Unfinalizing A Cd-Rw (Unfinalize) - Kenwood HM-982RW Instruction Manual

Unfinalizing a CD-RW (UNFINALIZE)

Unfinalization returns a finalized CD-RW to the status before finalization so that additional recording or rewriting
is possible. Unfinalization cannot be applied to the CD-R discs.
If a disc containing the recording of text data (disc and track titles, etc.) recorded with another CD recorder or
PC is unfinalized on this system, the text data will be erased from the disc and can never be restored again.
Select the "CDR" input. Be sure to put the CD recorder in stop mode.

If the power supply is interrupted by a power failure
or unplugging the power cord during unfinalization,
the data may be destroyed and become unplayable.
