Erasing a CD-RW disc

Although more expensive than CD-R discs, the great advantage of CD-RW is that the discs can be erased and reused. Various

erase options are available depending on whether the disc has been finalized.

A third, special option, erases (re- initializes) the whole disc. This process takes quite a long time to complete and should be used for recovering damaged discs, not for erasing tracks from a healthy disc.

Caution!

Never switch off the power during CD-RW erasing - your disc may become unusable.

If the message CHECK DISC appears any time during any erase process, press 0, take out the disc, clean it, then try the erase command again.

Be sure to remove the disc from the recorder before switching off the power, otherwise the erase operation will not be completed.
