Unfinalizing a CD-RW
disc
A CD-RW disc is both recordable and
rewritable. However, the process of rewriting
or erasing is different from of cassette tapes.
Unfinalizing a CD-RW disc
A finalized CD-RW is neither recordable nor
rewritable. If you want to add new tracks or
erase single tracks, you must first unfinalize the
disc.
When using the remote, set SELECT to CDR
for operations on DECK B.
1 Press the ERASE button.
The “UNFINALIZE” indicator begins to
flash, and the PLAY, PAUSE, and REC
indicators light up for about 8 seconds.
Unfinalizing enters standby mode.
2 Press the PLAY button while the
“UNFINALIZE” indicator is flashing.
Unfinalizing starts. During unfinalizing,
“TOC ERASE” appears in the display and
the remaining time for unfinalizing appears
in the display. When the unfinalizing
process is finished, the total track number
and the total playing time appears in the
display and the TOC (red) indicator lights
up.
Notes
• The TOC (red) indicator appears on the front panel
display if the disc you put in DECK B has not been
finalized. Check the indicator each time before
finalizing.
• Once the unfinalizing process starts, you cannot stop
in the middle of the process.
• Do not turn off the recorder or disconnect the
recorder from the power source in the middle of the
unfinalizing process.
• An unfinalized disc can be played back only in
DECK B.
