Erasing Tracks (Track Erase) - Sony CDR-W33 Operating Instructions Manual

Operations on the Disc's TOC Area
Erasing Tracks
(TRACK ERASE)
CD-RW
You can erase tracks recorded on CD-RW discs. If
erasing, you can erase (a specified number of tracks
from) the last track recorded. (For example, you cannot
erase only the 5th track on a disc on which 10 tracks
have been recorded in total.) To delete tracks from a
CD-RW that has been finalized, first unfinalize on the
disc to enable the erase function.
You cannot stop a track erase operation it has
started.
Do not turn OFF the power supply to the CD
recorder while tracks are being erased. The disc's
TOC information will be corrupted, and you will no
longer be able to use the disc.
