Finalizing CD-R/CD-RW discs (SS-CDR200 only) After you have recorded to a CD-R or CD-RW disc, you will need to finalize the disc before the disc can be played back by a CD player or CD drive other than this unit. The finalization procedures using this unit depend on whether the file format is MP3 or audio CD. With MP3 format recordings: The unit will automatically finalize the CD-R/CD-RW disc when you eject it. This means that once you remove a disc that was recorded in MP3 format, you will not be able to add recordings to that disc. In addition, if you turn off the power without ejecting the CD-R/CD-RW disc, the unit will automatically finalize the disc the next time it is powered-on. You can also use the menu to finalize the disc without ejecting it. (See "Finalizing discs" below.) With audio CD format recordings: If you have recorded in audio CD format, the unit will not automatically finalize the disc. You will be able to make additional recordings on that disc (as long as there is free space remaining on the disc) until you finalize the disc using the menu. However, the disc will not be playable on other devices until you finalize it. For details on how to finalize, refer to the following section. Finalizing discs As explained above, in order for a CD-R/CD-RW disc recorded by the unit in audio CD format to be playable on another device, that CD must be finalized manually. Moreover, although discs recorded in MP3 format will be finalized automatically when ejected, as described above, you can also finalize a disc manually without ejecting it. In either case, follow these procedures to finalize a disc. 1 Press the DEVICE button (or remote control DEVICE SELECT button) to open the DEVICE SELECT screen, and select CD.
