RECORDING

Finalising CDR & CDRW discs

During finalising the Table of Contents (TOC) is written to the disc.

Finalising is a simple procedure, necessary 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 finalising

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

Manual finalising

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

2 With the recorder stopped press FINALIZE.

The display shows 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:

-Unfinalising will take approximately 1 minute 30 seconds.

-When unfinalising a CDRW disc with text on it available, this text will be transferred to the CD recorder memory. It may occur that the text memory is full. The message MEMORY FULL/FINALIZE CD will be displayed.

To empty the recorders text memory you have to erase text from it. This can be done in two ways:

1)Finalise one or more unfinalised discs for which CD text is available.

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