Finalizing CD-R & CD-RW discs

Finalizing is necessary to:

be able to play the recorded CD-R/RW disc on a CD
PLAYER.

avoid further unwanted recordings on a disc.

avoid erasure of tracks on a CD-RW.

Notes:

- A finalized CD-R disc can never be recorded onto again.
- A finalized CD-RW disc can be unfinalized for continued re-

cording.

- Finalizing is the process of writing the TOC (Table of Con-

tents) on a disc so that a CD player can recognize the con-
tents of the disc.

ing function.

unfinalized discs, the

message will be displayed. In order to obtain memory space,
text on this disc or on the other discs must be erased or other
discs with stored text need to be finalized. See page 17 for more
