Creating a Music CD

Make a Disc Playable in a Conventional CD Player (Finalize)

In order for a CD-R/RW disc you’ve recorded on the CD-2 to
be playable in a conventional CD player, you must “finalize”
the disc.
A finalized CD-R disc or CD-RW disc can be played back as a
music CD in a CD player that supports CD-R or CD-RW
playback, respectively.
NOTE
• We cannot guarantee that music CDs created by the
CD-2 will play back on all CD players. Depending on its
degree of support for CD-R/RW discs, your CD player
may be unable to play them correctly.
MEMO
• No more data can be written/recorded to a CD-R/RW
disc that has been finalized, even though there may be
space remaining on the disc.
However, in the case of a CD-RW disc, you can remove
the finalization and add/record additional material.
