Finalizing is a simple procedure, necessary to:
- be able to play recordings on a CD PLAYER,
- avoid further unwanted recordings on a disc,
- avoid erasure of tracks on a CDRW.
Auto finalizing
Auto finalizing is possible when using the MAKE CD recording
function.
Manual finalizing
1 Make sure the disc (in the CD recorder) is absolutely free of
scratches and dust particles.
2 With the recorder stopped press FINALIZE.
➜ The display shows FINALIZE and PRESS RECORD.
3 Press RECORD.
➜ XX XX FINAL and the approximate finalisation time
appears on the display.
The display counts down through the finalisation.
On completion, the total number of tracks and the total
time recorded appears on the display.
For CDR(W), CDR(W) changes to CD on display.
Finalizing will take at least 2 - 4 minutes.
Note: During finalisation, the CD recorder accepts no
operating commands.
For CDRW discs only.
If you want to make more recordings (or erasures of tracks) on
a finalized disc you must unfinalize it first. The Table of
Contents (TOC) will be removed.
To unfinalize:
1 With the CD recorder stopped, press REC TYPE or ERASE.
➜ UNFINALIZE and PRESS ENTER will appear on
the display.
2 Press ENTER.
➜ The disc will now be unfinalized and can be recorded on
again.
Note:
- Unfinalizing will take approximately 2 minutes.
- When unfinalizing a CDRW disc with text on it available,
this text will be transferred to the CD recorder memory. It
may occur that the text memory is full. The message
MEMORY FULL/FINALIZE CD will be displayed. You
will now have to erase text, stored for other discs, or
finalize another disc in order to obtain memory space.
