6-After recording
This section deals with the actions taken after record-
ing: finalizing for CD-R and CD-RW discs, and erase
operations for CD-RW discs.
Once finalized, CD-R discs are truly final—no more can
be recorded on them. By contrast, CD-RW discs
Finalizing
As has been explained earlier ("Finalizing" on page 7), in
order for a disc to become a standard CD, it must have
a Table of Contents (TOC) written to it. This process is
known as finalizing.
An unfinalized disc can always be distinguished on the
CD-RW900 by the TOC indicator under the disc type on
the display being un-lit when the disc is inserted.
To finalize a disc:
1 Load the unfinalized disc, and the unit in stop mode,
press the FINALIZE key.
The display shows FINALIZE?
If you do not want to proceed with the finalizing
process, press the FINALIZE/INS key on the front
panel or the FINALIZE key on the remote control.
2 To start the finalizing process, push the MULTI JOG
dial or press the ENTER key on the remote control.
The display shows Sure?
Unfinalizing CD-RW discs
If a CD-RW disc has been finalized, it is possible to
erase the Table of Contents in the following way:
1 With the finalized disc loaded and the unit in stop
mode, press the ERASE/DEL key on the front panel
or the ERASE key on the remote control.
Rortate the MULTI JOG dial or press the SKIP keys
on the remote control to select UNFINALIZE?. Push
the MULTI JOG dial or press the ENTER key to
confirm.
If you do not want to proceed with the unfinalizing
process, press the ERASE/DEL key on the front
panel or the SKIP keys on the remote control.
2 The display shows Sure?
If you do not want to proceed with the unfinalizing
process, press the STOP key.

can be "unfinalized" using the CD-RW900, i.e. their
TOC can be deleted, and if there is space, further ma-
terial can be recorded on them. Even if the disc is full,
tracks can be erased following the unfinalize process,
and new material can be recorded.
If you do not want to proceed with the finalizing pro-
cess, press the STOP key.
3 When finalization has been chosen, the display
shows the TOC flashing and the remaining time. The
unit starts counting down from a time shown on the
display.

Complete appears and the TOC will be lit on the
display.
NOTE
During the process of finalizing, any key operation is not
accepted.
3 To start the unfinalizing process, press the MULTI
JOG dial or the ENTER key again.
When unfinalization has been chosen, the display
shows the Erase flashing and the remaining time.
The unit starts counting down from a time shown on
the display.

Complete appears on the display, yet the TOC will
go off.
