FINALIZATION (TOC RECORDING)
• Finalization is the final process in recording a CD-R or CD-RW disc that is playable on standard CD players. (However,
CD-RW discs, whether finalized or not, can only be played back on a CD-RW disc player.)
• Once a disc is finalized, neither recording nor skip ID setting/clearing is possible on the disc; be very careful.
• Never cut the power supply during finalization, for this may lead to disc damage.
What is finalization?
1
Load a CD-R or CD-
RW disc which has
been recorded on.
For a disc loading, refer to
page 15.
• Ensure that there is no scratch, dust or
stain on the disc.
If the disc is dusty or stained, clean it by
referring to "Disc maintenance" on
page 9.
CAUTION:
• Once finalization is started, no operation button is accepted until the finalization completes.
• If a scratched, stained or dusty disc is subjected to finalization, the finalization may sometimes not complete.
In case finalization does not complete in about 10 minutes from the start, it can be forced to be aborted by pressing the stop
( ) button. But such a disc cannot be played on ordinary CD players.
• Never unplug the power cord during finalization.
If the power supply is interrupted due to power failure or by mistake during finalization, the remaining finalization resumes
as soon as the power supply is recovered. In this case "RESUME" is displayed until the finalization is completed. Note that
the disc finalization may not resume properly in some cases.
