Finalization completes the recording of a disc so that it can be played in other machines.

PRECAUTION

•Once a CD-R disc is finalized, the disc cannot be unfinalized.

•A CD-RW disc can be unfinalized.

•During the finalization process, never switch the power off, or the disc may be damaged.

•Once started, the finalization process cannot be aborted.

•Dust or scratches on a disc may prevent it from being finalized successfully.

•The finalization process time depends on the disc and number of tracks.

•During the finalization process the record deck will not accept any operating commands.

3Within 3 seconds, press PLAY on the record deck. Alternatively, press CD REC and then PLAY on the remote control “FINAL” and remaining time will flash.

•The finalization process will take between 60 and 90 seconds, depending on the length of material recorded on the disc.
