TASCAM CD-RW4U
Power saving
The CD-RW4U provides a function that allows auto-
matic switching into standby mode after five minutes
of inactivity (defined as no front panel or remote con-
trol unit control used, no commands received through
the USB connection, and no disc playback or record-
ing).
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 .
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,
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.
In the case of a CD-RW disc which has been final-
ized, 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, pro-
vided that there is space on the disc.
