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-RW901MKII, 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
Finalizing
As has been explained earlier ("About 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-RW901MKII by the TOC indicator under the disc type on
the display being un-lit when the disc is inserted.
To finalize a disc:
1. Load the unfinalized disc, and with the unit in stop
