INFORMATION DISPLAY

When the disc is loaded, the type or status of disc is displayed as follows.

Conventional audio CD, CD-Text CD, finalized CD-R or CD-RW disc

“TOC” will flash while the unit reads the disc’s Table Of Contents information.

The total number of tracks and the total time of all tracks will be displayed. “CD” will also light to indicate that a conventional audio CD is in use.

Non-finalized CD-R or CD-RW disc

“OPC” will be displayed once “TOC” has been read. OPC determines the intensity and duration of the recording laser beam that is best for the currently loaded disc.
