FINALIZATION
Recordings Chapter 3
Finalization completes the recording of a disc so that it can be played in other machines.
PRECAUTION
• Once a CD-R disc is finalized, the disc cannot be unfinalized.
• A CD-RW disc can be unfinalized.
• During the finalization process, never switch the power off, or the disc may be damaged.
• Once started, the finalization process cannot be aborted.
• Dust or scratches on a disc may prevent it from being finalized successfully.
• The finalization process time depends on the disc and number of tracks.
• During the finalization process the record deck will not accept any operating commands.
1 Load the CD-R/RW disc on the record tray.
2 Press FINALIZE on the front panel or remote control “FINAL” will begin flashing.
3 Within 3 seconds, press PLAY on the record deck. Alternatively, press CD REC and then PLAY
on the remote control “FINAL” and remaining time will flash.
• The finalization process will take between 60 and 90 seconds, depending on the length of material
recorded on the disc.
• During the finalization process the record deck will not accept any operating commands.
When the finalization process is complete “FINAL” will go out, and “CD” will light as an indication that
the disc is now playable on other players.
UNFINALIZATION
To keep the material that is already recorded on a CD-RW disc and to add an additional track and erase
an individual track, you must first unfinalize the disc.
1 Load the CD-RW disc on the record tray.
2 Press ERASE on the front panel or remote control repeatedly until “UN-” and “FINAL” will
flash.
3 Within 3 seconds, press PLAY on the record deck. Alternatively, press CD REC and then PLAY
on the remote control “UN-FIN” and remaining time will flash. When the unfinalization process is
complete, “UN-FIN” will go out, and “CD-RW” will light.
