Erasing tracks from a disc (CD-RW only)

1 Press the input SOURCE button and select CD mode.

2 Load a CD-RW that has not been finalized or has been unfinalized.

<If you load a finalized disc, “UNFINALIZE” will appear. You must unfinalize the disc before you can erase tracks on it (page 37).

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

<Each time the ERASE button is pressed, the display changes as follows:

FINALIZEZ

ERASE #

(# is the last track number)

(Not shown if only 1 track recorded)

ERSAE DISC

Ordinary playback mode

(total number of tracks and total playback time)

<If a finalized disc is loaded, “UNFINALIZE” is displayed. Because a finalized disc cannot be erased, you need to unfinalize it first (page 36).

Erasing the last track

Press the FINALIZE/ERASE button until “ERASE” and the last track number appear on the display.

<You can also erase all the tracks from the currently selected track number to the last track at once. To do this, use a skip (. or /) button to select the track from which you want to start erasing. (You cannot erase only certain tracks before the last track.)

Erasing all tracks (ordinary mode)

<Press the FINALIZE/ERASE button until “ERASE DISC” appears on the display.

4 Press a CD Play/Pause (t/J) button to start erasing.

The track(s) will be erased.

After erasure completes, the display will return to its ordinary appearance (total number of tracks and total playback time).

<Do not turn off the power or disconnect the power cord during erasure.

<During erasure, buttons will not function when pushed.

<Erasure cannot be undone! Be sure that you want to erase the contents of a CD before starting.
