erased and may be reused.
Erasing a Single Track
The individual tracks on a CD-RW disc may be
erased one at a time, starting with the last
track on the disc, or you may erase more than
one track. Note that before individual tracks
may be erased the disc must be unfinalized. If
the disc is finalized, follow the instructions
above for unfinalizing before proceeding with
these steps.

Erase Button @. Note that the Time/Message
Display F will display 01 TRK and ERASE
will flash. Press the Next Button or
Previous Button until the number of

the middle of the disc may not be erased until
all of the tracks after them have been erased.
Important Note on Erasure and
Finalization Times: Regardless of the speed
at which a disc was recorded, the CDR 30 will
erase and finalize discs at the x4 speed to mini-
mize the length of the process. However, in
some cases, it may be necessary for the unit to
repeat the erasure or finalization due to the
nature of an individual disc. For that reason, it
is normal for the time required to complete
these steps to vary from one disc to another.
