Erasing a CD–RW Disc

Although more expensive than CD–Rdiscs, the great advantage of CD–RWis that the discs can be erased and reused. Various erase options are available depending on whether the disc has been finalized. If you want to perform an erase operation on a finalized disc that is only available for non-finalized discs, you first have to do a TOC erase. This returns a finalized disc to a non-finalized state.

A third, special option, erases (re-initializes) the whole disc. This process takes quite a long time to complete and should be used for recovering damaged discs, not for erasing tracks from a healthy disc.

CAUTION!

Never switch off the power during CD–RWerasing - your disc may become unusable. If there's a power failure or you do accidently disconnect the power, the recorder will try and re-initialize the disc once power is restored. Unfortu- nately, it may not be possible to complete the process successfully, and the disc may be damaged as a result.

If the message CHECK DISC appears any time during any erase process, hit eject, take out the disc, clean it, then try the erase command again.

Be sure to remove the disc from the recorder before switching off the power, otherwise the erase operation will not be completed.
