Finalizing is a simple procedure that is necessary in order to
play the discs on a regular (non-recording) CD player.
Note: Finalizing prevents any further recording on a CD-R. A
finalized CD-RW must be unfinalized to allow further
recording or erasure of tracks.
1 Make sure the disc is absolutely free of scratches and dust
particles.
2 With the recorder stopped press FINALIZE and then within
3 seconds press RECORD.
➜ The approximate finalization time will appear in the
display.

For CD-R

on the
display. For CD-RW no change will be seen on the

Finalizing will last at least 2 minutes.
Note: During finalization, the CD recorder will not accept
operating commands.
For CD-RW discs only.
If you want to make more recordings (or to erase tracks) on a
finalized disc you must unfinalize it first. The Table of
Contents (TOC) on the disc will be removed.
To unfinalize:
1 Press ERASE twice.
➜ On the display, TOC and

2 Press RECORD within 3 seconds.
➜ TOC and

Note: This will take approximately 1 minute.
