This chapter explains how you can use the CD-RW drive to create an 
audio CD, and how to play back an audio CD.

On the AW16G, you can select one or more songs on the 
hard disk, and write the audio data from the stereo track 
of each song to a CD-R/RW disc in CD-DA format. The 
CD-R/RW media to which you write this data can be 
played by the CD-RW drive or a conventional CD player 
in the same way as any audio CD.

In order to create a CD, you must first register one or 
more songs in a “track list,” and then write the virtual 
track currently selected for the stereo track of each song 
(the “current track”) to the CD in the order specified by 
the track list.

A maximum of 99 tracks (areas on CD media to which 
audio data can be written individually) can be written to 
one volume of CD-R/RW media, and each track must be 
at least four seconds long. The maximum length of time 
that can be written is approximately 74 minutes for 
650 MB media, or approximately 80 minutes for 700 MB 
media.

The CD-RW drive of the AW16G can use two types of 
media: “CD-R” which lets you record and add data, and 
“CD-RW” which lets you erase previously-recorded data 
and rewrite it. Each type of media has the following char-
acteristics.

● CD-R

You can write data to this media, and add additional 
data later. You cannot erase and rewrite data that has 
already been written. Once you perform a process 
known as “finalizing the disc,” the audio data written 
to the CD-R can be played by the CD-RW drive or by 
most CD players.

● CD-RW

In addition to writing and adding data, this media lets 
you erase all recorded data and rewrite it. Audio data 
written to a CD-RW can be played back by the CD-
RW or by CD players that support CD-RW media.
