Note: The “Min” indication only shows the duration of
songs you have selected in this session. It ignores the dura-
tion of songs you added to the CD during a previous ses-
sion without finalizing it.
(8) If necessary, use the following display buttons to
modify the contents of the list:
(9) When your song is complete, press the
[CD¥BURN]
display button.
The following popup appears:
(10) Press the
[YES]
display button to confirm your
intention to burn the selected songs to a CD.
Press the
[NO]
display button instead if you want to
check the list once again before proceeding.
If you pressed the
[YES]
display button, a “Working”
message appears to signal that the data are being
written to the CD-R/RW.
Your recording is written to the CD. Next, the follow-
ing question is displayed:
“Finalization” is the process of writing final informa-
tion (the number of songs, the song numbers, the
playback times, etc.) to a CD-R/RW. When you final-
ize a CD-R/RW, that disc will be playable as a music
CD in another CD player.
Note: After finalization, it will no longer be possible to
write additional material to that disc. Only finalize the disc
when you have completed your music CD and don’t need
to write or record any more data.
(11) Press the
[YES]
display button to finalize the CD-R/
RW.
A “Working” message appears to signal that the disc
is being finalized.
After a few minutes, the “Operation Complete” mes-
sage appears, your CD will be ejected and the display
returns to the main page. Your CD is now ready for
use on commercially available CD players.
Note: Press the
[NO]
display button if you want to add
more songs to that disc at a later stage.
Note: Though the JM-8 can playback unfinalized CD-Rs,
consumer CD players cannot.
Finalizing your CD at a later stage
CD-R/RWs do not need to be finalized after burning
some data onto them. While there is room, you can keep
adding audio data—provided you don’t finalize your
CD-R/RW until it contains everything you want.
To turn such a CD-R/RW into a “regular” audio CD, how-
ever, you must finalize it:
(1) Insert the unfinalized CD into the CD drive on the
right side panel.
(2) Press the [EXIT] button repeatedly until it stops
flashing to return to the main page (if necessary).
(3) Press
[MENU]
