unfinalizes the disc.

How to Finalize
Finalizing is writing the TOC (table of contents) on a
disc so a CD player can recognize the number of
tracks, the total time for each track, and their location
on the disc. A recorded disc must be finalized to
playback on a standard CD player. Once finalized a
CD-R disc can be played on CD players that support
CD-R playback. CD-RW discs can only be played on
CD players that support CD-RW playback. Consult
your CD player owner's manual to confirm supported
formats.
Finalizing is necessary to:
• be able to play a recorded CD-R or CD-RW disc on
a CD player including the PSD300 CD drive
• prevent further recording on a disc
• avoid erasing tracks on a CD-RW disc
• record text information onto a disc you record
Notes:
• A finalized CD-R disc can never be recorded onto
again.
• A finalized CD-RW disc can be unfinalized for more
recording.
• The PSD300 can play back unfinalized CD-R or
CD-RW discs in the CDR drive.
• Several recording modes automatically finalize:
COPY 2X+FINAL, and SYNC RECORD+FINAL.
