6-After recording
Finalizing
This section deals with the actions taken after record-
ing: nalizing for CD-R and CD-RW discs, and erase
operations for CD-RW discs.
Once nalized, CD-R discs are truly nal—no more can
be recorded on them. By contrast, CD-RW discs
can be “unnalized” using the CD-RW900, i.e. their
TOC can be deleted, and if there is space, further ma-
terial can be recorded on them. Even if the disc is full,
tracks can be erased following the unnalize process,
and new material can be recorded.
As has been explained earlier (“Finalizing” on page 7), in
order for a disc to become a standard CD, it must have
a Table of Contents (TOC) written to it. This process is
known as nalizing.
An unnalized disc can always be distinguished on the
CD-RW900 by the
TOC
indicator under the disc type on
the display being un-lit when the disc is inserted.
To nalize a disc:
1 Load the unnalized disc, and the unit in stop mode,
press the FINALIZE key.
The display shows
FINALIZE?
If you do not want to proceed with the nalizing
process, press the FINALIZE/INS key on the front
panel or the FINALIZE key on the remote control.
2 To start the nalizing process, push the MULTI JOG
dial or press the ENTER key on the remote control.
The display shows
Sure?
If you do not want to proceed with the nalizing pro-
cess, press the STOP key.
3 When nalization has been chosen, the display
shows the
TOC
ashing and the remaining time. The
unit starts counting down from a time shown on the
display.
4 When nalization has been nished successfully,
Complete
appears and the
TOC
will be lit on the
display.
NOTE
During the process of nalizing, any key operation is not
accepted.
