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 CD-RW900, i.e. their TOC can be deleted, and if there is space, further ma- terial can be recorded on them. Even if the disc is full, tracks can be erased following the unfinalize process, and new material can be recorded.

Finalizing

As has been explained earlier (“Finalizing” on page 7), 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 CD-RW900 by the TOC indicator under the disc type on the display being un-lit when the disc is inserted.

To finalize a disc:

1Load the unfinalized disc, and the unit in stop mode, press the FINALIZE key.

The display shows FINALIZE?

If you do not want to proceed with the finalizing process, press the FINALIZE/INS key on the front panel or the FINALIZE key on the remote control.

2To start the finalizing process, push the MULTI JOG dial or press the ENTER key on the remote control. The display shows Sure?

If you do not want to proceed with the finalizing pro- cess, press the STOP key.

3When finalization has been chosen, the display shows the TOC flashing and the remaining time. The unit starts counting down from a time shown on the display.

4When finalization has been finished successfully, Complete appears and the TOC will be lit on the display.

NOTE

During the process of finalizing, any key operation is not accepted.

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/DEL key on the front panel or the ERASE key on the remote control.

Rortate the MULTI JOG dial or press the SKIP keys on the remote control to select UNFINALIZE?. Push the MULTI JOG dial or press the ENTER key to confirm.

If you do not want to proceed with the unfinalizing process, press the ERASE/DEL key on the front panel or the SKIP keys on the remote control.

2The display shows Sure?

If you do not want to proceed with the unfinalizing process, press the STOP key.

3To start the unfinalizing process, press the MULTI JOG dial or the ENTER key again.

When unfinalization has been chosen, the display shows the Erase flashing and the remaining time. The unit starts counting down from a time shown on the display.

4When finalization has been finished successfully, Complete appears on the display, yet the TOC will go off.
