Finalizing discs

When recording has taken place on a CD-R or CD-RW disc, the TOC must be written to allow the disc to be played on ordinary CD players.

Press the on-screen FINALIZE switch in the Virtual Front Panel (see “The virtual front panel (VFP)” on page 23) to bring up a pop-up message.

Press ENTER to finalize the disc, or CANCEL to return to the VFP.

The screen shows an appropriate message while final- ization is taking place (about a minute). No cancellation is possible until the finalization is complete.

NOTE

This function may also be accessed through the dedicated FINALIZE key on the RC-RA1000.

Unfinalizing discs

This is the opposite of finalizing—removing the TOC to allow more tracks to be added (subject to the space available on the disc).

This is only possible with CD-RW discs, of course.

To unfinalize a disc, press the on-screen UNFINAL switch in the Virtual Front Panel (see “The virtual front panel (VFP)” on page 23) to bring up a pop-up message.

Press ENTER to unfinalize the disc, or CANCEL to return to the VFP.

The screen shows an appropriate message while the disc is being unfinalized (about a minute).

NOTE

This function may also be accessed through the dedicated UNFINALIZE key on the RC-RA1000.

Erasing discs (CD-RW)

CD-RW discs can be erased and reused using the erase function available from the VFP.

To erase a disc, press the on-screen ERASE switch in the Virtual Front Panel (see “The virtual front panel (VFP)” on page 23) to select either a full erase of the disc (Full Erase) or a faster erase (Fast Erase) process and bring up a pop-up message.

Press ENTER to erase the disc, or CANCEL to return to the VFP.

NOTE

The Fast Erase process removes only the TOC, but not the entire data.
