Operations on the disc’s TOC Area
5 “PMA Write?” will be displayed. Select
whether to record in the PMA area.
If you write to the PMA area, the setting
information will remain even if the disc is
removed from the CD recorder, and so remains
valid even if another disc is inserted. If not
writing to the PMA area, press the MENU/NO
button. The setting information will not be
written to the disc. In this case, the setting
information will be stored until the disc is
removed or the power is turned OFF.
z
You can play discs without the skip that has been set.
Turn OFF “Skip Play” in the menu. The skip setting will
be ignored, and all recorded tracks will be played.
z
Limits to the number of times you can write skip
information to the PMA area of a disc.
CD-R DISC:
The area to which skip information can be written on a
disc is limited. Consequently, write skip/unskip
information to the PMA area immediately before
removing the disc, and avoid writing the information an
unnecessary number of times. The number of times the
information can be written depends on the number of
tracks set at the time. The skip memory area in which
skip information is set, and the unskip memory area in
which previous skip settings are undone store 21 blocks
each. Each block can store a maximum of 6 tracks. For
example, recording a 7th skip track in one block will
result in a second block being used. The same is true for
the unskip operation. When all 21 blocks for both skip
and unskip have been used, you cannot make additional
settings.
CD-RW DISC:
There are no limits to the number of times you can write
to the PMA, but the maximum number of skip settings is
21 tracks.
Unfinalizing
CD-RW
You can restore CD-RW disc to the status they were
immediately before the disc was finalized. This
operation is called unfinalizing. You cannot add further
recordings or delete tracks from a finalized CD-RW
disc, but can do so by unfinalizing the disc.
You cannot cancel an unfinalize operation once it
has started.
Unfinalizing takes approximately 80 seconds from
start to finish. During this time, do not turn OFF the
power supply to the CD recorder. The disc’s TOC
information will be corrupted, and you will no
longer be able to use the disc.
Operating Procedure
This operation is valid only with finalized CD-RW
discs.
1 Press the ERASE button.
“Start?” and “ENTER/YES” will be displayed
alternately for verification. Press the MENU/NO
button to quit.
2 Press the AMS button or the YES button.
“Unfinalize” will flash. The countdown time
remaining until unfinalizing finishes will be
displayed. When the display stops flashing,
unfinalizing is complete.
z
Unfinalizing discs with disc name and track name
information.
The information is stored until the disc is removed or the
power supply is turned OFF, in the same state as after it
was entered. Consequently, you can edit the information
or add other tracks names.
