Erase or Unfinalize a CD-RW
Erase procedures are possible only on an unfinalized CD-RW disc.
If a CD-RW disc has been finalized, unfinalize it prior to erasure.
Note that it is not possible to perform any erase or unfinalize 
procedures on a CD-R disc.
It is possible to erase the last recorded track. It is also possible to 
erase a whole disc.

press the FINALIZE/ERASE button again, “ErASE” and the last track 
number will appear.
