Unfinalizing (CD-RW only)

If you want to record again on a finalized CD-RW, unfinalize it.

By unfinalizing (reversing the finalization), you will be able to record and delete tracks on the CD-RW again.

1 Press the input SOURCE button and select CD mode.

2 Load a finalized (recordable) disc.

3 Press the FINALIZE/ERASE button in the stop mode.

Press the FINALIZE/ERASE button once. “UNFINALIZE” appears on the display.

<If ”FINALIZE” appears on the display, the disc is not finalized, so unfinalization is unnecessary

<To cancel the operation at this point, press the stop button (H).

4 Press the CD Play/Pause (t/J) button to start unfinalizing.

Unfinalization starts.

When unfinalization completes, the display will show “COMPLETE” briefly before returning to its ordinary appearance (total number of tracks and total playback time).

<Never turn the power off nor unplug the power cord during unfinalizing.

<During unfinalizing, no button works.
