Philips CDR775 S - Manual (Page 23)

During finalizing, the Table of Contents (TOC) is written to the
disc.
Finalizing is a simple procedure that is necessary in order to:
- be able to play recordings on a CD PLAYER,
- avoid further unwanted recordings on a disc,
- avoid erasure of tracks on a CDRW,
- write CD text on a CDR(W).
Auto finalizing
Auto finalizing is possible when using the MAKE CD
recording function.
Manual finalizing
1 Make sure the disc (in the CD recorder) is absolutely free of
scratches and dust particles.
2 With the recorder stopped, press FINALIZE.
➜ The display will show FINALIZE CD and PRESS
RECORD.
3 Press RECORD.
➜ XX XX FINAL and the approximate finalization time
is shown on the display.
The display counts down through the finalization.
Upon completion, the total number of tracks and the
total time recorded will appear on the display.
For CDR(W),
r changes to d on display.
Finalizing will take at least 2- 4 minutes.
Note:
- During finalization, the CD recorder will not accept
operating commands.
- When a CDR has been finalized, no more recordings can be
added.
For CDRW discs only.
If you want to make more recordings (or erasures of tracks) on a
finalized disc, you must unfinalize it first. The Table of Contents
(TOC) will be removed. (This is not possible for CDR discs.)
To unfinalize:
1 With the CD recorder stopped, press REC TYPE or ERASE.
➜ UNFINALIZE and PRESS ENTER will appear on
the display.
2 Press JOG (ENTER).
➜ The disc will now be unfinalized and can be recorded on
again and the recording or erasure mode is entered.
3 You can now start recording or erasing. If no further
recording or erasure is required, press STOP 9.
Note:
- Unfinalizing will take approximately 1 minute 30 seconds.
- When unfinalizing a CDRW disc with text available on it,
this text will be transferred to the CD recorder memory. The
text memory may be full. If so, the message
MEMORY
FULL/FINALIZE CD will be displayed.
To empty the recorder’s text memory, you will have to erase
text from it. This can be done in two ways:
1) Finalize one or more unfinalized discs for which CD text is
available.
2) Delete text of unfinalized discs with the ‘memory view’
option in the Menu mode.
