Finalizing a disc

Before you can play a CD-R on an ordinary CD player, the disc must go through a process called finalization. Once finalized, a CD-R disc is no longer recordable, nor will you be able to set or clear skip IDs. Finalization is not reversible for CD-Rs so be absolutely sure that everything on the disc is the way you want it before you start.

CD-RW discs can also be finalized, although you can still erase the disc afterwards and reuse it, so it's not anything like as final as it is with a CD-R disc. A finalized CD-RW disc can only be played on a CD player that is compatible with CD-RW discs (currently only recent players).

Caution!

Finalization takes a couple of minutes. During this time never switch off the power to the unit— the disc may become unusable as

a result.

1Load the CD-R or CD-RW you want to finalize.

Check that the disc is free from dust, dirt and scratches—if necessary, clean the disc, following the guidelines on page 7.

2 Press FINALIZE.

The FINALIZE indicator lights. After a short while you should see a display something like this:

The display shows how long finalization will take—the exact time taken depends on the disc.

Press 7 here to cancel finalization.

3 Press 8 (6 on the front panel) to start finalization.

Finalization takes about two minutes; you'll see how long there is remaining in the display. The player stops when finished.

For a CD-R, the CD-R indicator now changes to simply CD.

For a CD-RW, the finalize indicator lights in the display.

None of the controls on the player or the remote have any effect during finalization. If, however, the recorder hasn't managed to finalize the disc within 10 minutes, you can abort the operation by pressing 7. If you do this, the disc won't be playable on an ordinary CD player.
