Finalizing is a simple procedure, necessary to:
- be able to play recordings on a CD PLAYER,
- avoid further unwanted recordings on a disc,
- avoid erasure of tracks on a CDRW.

function.

scratches and dust particles.

Note: During finalisation, the CD recorder accepts no

operating commands.

a finalized disc you must unfinalize it first. The Table of
Contents (TOC) will be removed.
To unfinalize:

1 With the CD recorder stopped, press REC TYPE or ERASE.

➜

the display.

again.

- Unfinalizing will take approximately 2 minutes.
- When unfinalizing a CDRW disc with text on it available,

this text will be transferred to the CD recorder memory. It
may occur that the text memory is full. The message
MEMORY FULL/FINALIZE CD will be displayed. You
will now have to erase text, stored for other discs, or
finalize another disc in order to obtain memory space.
