About Recording

CD-R and CD-RW

A CD-R disc can be recorded only once. Recorded tracks cannot be erased. However, if some recordable time is still available, additional recording is possible. If you finish recording and finalize the CD-R disc, it can be played with a normal CD player. (Some CD players may not be compatible.)

On a CD-RW disc, even if no recordable time is available, you can erase tracks already recorded and record tracks repeatedly. You can erase all tracks at once or the last track only. However, you cannot erase only tracks in the middle of the disc.

If you finish recording and finalize the CD-RW disc, it can be played with a normal CD player. (page 36). Only CD players that support CD-RW discs can do so.

If you want to record again on a finalized CD-RW, unfinalize it (page 37). By unfinalizing (reversing the finalization), you will be able to record and delete tracks on the CD-RW again.

CD-RW discs can only be played with compatible CD players.

Serial Copy Management System

This unit is in compliance with the Serial Copy Management System standard. This standard has been established to restrict digital-to- digital copying to only the first generation. The basic rules governing this system are as follows:

Rule 1

A digital recording is possible from a digital source such as a CD, DAT or MD onto a recordable CD-R, CD-RW, MD or DAT through

adigital input connection. However, further digital-to-digital recording is prohibited for the second and later generations.

Rule 2

When an analog source such as an analog disc or FM broadcast is digitally recorded by using a CD-R, CD-RW, MD or DAT, this recorded source can be digitally recorded on another CD-R, CD-RW, MD or DAT. However, further digital copying is prohibited.
