5 – After recording—Erasing

TASCAM CD-RW4U 29

NOTE

This operation cannot be undone. If you are going to erase

a disc, make sure that it contains only recordings that you

really want to erase!

If the erase operation has been selected, the

word ERASE flashes on the display, and

the timer starts counting down a time value

shown on the display.

At the end of the countdown period, the word

Complete appears briefly on the dis-

play, and the display returns to the track/

time display.

Refreshing a disc

If a CD-RW disc has been corrupted at any point (e.g.

power has been cut off in the middle of a finalize

operation, etc.), or has been used in a computer or

another piece of equipment that makes it unreadable,

it is possible to “refresh” the disc to make it usable

again. This is equivalent to formatting a disk on a

computer to prepare it for use. This operation

destroys all data on the disc.

1With the disc loaded, and the unit in stop

mode, press the ERASE key (D).

2Turn the MULTI DIAL control B or use the

SKIP keys I until the display shows DISC

REFRESH.

If you do not want to proceed with the

refresh operation, press any other key (such

as the STOP key).

3To refresh the disc, press the MULTI DIAL

control or press the ENTER key 8.

NOTE

This operation cannot be undone. If you are going to

refresh a disc, make sure that it contains only recordings

that you really want to erase!

4If the refresh operation has been selected, the

words ERASE XX:XX are shown on the

display, and the timer starts counting down

(XX:XX). The refresh operation takes

between 20 and 40 minutes, depending on the

media being refreshed.

5At the end of the countdown period, the word

Complete appears briefly on the dis-

play, and the display returns to the track/

time display (of course, there are no tracks,

and the disc is as the start, with the total time

of the disc available for recording).
