Finalizing a CD-R or CD-

RW

Finalizing completes the recording of a disc. It enables you to play the disc on other players. (The player must be CD-RW compatible. ) When a recording is finished, a CD-R or CD- RW must be finalized. Once that is done, a CD- R may not be added or erased to. CD-RWs are locked once they are finalized, and must be unfinalized to permit additional recording or erasure.

When using the remote, set SELECT to CDR.
