1 – Introduction
6 – After recording
This section deals with the actions taken after record-ing:
finalizing for CD-R and CD-RW discs, and erase opera-
tions 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-222SL

Finalizing

As has been explained earlier (see "Finalizing" on page 9),
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-222SL
II by the NO TOC indicator under the disc
MK
type on the display being lit when the disc is inserted.
CAUTION
Do not turn the power off during this operation. Not
only you may lose the recorded data, but also the disc
may be damaged and become un-usable.
To finalize a disc:
1 With the unfinalized (recordable) disc loaded, and
the unit in stop mode, press the

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
2 If the display does not show the word

until it is displayed.
3 To start the unfinalizing process, press the
control or press the
DIAL
If you do not want to proceed with the unfinalizing
process, press the
ERASE

Erasing

Unfinalizing (described above) is a special case of eras-
ing 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.
