3 You can now start recording or erasing. If no further
recording or erasure is required, press STOP 9.
Note:
- Unfinalizing will take approximately 1 minute 30 seconds.
- When unfinalizing a CDRW disc with text available on it,
this text will be transferred to the CD recorder memory. The
text memory may be full. If so, the message MEMORY
FULL/FINALIZE CD will be displayed.
To empty the recorder's text memory, you will have to erase
text from it. This can be done in two ways:
1) Finalize one or more unfinalized discs for which CD text is
available.
2) Delete text of unfinalized discs with the 'memory view'
option in the Menu mode.
