Fostex CR500 owner manual Closing a disc, While stopped, press the OPEN/CLOSE key

CD-R/RW MASTER RECORDER CR500 (Recording)

If you press the [REWIND] key while holding down the [STOP/HOME] key, the recorder executes the "Locate ABS 0" function to go to the beginning of the disc and stops.

If you press the [1/space] key in the [MEMORY] key group, the recorder goes to the beginning of the first audio file and automatically starts playback.

<Note>: Because the "Auto Play" menu item of the "PLAY SETUP" menu in the MENU mode is set to "On" by default, when you press the [1/space] key in the [MEMORY] key group, the recorder automatically starts playback after skipping to the beginning of the file (see page 84).

<Note>: When more than one audio file is recorded on a disc, if you press the [RE- WIND] key while holding down the [STOP/HOME] key to execute the "Locate ABS 0" function, the recorder goes the beginning of the first audio file. That is, the "Locate ABS 0" function always locates the beginning of the disc (ABS 0), not the beginning of each file. If you wish to select a desired audio file to be played back from among more than one file, follow the instructions described on page 50.

•After executing "Locate ABS 0", press the [PLAY] key to start playback.

Closing a disc

By closing a recorded BWF formatted disc, you can export WAV files to a Windows com- puter. You can close a disc when you eject the disc. Note that you can make additional recordings to a closed disc by reloading the disc.

<Notes>

•You cannot make additional recordings to a disc which is finalized using the "Finalize" item of the "DISK UTILITY" menu in the MENU mode (see page 92).

•Each time you close a disc, the number of remaining recordable files decreases by one and the remaining disc space decreases approximately one or two seconds (the screen shows the number of remaining recordable files calculated by "97 - (the number of recorded files + the number of times you close the disc)"). We recommend not closing a disc unless it is necessary if you do not like to waste tracks and the disc space.

•While stopped, press the [OPEN/CLOSE] key.

"Un-closed track!" pops up, followed by the confirmation screen.

•To close the disc, press the [ENTER/YES] key. To cancel closing, press the [EXIT/NO] key.

If you press the [ENTER/YES] key, "Please Wait Closing track..." pops up.

After completing closing, the disc is ejected. Note that it takes some time for closing. If you press the [EXIT/NO] key, the disc is ejected immediately.
