Finalizing a disc
After data is written to a CD-R, the procedure of locking the remaining area
so that no more data can be written is called finalization. This enables most
other devices such as computers, CD-ROM drives, etc., to read the data on
the disc.
After it is finalized, no more data can be added to a CD-R, even if there is
still some free capacity.
Note
Even when a disc is finalized, some computers or CD-ROM drives may still not be able to
play the disc. If you experience problems, try reading the disc in another computer or CD-
ROM drive.
To finalize a CD-R, proceed as follows.
1
Hold down the POWER button for at least 2 seconds to turn
the MCS1 on.
2
Push and slide the OPEN lever to open the cover.
3
Insert the CD-R to finalize and close the cover.
The indication “VIDEO-OUT CD-R” appears in the display window.
