AW1600 Owner’s Manual

Here’s how to erase all data that has been written to CD-RW media, so that the CD-RW disc can

be used as a blank disc. You will need to perform this operation on a disc that has been used to

store computer data etc. if you want to use that disc on the AW1600.

1In the Work Navigate section, repeatedly
press the [CD] key or hold down the [CD]
key and use the CURSOR [ ]/[ ] keys to
access the SETTING page of the CD screen.
2Move the cursor to the CD-RW MEDIA
ERASE field, and press the [ENTER] key to
select the desired erasure method.
Each button selects the following erasure method.
SIMPLY button...........Only the TOC (Table Of Con-
tents) data written to the CD-
RW media will be erased. If
you select this method, it will
take only a short time to
erase the CD-RW media.
PERFECTLY button...All data written to the CD-
RW media will be erased
completely. Since this
method erases all data from
the media, it will take a
longer time than SIMPLY.
Move the cursor to the desired button, and press the
[ENTER] key. A popup window will ask you to con-
firm the erasure.
If you turn on the SIMPLY button
If you turn on the PERFECTLY button
3To 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.
If you selected the OK button, erasure will begin.
(This operation cannot be halted.)
Erasing CD-RW media
Since data is erased as necessary when you back up AW1600 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.
HINT
• The erased data cannot be recovered. Perform this operation with care.
