MAKING A RECORDED DISC PLAYABLE ON A STANDARD CD PLAYER (FINALIZATION)

What is finalization?

ÖFinalization is the last process in recording a CD-R to allow the disc to be played on a standard CD player. (CD- RW discs whether finalized or not can only be played on a CD-RW player and not on a standard CD player).

ÖOnce a disc is finalized recording or skip ID manipulation is no longer possible. Please ensure the disc is in its final form before commencing finalization.

ÖIf the power supply is interrupted during finalization, the disc may be unusable.

Finalization procedure

1 Load a recorded (but not finalized) CD-R or CD- RW disc.

ÖEnsure that there are no scratches, dust or marks on the disc. If there are any marks clean the disc. (As described on page 22.)

2 Press the FINALIZE button. The unit enters the record-pause mode.

ÖThe displayed time for finalization varies depending on the disc.

ÖFinalization can be canceled by pressing the STOP button.

ÖThe process will be canceled automatically if no further actions are taken within 10 minutes.

3 Press the 8 (PAUSE) button to start the finalization procedure.

ÖThe time finalization will take to complete is displayed. Usually within about 4 minutes.

ÖWhen CD-R finalization is complete the display changes from the CD-R indicator to the CD indicator, and the unit enters stop mode.

ÖWhen CD-RW finalization is complete the display shows the CD-RW and FINALIZE indicators, and the unit enters stop mode.

CAUTION:

ÖOnce the finalization process has started no other operation is possible.

ÖIf the disc is marked or scratched, the finalization process may not be completed.

If the finalization process is not complete within 10 minutes the operation can be cancelled by pressing the STOP button. The disc will not be finalized and will not play in a normal CD player.

ÖNEVER disconnect the power during finalization.

If the power supply is interrupted during finalization, when the power is re-applied the finalization will resume. “RESUME” will be displayed until finalization is complete. In some cases the disc may not complete the finalization process.
