Finalizing a disc

Before you can play a CD-R on an ordinary CD player, the disc must go through a process called finalization. Once finalized, a CD-R disc is no longer recordable. Finalization is not reversible for CD-Rs so be absolutely sure that everything on the disc is the way you want it before you start.

CD-RW discs can also be finalized, although you can still erase the disc afterward and reuse it, so it's not anything like as final as it is with a CD-R disc. A finalized CD-RW disc can only be played on a CD player that is compatible with CD-RW discs (at present, there are very few of these).

Caution!

Finalization takes a few minutes. During this time never switch off the power to the unit — the disc may be damaged as a result.

1Load the CDÐR or CDÐRW you want to finalize.

•Check that the disc is free from dust, dirt and scratches — if necessary, clean the disc following the guidelines on page 43.

2Press FINALIZE.

The recorder goes into record-pause mode, then the display changes to:

MINSEC

TOC O1:56 REC

3Press 6 (CD-R side) to start final-

ization.

Finalization takes about 2 minutes; you'll see how long there is still to go in the display.

After finalization is complete:

If a CD-R is loaded, the CD-R indicator changes to CD.

If a CD-RW is loaded, the finalize indicator lights in the display.

•None of the controls on the player or the remote have any effect during finalization. If, however, the recorder hasn't managed to finalize the disc within 10 minutes, you can abort the operation by pressing 7. If you do this, the disc won't be playable on an ordinary CD player.

• Press 7(CD-R side) here to cancel finalization.
