Finalization marks the final process in recording on a CD-R or CD-
RW in which the TOC (Table Of Contents) is written to the disc.
When this procedure is completed, it will be possible to play CD-
R/CD-RW on CD players compatible with CD-R/CD-RW.
•
Please note that once a CD-R has been finalized, no
more recording is possible on the disc.
•
If the power of the unit is turned off or the power plug is pulled
from the wall outlet during the finalization process, the record-
ing may be lost and the disc may not be usable.
•
Even after a CD-RW has been finalized, further recording and
editing is still possible if the TOC information on the disc is
erased using the UNFINALIZE function. (See page 30.)
•
When an unfinalized CD-R or CD-RW is loaded in the CDR
and the EJECT 0 button is pressed to open the CDR disc tray,
“FINALIZE?” appears in the display window. When this is the
case, skip step 1 on this page.

Press FINALIZE on the main unit (or press

•
The length of time that this process requires is about 2 minutes.
During the procedure, the length of the level meter is used to
indicate approximately how much time is remaining until final-
ization is complete.
•
The 3-CD changer of this unit is compatible with finalized CD-
RW, however, not all CD players can play back CD-RW even
after they have been finalized.
•
During the finalization process, it will not be possible to remove
or load discs in the 3-CD changer, nor is playback of CDs
loaded in the 3-CD changer possible.
