FINALIZING/UNFINALIZING
Finalizing CD-R & CD-RW discs
Finalizing is necessary to:
- be able to play the recorded CD-R/RW disc on a CD player.
- avoid further unwanted recordings on a disc.
- avoid erasure of tracks on a CD-RW.
Note:
- A finalized CD-R disc can never be recorded onto again.
- A finalized CD-RW disc can be unfinalized for continued re-
cording.
- Finalizing is the process of writing the TOC (Table of Con-
tents) on a disc so that a CD player can recognize the con-
tents of the disc.
- The CD-Player drive is able to play back un-finalized CD-R
and CD-RW discs.
Auto finalizing
Auto finalizing is possible when using the record-
ing function.

mands.
Unfinalizing CD-RW discs
For CD-RW discs only.
If you want to make more recordings or erase unwanted tracks
on a finalized disc, you must unfinalize it first. The unfinalize
process erases the TOC (Table of Contents) from the disc.
