Finalizing Discs - Yamaha CDR1000 Owner's Manual

Finalizing Discs

The Finalization function reads the temporary table of contents stored in the PMA, and
writes the final TOC to disc, so that discs can be played on standard CD players.
Partially recorded consumer and professional CD-R discs can be played on other con-
sumer and professional CD-R recorders, but cannot be played on standard CD players
until they have been finalized. Once finalized, CD-R discs cannot be used for additional
recording and are fixed for life.
Partially recorded consumer and professional CD-RW discs can be played on other
consumer and professional CD-RW recorders, but cannot be played on CD-RW-com-
patible CD players until they have been finalized. Unlike CD-R discs, CD-RW discs can
be erased even after they've been finalized.
From stop, press the [FINALIZE] button.

CDR1000 functions can be used while Finalization is in progress.
When the finalization process is finished, the REC and PLAY indicators go out and
"FINALIZING" disappears from the display.
