Finalizing a Disc

Additional Recording Features

Finalizing a Disc

Before you can play a CD–Ron an ordinary CD player, the disc must go through a process called finalization. Once finalized, a CD–Rdisc is no longer recordable, nor will you be able to set or clear skip IDs. 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–RWdiscs 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–Rdisc. A finalized CD–RWdisc can only be played on a CD player that is compatible with CD–RWdiscs (at present, these are very few).

CAUTION!

Finalization takes a few minutes. During this time never switch off the power to the unit—the disc may become unusable as a result. If there's a power failure or you do accidently disconnect the power during finalization, the recorder will try and complete finalization once power is restored. Unfortunately, it may not be possible to complete the process successfully, and the disc may be damaged as a result.

3 Press 8 (pause) to start finalization.

Finalization takes about four minutes; you'll see how long there is still to go in the display. The player goes into stop mode when finished.

For a CD–R, the CD–Rindicator now changes to simply CD.

For a CD–RW, 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 (stop). If you do this, the disc won't be playable on an ordinary CD player.
