7.If you want to finish playback of the audio CD, press [EXIT] several times to return to the Play screen.

8.Press the CD-R/RW drive’s EJECT button to eject the disc.

It may take a period of several seconds before the disc is actually ejected.

When an audio disc is inserted into the CD-R/RW drive, the message “Now Checking...” may remain on the screen for a relatively long time. This period of time is required for reading of the data stored on the audio CD and it is not the result of a malfunction.

Enabling Playback on CD Players (Finalize)

If you intend to play a audio CD that was written using the BR-900CD’s CD-R/RW drive on a standard CD player, the audio CD must be finalized. Audio CD-R/RW discs can be finalized at any time to enable playback on this type of player.

What is finalizing?

In addition to the audio data itself, other information describing the position and time of this data is also written to audio CDs. This process is known as “Finalizing.”

If you finalize:

When finalization has been carried out, you will be able to play your audio CD on a standard CD player. Note, however, that you will no longer be able to add songs to a finalized CD.

Furthermore, the finalization of audio CDs containing only one short song is wasteful, since the remaining empty space on such discs can no longer be used.

For this reason, you should aim to carry out finalizing of a CD disc only when it is nearly full of songs.

If you don’t finalize:

It will not be possible to play your audio CD on a standard CD player until it has been finalized; however, you can keep adding songs to the disc until this process is carried out. Whenever you want to play your audio CD on a standard CD player, you should perform finalization.

1.Insert the CD-R/RW disc to be finalized into the BR- 900CD’s CD-R/RW drive.

The drive’s access indicator will begin to flash. Wait until this indicator stops flashing and turns off before proceeding.

2.Press [CD-R/RW].

The CD menu screen will appear.
