Finalizing A Disc - Sony MCS1 Operating Instructions Manual

Finalizing a disc

After data is written to a CD-R, the procedure of locking the remaining area
so that no more data can be written is called finalization. This enables most
other devices such as computers, CD-ROM drives, etc., to read the data on
the disc.
After it is finalized, no more data can be added to a CD-R, even if there is
still some free capacity.
Note
Even when a disc is finalized, some computers or CD-ROM drives may still not be able to
play the disc. If you experience problems, try reading the disc in another computer or CD-
ROM drive.
