Finalizing a CD-R/RW Disc

“Finalizing” a CD-R/RW to which audio data were written refers to the procedure of turning it into a finished audio CD. After a disc has been finalized, no more tracks can be added to it. When a CD-R disc has been finalized, it will be playable on an ordinary CD player. (A CD-RW will normally not be playable on an ordinary CD player, even if it has been finalized.)

1. Insert the disc to finalize into the CD-R/RW drive.

2. From the main screen, press the [AUDIO] key in the control section.

The audio CD menu appears.

3. Use the cursor left/right keys to bring up the indication “AUDIO CD FINALIZE” on the display.
