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
MAKECD 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.

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

be erased, stored for other discs, or another disc must be
finalized in order to create space in the memory.
