Finalizing is a simple procedure that is necessary in order to
play the discs on a regular (non-recording) CD player.

Note: Finalizing prevents any further recording on a CD-R. A

finalized CD-RW must be unfinalized to allow further
recording or erasure of tracks.

1 Make sure the disc is absolutely free of scratches and dust

particles.

2 With the recorder stopped press FINALIZE and then within

3 seconds press RECORD.

➜ The approximate finalization time will appear in the

display.

For CD-R

CD RECORDABLE

on the

Finalizing will last at least 2 minutes.

Note: During finalization, the CD recorder will not accept

operating commands.

For CD-RW discs only.
If you want to make more recordings (or to erase tracks) on a
finalized disc you must unfinalize it first. The Table of
Contents (TOC) on the disc will be removed.

To unfinalize:
1 Press ERASE twice.

➜ On the display, TOC and

➜ TOC and

Note: This will take approximately 1 minute.
