6 Finalizing and Erasing
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. Various erase
options are available depending on whether or not the disc has
been finalized.
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— the disc may
be damaged as a result.
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.
When a non-finalized disc is loaded:
1 Press ERASE.
2 Use the jog dial (or press 41 or
¡¢) to change the erase option.
Switch between:
• Erase just the last track
ERASE LAST ?
CD-RW
• Erase all tracks
ERASE ALL ?
CD-RW
• Erase multiple tracks (erase from track ... to track ... )
ERASE O2–1O ?
CD-RW
Keep pressing 41 (or ¡¢) to change the
‘erase from’ track—the ‘erase to’ track is always the last
track.
• Press 7 or ERASE again to cancel erase here.
3 Press 6 (CD-R side).
4 Eject or finalize the disc.
You must eject, then re-insert the disc if you want to record
any new tracks. See Finalizing a disc on page 30 if you
have finished all the recording and editing that you want do
to.
