Special Recording Edit Operations
Finalizing a disc marks the final process in recording on a CD-R or
CD-RW disc. In this process, a TOC (Table Of Contents) is written
to the disc. When this procedure is completed, it will be possible to
play the CD-R or CD-RW disc on CD players compatible with CD-
R and/or CD-RW discs.
Please note that once a CD-R disc has been finalized,
it is no longer possible to record to that disc.
If the power of the unit is turned off or the AC power cord
unplugged from the wall outlet during the finalizing process, the
recording may be lost and the disc may no longer be usable.
Even after a CD-RW disc has been finalized, further recording
and/or editing is possible if the TOC information on the disc is
erased using the Unfinalize function.
When an unfinalized CD-R or CD-RW disc is loaded in the
CDR and the OPEN/CLOSE 0 button is pressed to open the
CDR disc tray, “FINALIZE?” is shown in the information dis-
play. To skip the finalization process, press the OPEN/CLOSE
0 button one more time. The disc will be ejected in the unfinal-
ized state.

Press the FINALIZE button (main unit/remote
control).
•“FINALIZE?” is shown in the information display.
If you want to cancel the finalization process at this point, press
the CANCEL button (main unit/remote control).
2
Press the FINALIZE button again to start the
finalizing process.
The length of time that this process requires is about 2 minutes.
During the procedure, the length of the level meter is used to
indicate approximately how much time is remaining until final-
ization is complete.
The 3-CD changer of this unit is compatible with finalized CD-
RW discs, however, not all CD players can play back CD-RW
disc even after they have been finalized.
During the finalization process, it will not be possible to remove
or load discs in the 3-CD changer, nor is playback of CDs
loaded in the 3-CD changer possible.
Once a CD-R disc has been finalized, further recording on that disc
cannot be performed. However, if you erase the TOC (Table of
Contents) on a CD-RW disc, the disc can be recorded on again.
