Finalizing A Cd-R Or Cd-Rw Disc - Sony RCD-W1 Operating Instructions (primary manual) Operating Instructions Manual

Finalizing a CD-R or CD-
RW disc
Finalizing completes the recording of a disc. It
enables you to play the disc on other players.
(The player must be CD-RW compatible. )
When a recording is finished, a CD-R or CD-
RW disc must be finalized. Once that is done, a
CD-R disc may not be changed or added to.
CD-RW discs are locked once they are
finalized, and must be unfinalized to permit
additional recording or erasure.
When using the remote, set SELECT to CDR
for operations on DECK B.
