Finalizing a CD-R or CD-
RW
Finalizing completes the recording of a disc. It
enables you to play the disc on other players.
(The player must be CD-RW compatible. )
When a recording is finished, a CD-R or CD-
RW must be finalized. Once that is done, a CD-
R may not be added or erased to. CD-RWs are
locked once they are finalized, and must be
unfinalized to permit additional recording or
erasure.
When using the remote, set SELECT to CDR.

Place a CD-R or CD-RW that has not
been finalized in DECK B.
Make sure that “TOC” appears in the
display. If a finalized CD is loaded, “TOC”
does not appear.

Press FINALIZE while the unit is
stopped.
Finalizing enters standby mode.

Press H (or YES).
Finalizing starts. During finalizing,

process is finished, the total track number
and total playing time appears in the display
and the TOC (red) indicator goes off.
