6 Finalizing and Erasing COMPACT DISC RECORDER / MULTI-CD CHANGER ◊ÛB¿ˆ≤≥ 3 - COMPACT DISC MULTI CHANGER COMPACT DISC DIGITAL RECORDER FINALISE OPEN/CLOSE 0 6 7 CD TEXT Hi-bitLegatoLinkConversion Finalizing a disc Before you can play a CD-R on an ordinary CD player, the disc must go through a process called finalization. Once finalized, a CD-R disc is no longer recordable. Finalization is not reversible for CD-Rs so be absolutely sure that everything on the disc is the way you want it before you start. CD-RW discs can also be finalized, although you can still erase the disc afterward and reuse it, so it's not anything like as final as it is with a CD-R disc. A finalized CD-RW disc can only be played on a CD player that is compatible with CD-RW discs (at present, there are very few of these). Caution! Finalization takes a few minutes. During this time never switch off the power to the unit - the disc may be damaged as a result. 3 Press 6 (CD-R side) to start finalization. Finalization takes about 2 minutes; you'll see how long there is still to go in the display. After finalization is complete: If a CD-R is loaded, the CD-R indicator changes to CD. If a CD-RW is loaded, the finalize indicator lights in the display. • None of the controls on the player or the remote have any effect during finalization. If, however, the recorder hasn't managed to finalize the disc within 10 minutes, you can abort the operation by pressing 7. If you do this, the disc won't be playable on an ordinary CD player. 1 Load the CD-R or CD-RW you want to finalize. • Check that the disc is free from dust, dirt and scratches-if necessary, clean the disc following the guidelines on page 43. 2 Press FINALIZE. The recorder goes into record-pause mode, then the display changes to: TOC MIN SEC O1:56 REC • Press 7 (CD-R side) here to cancel finalization. 30
