Erasing a CD–RW Disc
Although more expensive than CD – R discs, the great advantage of CD – RW is that the discs can be erased and reused.
Various erase options are available depending on whether the disc has been finalized. If you want to perform an erase
operation on a finalized disc that is only available for non-finalized discs, you first have to do a
TOC erase. This returns a
finalized disc to a non-finalized state.
A third, special option, erases (re-initializes) the whole disc. This process takes quite a long time to complete and should be
used for recovering damaged discs, not for erasing tracks from a healthy disc.
CAUTION!
Never switch off the power during CD – RW erasing - your disc may become unusable. If there's a power failure or you
do accidently disconnect the power, the recorder will try and re-initialize the disc once power is restored. Unfortu-
nately, it may not be possible to complete the process successfully, and the disc may be damaged as a result.
If the message CHECK DISC appears any time during any erase process, hit eject, take out the disc, clean it, then try
the erase command again.
Be sure to remove the disc from the recorder before switching off the power, otherwise the erase operation will not
be completed.
When a non-finalized disc is loaded:
1
Press ERASE.
The display shows ERASE then LAST ? and the recorder function indicator
blinks to indicate erase standby mode.
❖ Press 7 (stop) to cancel last track erase here.
2
Use the jog dial or press
4 and ¢ on the re-
mote control to change the erase option.
Switch between:
LAST ? – erase just the last track
ALL ? – erase all tracks
02–[ LAST ] – erase track 2 and all subsequent tracks
03–[ LAST ] – erase track 3 and all subsequent tracks
Keep turning the jog dial or press 4 and ¢ on the remote control to
change the number of tracks to erase.
