*1 OPC and PCA : When a disc which has not been finalized is loaded in the CD recorder, it perform test writing
in a specific area in the disc in order to calculate the optimum laser irradiation intensity and
time for the disc. This operation is referred to as the OPC (Optimum Power Control)
processing and the area in which test writing is performed is referred to as PCA (Power
Calibration Area).
*2 TOC
: Any CD-R/RW contains the recording of TOC (Table Of Contents) data in addition to audio
signals. The TOC contains the non-rewritable data among that on the tracks, playing time and
text data.
*3 PMA
: With a CD-R/RW which is not finalized, the TOC data is temporarily written in a specific area in
the disc. The area in which the temporary writing is performed is referred to as PMA (Program
Memory Area). Additional writing in the PMA is performed every time recording or Skip Play
registration is made on the disc.
*4 DAO

in order of lead-in, data then lead-out. With this format, additional recording of data (in the
unused area of disc) is not possible.

because the disc does not contain
the PCA*1 which is the area where
OPC*1 is applied.
÷ Additional recording is not available
because the disc does not contain
the PMA*3 which is the area for
temporarily writing the TOC data*2.
÷ The maximum number of skip regis-
