Notes:

•Never turn off the power or remove the power cord during finalization. Doing so may damage all the data on the disc. An inserted disc can be corrupt and no longer usable if the power is accidentally turned off or in case of power failure.

•Do not shake or subject the CDR-201A to vibrations during recording, finalizing, erasing, or while “PMA Writing” is displayed. Doing so may cause the sound on the disc to skip or the data on the disc to become unreadable.

•Never finalize discs that are scratched, dirty, or dusty. The process may not be carried out properly.

•During finalization, the operation button on the CDR-201A will be disabled.

Auto finalization

For CD dubbing, you can turn on the auto finalization function. When auto finalization is turned on, finalization occurs automatically at the end of recording. For details, refer to the applicable pages.
