The unit starts counting down from a time shown on the display (about 50 seconds).

After unfinalization, a CD-RWindicator changes to a CD-RW NO TOC indicator.

Erasing

Unfinalizing (described above) is a special case of erasing a disc. It is also possible to erase a track or tracks, starting with the last-recorded track, a whole disc, or to “refresh” a disc.

NOTE

Erase procedures are possible only on a CD-RW disc. If a CD-RW disc has been finalized, it must first be unfinal- ized. Remember that it is not possible to perform any erase procedures on a CD-R disc.

Erasing tracks

It is possible to erase the last recorded track, the last two recorded tracks, the last three recorded tracks,

etc. It is not, however, possible to erase tracks in the “middle” of the disc.
