Philips 765 User Manual

Finalizing is a simple procedure that is necessary in order
to play back the discs on the CD Recorder/Player or on an
external CD player.

Note: Finalizing prevents any further recording on a CD-R.

A finalized CD-RW must be unfinalized to allow further
recording or erasure of tracks.

1 Make sure the disc (in the CD Recorder/Player) is

absolutely free of scratches and dust particles.

2 With the recorder stopped press FINALIZE and then within

3 seconds press RECORD.
