Recording on CDR Erasing an Entire CD-RW disc Erasing the entire contents of a CD-RW disc is easy, and it does not matter whether the disc has been unfinalized or not. When using the remote, set SELECT to CDR for operations on DECK B. Notes • The TOC (red) indicator appears on the front panel display if the disc you put in the DECK B has not been finalized. Check the indicator each time before erasing the last track of a disc. • Once entire disc erasing process starts, you cannot stop the erasing 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 erasing process. ERASE ERASE 1 Press ERASE one time (for a finalized disc) or twice (for unfinalized disc) until "DISC ERASE" appears in the front panel display. The "DISC ERASE" indicator will begin to flash, and the PLAY, PAUSE, and REC indicators light up for about 8 seconds. Entire disc erasing enters in the standby mode. 2 Press PLAY while "DISC ERASE" is flashing. Entire disc erasing starts. During erasing, "DISC ERASE" appears in the front panel display and the remaining time for entire disc erasing appears in the display. When this process is finished, "0 0:00" appears in the display. 23
