6 – After recording

This section deals with the actions taken after record-
ing: finalizing for CD-R and CD-RW discs, and erase
operations for CD-RW discs.

Once finalized, CD-R discs are truly final—no more
can be recorded on them. By contrast, CD-RW discs

can be “unfinalized” using the CC-222MKII, that is,
their TOC can be deleted, and if there is space, fur-
ther material can be recorded on them. Even if the
disc is full, tracks can be erased following the unfi-
nalize process, and new material can be recorded.

Finalizing

As has been explained earlier (“Finalizing” on
page 8), in order for a disc to become a standard CD,
it must have a Table of Contents (TOC) written to it.
This process is known as finalizing.

An unfinalized disc can always be distinguished on
the CC-222MKII by the

NO TOC

indicator under the

disc type on the display being lit when the disc is
inserted.

To finalize a disc:

With the unfinalized (recordable) disc
loaded, and the unit in stop mode, press the

FINALIZE

key.

The display shows

Finalize OK?

To start the finalizing process, press the

MULTI DIAL

or press the

ENTER

key.

If you do not want to proceed with the final-
izing process, press any other key (such as
the

STOP

key).

If finalization has been chosen, the display
changes. The

NO TOC

indicator goes out, and

the word

TOC

and the

REC

indicator flash in

the display. The unit starts counting down
from a time shown on the display (about 1
minute 10 seconds).

After finalization, a

CD-RW NO TOC

changes to

CD-RW

and a

CD-R NO TOC

changes to a

NOTE

Although CD-R discs finalized on the CC-222MKII may
be replayed on ordinary CD players, remember that
finalized CD-RW discs may not play on CD players.

Unfinalizing CD-RW discs

If a CD-RW disc has been finalized, it is possible to
erase the Table of Contents in the following way:

With the finalized disc loaded and the unit in
stop mode, press the

ERASE

key so that the

display shows the word

Unfinalize?

To start the unfinalizing process, press the

MULTI DIAL

control or press the

ENTER

key.

If you do not want to proceed with the unfi-
nalizing process, press any other key (such as
the

STOP

key).

If unfinalization has been chosen, the

NO TOC

indicator starts flashing in the display, and
the word

ERASE

also starts flashing. The

unit starts counting down from a time shown
on the display (about 50 seconds).

After unfinalization, a

CD-RW

indicator

changes to a

CD-RW NO TOC

indicator.

Erasing

Unfinalizing (described above) is a special case of
erasing a disc. It is also possible to erase a track or
tracks, starting with the last-recorded track, a whole
disc, or to “refresh” a disc.

NOTE

Erase procedures are possible only on a CD-RW disc. If a
CD-RW disc has been finalized, it must first be unfinal-
ized. Remember that it is not possible to perform any
erase procedures on a CD-R disc.

Erasing tracks

It is possible to erase the last recorded track, the last
two recorded tracks, the last three recorded tracks,

etc. It is not, however, possible to erase tracks in the
“middle” of the disc.
