10 – CD functions (SS-CDR250N only)
On the CD page, CD-R/CD-RW discs can be finalized, CD-RW discs
can be unfinalized, tracks can be deleted, discs can be deleted
and discs can be refreshed (completely deleted).
In this chapter, we explain these CD-R/CD-RW disc management
functions.
In the following examples, we assume that a CD-R/CD-RW is
loaded and that CD is selected as the current medium.
NOTE
The CD menu can also be used to copy files between CDs and
USB flash drive/SD cards.
Finalizing CD-R/CD-RW discs
After you have recorded to a CD-R or CD-RW disc, you will need
to finalize the disc before the disc can be played back by a CD
player or CD drive other than this unit.
The operation of the unit differs depending on whether the for-
mat is data CD (MP3) or audio CD (CD-DA).
When recording with data CD format
The unit will automatically finalize the CD-R/CD-RW disc when
you eject it. As a result, additional recording will not be possible
to a disc recorded in data CD format after it is removed from the
unit once.
In addition, if you turn off the power without ejecting the CD-R/
CD-RW disc, the unit will automatically finalize the disc the next
time it is powered-on.
You can also use the menu to finalize the disc without ejecting
it. (See "Finalizing discs" below.) (See "Finalizing discs" on page
73.)
When recording with audio CD format
If you have recorded in audio CD format, the unit will not auto-
matically finalize the disc.
You will be able to make additional recordings on that disc (as
long as there is free space remaining on the disc) until you final-
ize the disc using the menu. However, the disc will not be play-
able on other devices until you finalize it. For details on how to
finalize, refer to the following section.
Finalizing discs
As explained above, CD-R/CD-RW discs that have been recorded
by this unit in audio format must be manually finalized to make
them playable on other devices. Moreover, although discs re-
corded in data CD format will be automatically finalized when
they are ejected, as explained above, they can also be manually
finalized while they are still loaded.
In either case, follow these procedures to finalize a disc.
1.
Press the MEDIA button to open the MEDIA SELECT screen,
and select CD. (See "Selecting media" on page 29.)
2.
Select the FINALIZE item on the CD page to open the FI-
NALIZE screen. (See "Menu operation procedures" on page
22.)
3.
Press the MULTI JOG dial.
This starts finalization.
When finalization completes, the CD menu will reopen.
NOTE
You can unfinalize a finalized CD-RW disc. (See "Unfinalizing
CD-RW discs" on page 73.)
Unfinalizing CD-RW discs
The ERASE item can be used to unfinalize a loaded audio CD for-
mat CD-RW disc that has been finalized.
NOTE
CD-R discs and data CD format CD-RW discs cannot be un-
finalized.
1.
Select the ERASE item on the CD page to open the ERASE
MODE screen. (See "Menu operation procedures" on page
22.)
2.
Turn the MULTI JOG dial to select the Unfinalize item.
3.
Press the MULTI JOG dial.
A confirmation pop-up message will appear.
4.
Press and hold the MULTI JOG dial to start unfinalization.
When unfinalization completes, the CD menu will reopen.
