5 – 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 CD-RW750, i.e. their

TOC can be deleted, and if there is space, further

material can be recorded on them. Even if the disc is

full, tracks can be erased following the unfinalize

process, and new material can be recorded.

Finalizing

As has been explained earlier (“Finalizing” on

page 7), 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 CD-RW750 by the

NO TOC

indicator under the

disc type on the display being lit when the disc is

inserted.

To finalize a disc:

1 With the unfinalized (recordable) disc loaded,

and the unit in stop mode, press the

FINALIZE

key (

F or C).

The display shows

FINALIZE OK?.

2 To start the finalizing process, press the MULTI

JOG

control B or press the ENTER key 7.

3 If you do not want to proceed with the finaliz-

ing process, press any other key (such as the

STOP key).

4 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 (depending

on the disc and material, this value will be

between 50 seconds and 1 minute 30 seconds).

5 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 CD-RW750 may be

replayed on ordinary CD players, remember that final-

ized 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:

1 With the finalized disc loaded and the unit in

stop mode, press the

ERASE key (G or D).

2 If the display does not show the word

UNFINALIZE?, turn the MULTI JOG con-

trol

B or use the SKIP keys I until it is dis-

played.

3 To start the unfinalizing process, press the

MULTI JOG control B or press the ENTER key

4 If you do not want to proceed with the unfinal-

izing process, press any other key (such as the

STOP key).

5 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 (depending on the disc and mate-

rial, this value will be between 50 seconds and

1 minute 30 seconds).

6 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.

Even if a CD-RW disc has been finalized, selecting an

erase procedure will automatically unfinalize it prior to

erasure. The disc may then have to be re-finalized.

Remember that it is not possible to perform any erase

procedures on a CD-R disc.
