Erasing Discs (CD-RW only)
CD-RW discs can be erased using the three Erasure functions: Last Track Erase, Disk 
Erase, and Initialize Erase. Last Track Erase erases the control data of last recorded track 
on unfinalized discs. Tracks can be erased one at a time by repeating the Track Erase 
function. Disk Erase erases the control data of all tracks quickly, so the entire disc can 
be used again. Initialize erases not only the control data of all tracks but the entire pro-
gram area too. Initialize Erase is recommended for discs that were previously used to 
store data tracks.
1
From stop, press the [ERASE] button.
Erase Standby mode is engaged, “ERASE xxxx” flashes on the display (“xxxx” being the 
selected Erase function), and the REC indicators flash.
If the next step is not performed within four seconds, Erase Standby mode is cancelled.
2
Use the [PREV] and [NEXT] button to select an Erasure function.
The selected mode appears on the display.
You can cancel Erase Standby mode by pressing the [STOP] button.
3
Press the [PLAY] button to start erasure.
Erasure starts, “ERASING” appears on the display, the REC indicators light up contin-
uously, and the PLAY indicators flash.
The time remaining to complete the erasure process counts down on the display in 
minutes and seconds. No other CDR1000 functions can be used while erasure is in 
progress. With discs that support recording at 4x normal speed, erasure takes place at 
4x normal speed.
When the erasure process is finished, the REC and PLAY indicators go out and “ERAS-
ING” disappears from the display.
If an error message appears when using the Initialize erase function, run the function 
again.
Auto Unfinalize allows you to record additional tracks to finalized CD-RW discs. When 
a finalized CD-RW disc is loaded, and a new track is selected for recording in the nor-
mal way, the disc is unfinalized automatically and recording carried out as normal. It 
takes about one minute to unfinalize a disc, during which time “WAIT” appears on the 
display.
