4 Getting started
2 Press FINALIZE.
The FINALIZE indicator lights.
After a short while you should see
a display something like this:
The display shows how long
finalization will take—the exact
time taken depends on the disc.
Press 7 here to cancel
finalization.
3 Press 8 8 8 8 8 (6 6 6 6 6 on the front
panel) to start finalization.
Finalization takes about two
minutes; you'll see how long there
is remaining in the display. The
player stops when finished.
For a CD-R, the CD-R indicator
now changes to simply CD.
For a CD-RW, the finalize
indicator lights in the display.
None of the controls on the
player or the remote have any
effect during finalization. If,
however, the recorder hasn't
managed to finalize the disc
within 10 minutes, you can abort
the operation by pressing
7. If
you do this, the disc won't be
playable on an ordinary CD player.
Finalizing a disc
Before you can play a CD-R on an
ordinary CD player, the disc must
go through a process called
finalization. Once finalized, a CD-R
disc is no longer recordable, nor
will you be able to set or clear
skip IDs. Finalization is not
reversible for CD-Rs so be
absolutely sure that everything on
the disc is the way you want it
before you start.
CD-RW discs can also be
finalized, although you can still
erase the disc afterwards and
reuse it, so it's not anything like
as final as it is with a CD-R disc.
A finalized CD-RW disc can only
be played on a CD player that is
compatible with CD-RW discs
(currently only recent players).
Caution!
Finalization takes a couple of
minutes. During this time never
switch off the power to the unit—
the disc may become unusable as
a result.
1 Load the CD-R or CD-RW
you want to finalize.
Check that the disc is free from
dust, dirt and scratches—if
necessary, clean the disc,
following the guidelines on page 7.
