Increasing the free space on a CD-RW disc—Optimize Disc
When you perform overdubbing (p. 124) or punch-in/out (p. 121), the data that you
rewrite (replace) actually remains on the CD-RW disc. In some cases, this unwanted
data may occupy a significant amount of space on the CD-RW disc. This will cause
the time available for recording to be less than it should be.
By executing Optimize you can erase the unwanted data from the CD-RW disc,
increasing the amount of available space on the CD-RW disc.

operation, the CD-RW disc
may become unusable, or the
drive may be damaged.
After you execute Optimize, it
is not possible to press
[UNDO/REDO] (p. 138) to
revert to the state before
executing Optimize.
