This section deals with the actions taken after recording. Once finalized, CD-R discs are truly final. No more tracks can be recorded on them. By contrast, CD-RW discs can be “unfinalized”, and if there is space, further material can be recorded on them.

Finalizing

As has been explained earlier, in order for a disc to become a standard CD, it must have a Table of Contents (TOC) written to it. This process is known as finalizing.

1Press the CD button to select “CD”.

4Press the PLAY (y) button to start finalizing.

“NO TOC” and “REC” indicators blink, and the remaining time for the finalizing operation appears in the display.

When the operation has been finished, the NO TOC indicator turns off and the display returns to the track/time display.

During finalizing, no button works.

Never turn the power off nor unplug the power cord.

<Although finalized CD-R discs may be played on ordinary CD players, remember that finalized CD-RW discs may not play on ordinary CD players.

2Load an unfinalized (recordable) disc.

3Press the FINALIZE button in the stop mode.

“FIn--d” appears on the display.

<To cancel the finalizing process, press the STOP button (H).
