erasure process. When the display counts down to 0:00 and the Record Indicator P goes out, the Information Display Y will return to its normal indi- cations and the track has been erased. You may now repeat the procedure to erase additional tracks, work- ing backward from the last track on the disc to the first, or return to normal operation.

Important Note: Tracks at the beginning or in the middle of the disc may not be erased until all of the tracks after them have been erased.

Important Note on Erasure and Finalization Times: Regardless of the speed at which a disc was recorded, the CDR 26 will erase and finalize discs at the x4 speed to minimize the length of the process. However, in some cases, it may be necessary for the unit to repeat the erasure or finalization due to the nature of an individual disc. For that reason, it is nor- mal for the time required to complete these steps to vary from one disc to another.
