CD-R/CD-RW Disc Operations

Warning: Make sure that the power is not accidentally turned off while the finalize, un-finalize, or
disc/track erase operations are being executed. If this occurs, the data on the disc will be corrupted,
and it is also possible that the disc itself will become unusable.
This section explains various operations that you can perform on a CD-R/CD-RW disc, such as
finalizing a recorded CD-R/CD-RW disc so that it can be played on a conventional CD player, or
erasing all or part of the tracks on a CD-RW disc.
Finalizing
Finalizing is the operation of writing the TOC (Table Of Contents, information about the recorded
data such as the number of songs and the playback start time of each song) to the CD-R/CD-RW
media.
A disc recorded on the DN-300CR cannot be played back on a conventional CD player until the final
TOC has been written to the disc. The DN-300CR itself will be able to play the disc even before it has
been finalized.
Normally, no additional recording can be done on CD-R/CD-RW media once it has been finalized.
However, in the case of a CD-RW, you can "un-finalize" the disc so that additional recording can be
performed.
1. Insert a recorded CD-R/CD-RW disc into the disc slot.
2. While stopped, press the Finalize button on the front panel or the remote control. The display
will indicate "FINALIZE".
If you decide to cancel the operation, press the Finalize button once again.
3. Press the Enter button. The display will indicate "YES?"
If you decide to cancel the operation, press the Menu button.
4. To execute the operation, press the Enter button once again. The display will briefly show
"Loading" and then finalization will begin. The display will indicate "Finalizing" while in
progress.
When finalization is finished, the display will indicate "Loading" and then return to the main
screen. All operating buttons are disabled while finalization is being performed.
Un-finalizing
Un-finalizing is an operation that allows further recording on a CD-RW disc that has been finalized.
1. Insert a recorded CD-RW disc into the disc slot.
2. While stopped, press the Erase button on the front panel or the remote control and use the Jog
Wheel (or Skip buttons on the remote control) to select "UNFINALIZE".
If you decide to cancel the operation, press the Erase button once again.
3. Press the Enter button. The display will indicate "YES?"
If you decide to cancel the operation, press the Menu button.
4. To execute the operation, press the Enter button once again. The display will briefly show
"Loading" and then un-finalization will begin. The display will indicate "Unfinalizing" while in
progress.
When un-finalization is finished, the display will indicate "Loading" and then return to the main
screen.
