During finalizing the Table of Contents (TOC) is written to the
disc.

Finalizing is a simple procedure, necessary 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 deck) is absolutely

free of scratches and dust particles.

2 With the recorder stopped press FINALIZE.

➜ The display shows FINALIZE CD and PRESS

RECORD.

3 Press RECORDING-RECORD.

➜ XX XX FINAL and the approximate finalization time

appears on the display.
The display counts down through the finalization.
On completion, the total number of tracks and the total
time recorded appears on the display.
For CDR(W),

changes to

on display.

Finalizing will take at least 2 - 4 minutes.

Note:
- During finalization, the CD recorder accepts no operating

commands.

- When a CDR is finalized no more recordings can be added.

For CDRW discs only.
If you want to make more recordings (or erasure 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 RECORDING-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 on it available,

this text will be transferred to the CD recorder memory. It
may occur that the text memory is full. The message
MEMORY FULL/FINALIZE CD will be displayed.
To empty the recorders text memory you 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.
