TASCAM DV-RA1000HD
CD-RW discs can be erased and reused using the erase
function available from the VFP.
To erase a disc, press the on-screen ERASE switch in
the Virtual Front Panel (see “The virtual front panel
(VFP)” on page 23) to select either a full erase of the
disc (
Full Erase ) or a faster erase ( Fast
Erase
) process and bring up a pop-up message.
Press ENTER to erase the disc, or CANCEL to return to
the VFP.
NOTE
The Fast Erase process removes only the TOC, but
not the entire data.
Erasing discs (CD-RW)
This is the opposite of finalizing—removing the TOC
to allow more tracks to be added (subject to the space
available on the disc).
This is only possible with CD-RW discs, of course.
To unfinalize a disc, press the on-screen UNFINAL switch
in the Virtual Front Panel (see “The virtual front panel
(VFP)” on page 23) to bring up a pop-up message.
Press ENTER to unfinalize the disc, or CANCEL to
return to the VFP.
The screen shows an appropriate message while the
disc is being unfinalized (about a minute).
NOTE
This function may also be accessed through the
dedicated
UNFINALIZE key on the RC-RA1000.
Unfinalizing discs
When recording has taken place on a CD-R or CD-RW
disc, the TOC must be written to allow the disc to be
played on ordinary CD players.
Press the on-screen FINALIZE switch in the Virtual Front
Panel (see “The virtual front panel (VFP)” on page 23)
to bring up a pop-up message.
Press ENTER to finalize the disc, or CANCEL to return
to the VFP.
The screen shows an appropriate message while final-
ization is taking place (about a minute). No cancellation
is possible until the finalization is complete.
NOTE
This function may also be accessed through the
dedicated
FINALIZE key on the RC-RA1000.
