Recording on CDR Unfinalizing a CD-RW disc A CD-RW disc is both recordable and rewritable. However, the process of rewriting or erasing is different from of cassette tapes. Unfinalizing a CD-RW disc A finalized CD-RW is neither recordable nor rewritable. If you want to add new tracks or erase single tracks, you must first unfinalize the disc. When using the remote, set SELECT to CDR for operations on DECK B. 2 Press the PLAY button while the "UNFINALIZE" indicator is flashing. Unfinalizing starts. During unfinalizing, "TOC ERASE" appears in the display and the remaining time for unfinalizing appears in the display. When the unfinalizing process is finished, the total track number and the total playing time appears in the display and the TOC (red) indicator lights off. Notes • The TOC (red) indicator appears on the front panel display if the disc you put in DECK B has not been finalized. Check the indicator each time before finalizing a disc. • Once the unfinalizing process starts, you cannot stop in the middle of the process. • Do not turn off the recorder or disconnect the recorder from the power source in the middle of the unfinalizing process.
