NOTE

You cannot erase any track other than the last track directly.
For example, if you want to erase the 11th track on a 12-track CD-
RW, you have to erase the last (12th) track first, and then erase
the target (11th) track.
You cannot erase the 11th track without erasing the 12th track.

UNFINALIZATION

Unfinalization is the process of erasing a Table Of Contents (TOC)
on a CD-RW and is applicable only to a finalized CD-RW.
Unlike all tracks erasing or last track erasing, unfinalization does
not erase any tracks on a CD-RW. The tracks will be kept intact.
This process enables a CD-RW to be recorded on again if there is
enough recordable space.
Unfinalized CD-RW discs, however, cannot be played on the CD
player of this unit or any other conventional CD players.
To do so, finalize the CD-RW.

NOTE

Never turn the unit off by pressing POWER or disconnecting the

AC cord during the unfinalizing process.
If the unit is turned off even by accident or power failure damages
the disc and it may no longer be restored.

• A CD-R cannot be unfinalized.
• Do not unfinalize the CD-RW which was finalized on other

equipment. Doing so may cause the unfinalizing process to be
unsuccessful.

• During the unfinalizing process, all the buttons (except POWER)

are inoperative.

• Dust or scratches on a disc may prevent it from being successfully

unfinalized.
