Erase or Unfinalize a CD-RW

Erase procedures are possible only on an unfinalized CD-RW disc. If a CD-RW disc has been finalized, unfinalize it prior to erasure. Note that it is not possible to perform any erase or unfinalize procedures on a CD-R disc.

It is possible to erase the last recorded track. It is also possible to erase a whole disc.

1Press the CD button to select “CD”.

2Load a recorded CD-RW.

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

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

“UnFINAL” (unfinalize) appears when a finalized disc is loaded. “FINAL” appears when the disc has not been finalized. If you press the FINALIZE/ERASE button again, “ErASE” and the last track number will appear.

UnFINAL

Select this to unfinalize the disc.

ErASE XX (the number of the last track recorded on the disc)

Select this to erase the last track on the disc.

<This will not appear when only one track is recorded on the disc.

ErASE ALL

Select this to erase all the tracks.

<To erase a number in a finalized CD-RW, unfinalize (UnFINAL) first and then erase the number by the same procedure (ErASE or ErASE ALL).

<To cancel the erasing or unfinalizing process, press the STOP button (H).

4Press the ENTER button to start finalizing.

The remaining time for the operation appears in the display. When the operation has been finished, the display returns to the track/time display.

During erasing/unfinalizing, no buttons will work.

Never turn the power off nor unplug the power cord.

<This operation cannot be undone. If you are going to erase a track or tracks, make sure that they are recordings that you really want to erase.
