Erasing a CD–RW Disc
Although more expensive than
CD
–
R
discs, the great advantage of
CD
–
RW
is that the discs can be erased and reused. There
are two basic erase options available: erase the last recorded track; and erase all tracks on a disc. If you haven’t yet finalized
a disc, you can choose either option. Once finalized, your only option is to erase all of the tracks on a disc.
A third, special option, erases (re-initializes) the whole disc. This process takes quite a long time to complete and should be
used for recovering damaged discs, not for erasing tracks from a healthy disc.
CAUTION!
Never switch off the power during
CD
–
RW
erasing - your disc may become unusable. If there's a power failure or you
do accidently disconnect the power during the track or disc, the recorder will try and re-initialize the disc once power
is restored. Unfortunately, it may not be possible to complete the process successfully, and the disc may be dam-
aged as a result. You can halt this (and any other) erase process by holding down the
7
(stop) button for 10 seconds
while the recorder is trying to recover the disc. The display shows the message
CHECK
DISC
to indicate that the disc
has not been successfully erased.
If the message
CHECK
DISC
appears any time during any erase process, hit eject, take out the disc, clean it, then try
the erase command again.
Be sure to remove the disc from the recorder before switching off the power, otherwise the erase operation will not
be completed.
