Finalization of CD-R discs for playback on standard CD players

Although a partially recorded CD-R disc can be played on this unit, it cannot be played on a standard CD player until it has undergone a process known as “finalization”. In the finalization process, the Table of Contents (TOC) is written onto the disc and further recording is not possible. However, this process makes it possible to play a CD-R disc on a standard CD player.

Some CD players may not play back the finalized CD-R discs properly due to differences in the playback system of different manufacturers.

See page 20 for more information on finalization.

Playback of CD-RW discs

Please note that even after a CD-RW disc has been finalized, it still cannot be played on a standard CD player. CD-RW discs can only be played back on CD-RW compatible players such as this unit.

Additionally, CD-RW discs can be erased even after finalization has been performed, and recorded onto again. See pages 21 and 22 for more information on erasing recordings.

Playback on DVD players

Before playing back a finalized CD-R or CD-RW discs on a DVD player, please check whether the DVD player is compatible with CD-R or CD-RW discs or not. Refer to the owner's manual of the DVD player for more information. If the DVD player is not compatible with CD-R or CD-RW discs, do not attempt to play them on the DVD player.

Regarding erasure or loss of data

Yamaha and suppliers accept no liability for the loss of data or any problems caused as a result. As a precaution, it is recommended that the discs are tested after they have been written to. Furthermore, under no circumstances does Yamaha and suppliers guarantee the reliability of the discs.
