How To Open/Close The Turntable Cover - Teac GF GF-450K7 Owner's Manual

About CD-R and CD-RW discs
CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they have been
used for recording, they cannot be erased or re-recorded.
However, if space is available on the disc (and the disc has not
been finalized), additional material can be recorded.
By contrast, a CD-RW disc can be used in much the same way as
a CD-R disc, but the last track or tracks recorded can be erased,
and the space on the disc can be re- used for other recordings.
However, you should note that an audio CD created using a
CD-RW disc may not play back satisfactorily on every audio CD
player.
CD-R, by contrast, may be played satisfactorily on the majority of
audio CD players.
Finalizing
Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or CD-RW disc, a
standard CD player will not be able to play back the audio until a
final table of contents (TOC) has been written at the start of the
disc.
The process of writing this table of contents is known as
"finalizing". Once this has been done, no further data can be
written to the disk.
Note that a CD-RW disc that has been finalized can be
"unfinalized". This allows further tracks to be recorded to the disc,
provided that there is space on the disc.
< Repeat, shuffle and programmed playback don't work with
unfinalized (NO TOC) discs.
Recordable discs
In this manual, we use the term "recordable" disc to describe a
CD-R or CD-RW disc that has not been finalized, and has enough
space to record.
