FINALIZING
As has been explained earlier, in order for a disc
to become a standard CD, it must have a Table
of Contents (TOC) written to it. is process is
known as finalizing.
1. Press the FINALIZE button in the stop
mode.
“FiN-d” appears on the display.
• To cancel the nalizing process, press the STOP
button.
2. Press the PLAY button to start finalizing
e display will show “Busy” during finalize, wait until the busy
disappear to complete finalizing the CD recording. e time to
finalize is subject to the contents recorded and may take a few
minutes in some cases.
When the operation has been finished, the NO TOC indicator turns off and the display
returns to the track/time display.
During finalizing, no buttons will work.
Never turn the power off nor unplug the power cord while finalizing.
• Although nalized CD-R discs may be played on ordinary CD players, remember that
finalized CD-RW discs may not play on ordinary CD players.
Erase or Un-finalize a CD-RW
It is possible to erase the last recorded track and it is also possible to erase a whole disc.
Erase procedures are possible only on an un-finalized CD-RW disc. If a CD-RW disc has
been finalized, the disc must be un-finalized prior to being erased. Remember that it is not
possible to perform any erase nor un-finalize procedures on a CD-R disc.
