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

Auto finalizing is possible when using the MAKE CD recording function.

Manual finalizing

1 Make sure the disc (in the CD recorder) is absolutely free of scratches and dust particles.

2 With the recorder stopped, press FINALIZE.

The display will show FINALIZE CD and PRESS RECORD.

3 You can now start recording or erasing. If no further recording or erasure is required, press STOP 9.

Note:

-Unfinalizing will take approximately 1 minute 30 seconds.

-When unfinalizing a CDRW disc with text available on it, this text will be transferred to the CD recorder memory. The text memory may be full. If so, the message MEMORY FULL/FINALIZE CD will be displayed.

To empty the recorder’s text memory, you will have to erase text from it. This can be done in two ways:

1)Finalize one or more unfinalized discs for which CD text is available.

2)Delete text of unfinalized discs with the ‘memory view’ option in the Menu mode.
