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 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 AW16G.
Tip!
Tip!
Since data is erased as necessary when you back up
AW16G 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
Note
The erased data cannot be recovered. Perform this opera-
tion with care.
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 Contents)
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.

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.
