Erasing CD-RW media

Erasing CD-RW media

Here’s how to erase all data that has been written to CD-RW media so that the CD-RW disc can be used to record new data. You will need to perform this operation on a disc that has been used to store data from a computer or other equipment if you want to use that disc with the AW2400.

HINT

Since data is erased as necessary when you back up AW2400 data to CD-RW media or when you write audio data to CD-RW media, you do not need to perform the following procedure each time you re-use the disc.

NOTE

• The erased data cannot be recovered. Perform this operation with care.

1 Call the CD screen Setting page by either pressing the Work Navigate section [CD] key as many times as necessary, or by pressing the [F3] key after pressing the [CD] key.

2 Move the cursor to the CD-RW MEDIA ERASE field, and press the [ENTER] key to select the desired erasure method.

The buttons select the following erasure methods.

SIMPLY button ...........Only the TOC (Table Of Con- tents) data written to the CD- RW disc will be erased. This is the quickest way to erase a CD-RW disc.

PERFECTLY button ...All data written to the CD- RW disc will be erased com- pletely. This method erases all data from the media and thus will take longer than the SIMPLY option.

Move the cursor to the appropriate button and press the [ENTER] key. A popup window will ask you to confirm the erasure.

HINT

Pressing the [F1]–[F2] keys while holding the Display section [SHIFT] key has the same effect as the SIMPLY ([F1] key) and PERFECTLY ([F2] key) buttons, respectively.

3 To execute the erasure move the cursor to the OK button. If you decide not to erase the disc move the cursor to the CANCEL button. Then press the [ENTER] key.

Erasure will begin if you selected the OK button. (This operation cannot be halted.)
