Recording and finalizing discs
Unlike other recording media, recordable CDs
have a number of distinct states, and what you
can do with a disc depends on the current state
of the disc. The figure below shows the three
states—blank, partially recorded, and finalized—
and summarizes what’s possible (✔) and
impossible (✘) in each.

* Once the CD-RW has been erased, it be-
comes recordable again and skip IDs can be
set and cleared.
** In general, current CD players cannot play CD-
RW discs. However, this situation will change
in the future.
The process of finalization fixes the contents of a
CD-R in place permanently by creating a Table of
Contents (TOC, for short) at the beginning of the
disc which tells other players exactly what's on
the disc and where to find it. See
Finalizing a
disc on page 26 for more details on finalization.
Keep in mind the following when using the remote
control unit:
• Make sure that there are no obstacles in
between the remote and the remote sensor on
the unit.
• Use within the operating range and angle, as
shown in the diagram below.
• Remote operation may become unreliable if
strong sunlight or fluorescent light is shining on
the unit’s remote sensor.
• Remote controllers for different devices can
interfere with each other. Avoid using remotes
for equipment located near this unit while using
the CDR-830.
• Replace the batteries when you notice a fall off in
the operating range of the remote.
