Chapter 3: Recording CDs

Unfinalizing Discs (CD-RWs only)

If you want to record additional tracks on a finalized CD-RW or completely erase a CD- RW that has been finalized, you’ll need to unfinalize it first. This process removes track information on the CD, including the Tables of Contents (TOC).

2.Press ERASE, then PLAY/PAUSE on side B of the unit (ERS TOC and ERASE appear).

Unfinalization takes about 1 minute. When finished, ERS OK appears and the recorder displays the total number of tracks and the total time for the disc.

When finished, ERS OK appears and the recorder displays the remaining disc information.
