Recording and finalizing discs

Unlike other recording media, recordable CDs have a number of distinct states, and what you can do with a disc depends on the current state of the disc. The figure below shows the three states—blank, partially recorded, and finalized— and summarizes what’s possible () and impossible () in each.

*Once the CD-RW has been erased, it be- comes recordable again and skip IDs can be set and cleared.

**In general, current CD players cannot play CD- RW discs. However, this situation will change in the future.

The process of finalization fixes the contents of a CD-R in place permanently by creating a Table of Contents (TOC, for short) at the beginning of the disc which tells other players exactly what's on the disc and where to find it. See Finalizing a disc on page 26 for more details on finalization.

Keep in mind the following when using the remote control unit:

Make sure that there are no obstacles in between the remote and the remote sensor on the unit.

Use within the operating range and angle, as shown in the diagram below.

Remote operation may become unreliable if strong sunlight or fluorescent light is shining on the unit’s remote sensor.

Remote controllers for different devices can interfere with each other. Avoid using remotes for equipment located near this unit while using the CDR-830.

Replace the batteries when you notice a fall off in the operating range of the remote.
