Power saving

The CD-RW4U provides a function that allows auto-

matic switching into standby mode after five minutes

of inactivity (defined as no front panel or remote con-

trol unit control used, no commands received through

the USB connection, and no disc playback or record-

ing).

To set this mode:

1Press the MENU key (E or 7) until the dis-

play shows: PWR SAVE>xxx, where

xxx can be ON or OFF.

2Turn the MULTI DIAL (main unit) B or press

the SKIP (remote control) I keys to change

the value.

3Press the MULTI DIAL (main unit) B or

press the ENTER key (remote control unit) 8

to return to the previous display.

When power saving is set on, every minute that the

CD-RW4U is left on with no activity, the CD-RW4U

shows a “countdown” message for a few seconds,

Finalizing

Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or

CD-RW disc, a standard CD player will not be able

to read the data (i.e. play back the audio) until a final

table of contents (TOC) has been written at the start

of the disc.

The process of writing this table of contents is known

as “finalizing”. Once this has been done, no further

data can be written to the disc. See “Finalizing discs”

on page 27 for details.

In the case of a CD-RW disc which has been final-

ized, the whole of the disc may be erased, or the disc

may be “refreshed”, and the disc re-used.

In addition, a CD-RW disc that has been finalized

may be “unfinalized”, i.e. the TOC is removed. This

allows further tracks to be recorded to the disc, pro-

vided that there is space on the disc.
