1 - Introduction-Power saving Power saving The CD-RW4U provides a function that allows automatic switching into standby mode after five minutes of inactivity (defined as no front panel or remote control unit control used, no commands received through the USB connection, and no disc playback or recording). To set this mode: 1 Press the MENU key (E or 7) until the dis- play shows: PWR SAVE>xxx, where xxx can be ON or OFF. Finalizing Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or CD-RW disc, a standard CD player will not be able to read the data (i.e. play back the audio) until a final table of contents (TOC) has been written at the start of the disc. The process of writing this table of contents is known as "finalizing". Once this has been done, no further data can be written to the disc. See "Finalizing discs" on page 27 for details. 2 Turn the MULTI DIAL (main unit) B or press the SKIP (remote control) I keys to change the value. 3 Press the MULTI DIAL (main unit) B or press the ENTER key (remote control unit) 8 to return to the previous display. When power saving is set on, every minute that the CD-RW4U is left on with no activity, the CD-RW4U shows a "countdown" message for a few seconds, In the case of a CD-RW disc which has been finalized, the whole of the disc may be erased, or the disc may be "refreshed", and the disc re-used. In addition, a CD-RW disc that has been finalized may be "unfinalized", i.e. the TOC is removed. This allows further tracks to be recorded to the disc, provided that there is space on the disc. 12 TASCAM CD-RW4U
