FINALIZATION

Finalization is the process of embedding a Table Of Contents (TOC) on a CD-R or CD-RW on which recording is completed.

This process enables the CD-R and CD-RW to be played on the CD player of this unit or any other conventional CD players. (CD- RW discs, however, can be played only on CD-RW players.)

Once finalized, a CD-R can no longer be recorded, while a CD- RW becomes recordable again if the tracks are erased or unfinalized. (See "ERASING RECORDINGS ON A CD-RW" on page 24.)

NOTE

•Never turn the unit off by pressing POWER or disconnecting the AC cord during the finalizing process.

If the unit is turned off even by accident or power failure damages the disc and it may no longer be restored.

(To restore a damaged CD-RW, see "ERASING RECORDINGS ON A CD-RW" on page 24.)

•Do not finalize the CD-R or CD-RW which was recorded on other equipment. Doing so may cause the finalizing process to be unsuccessful.

•During the finalizing process, all the buttons (except POWER) are inoperative.

•Dust or scratches on a disc may prevent it from being successfully finalized.
