Finalizing CDR & CDRW discs
During finalizing, the table of contents (TOC) is written to the disc.
Finalizing is a simple procedure that is necessary in order to:
-be able to play recordings on a CD PLAYER
-avoid further unwanted recordings on a disc,
-avoid erasure of tracks on a CDRW,
-write CD text on a CDR(W).
Auto finalizing
The CDR(W) is automatically finalized when using the MAKE CD recording function.
Manual finalizing
1Make sure the disc (in the CD recorder) is absolutely free of scratches and dust particles.
2With the recorder stopped, press FINALIZE.
➜The display will show FINALIZE CD and
PRESS RECORD.
3Press RECORD.
➜XX XX FINAL and the approximate finalization time is shown on the display.
The display counts down through the finalization. Upon completion, the total number of tracks and the total time recorded will appear on the display.
For CDR(W), CDR(W) changes to CD on display.
Finalizing will take at least 2- 4 minutes.
Notes:
During finalization, the CD recorder will not accept operating commands.
When a CDR has been finalized, no more recordings can be added.
Unfinalizing CDRW discs
For CDRW discs only
If you want to make more recordings (or erase tracks) on a finalized disc, you must unfinalize it first.The index of the disc content will be removed.
To unfinalize
1With the CD recorder stopped, press RECORDING TYPE or ERASE.
➜UNFINALIZE and PRESS ENTER will appear on the display.
2Press JOG (ENTER).
➜The disc will now be unfinalized and can be used again to record.
0If no further recording or erasure is required, press STOP 9.
Notes:
Unfinalizing will take approximately 1,5 minutes.
When unfinalizing a CDRW disc with text available, this text will be transferred to the CD recorder memory. However,
if the text memory is full, the message
MEMORY FULL/FINALIZE CD will be displayed.Text must be erased, stored for other discs, or another disc must be finalized in order to create space in the memory.
