light on the front panel. If a play-only CD is inserted,
the indicator will not light.
(Example: CD-R disc)
Do not use malformed discs. Doing so may cause
damage to the CD recorder.

Finalizing

Finalizing is the process of writing a TOC (Table of
Contents, track time and other information) to a CD-R
or CD-RW disc. Before a disc is finalized, you can add
additional recordings, but after a disc is finalized,
further recording is disabled. Consequently, perform
finalizing after completing recordings to the disc.
CD-R Discs
Until a CD-R disc is finalized, it cannot be played on a
CD player. By finalizing, a CD-R disc can be played
on a CD player as well as on this CD recorder.
Unfinalized CD-R discs can be played on the CD
recorder regardless.
CD-RW Discs
By finalizing a CD-RW disc can be played on a CD-RW-
compatible CD player, but depending on the physical
specifications, a CD-RW disc cannot be played on a CD
player that is not CD-RW-compatible.
Unfinalized CD-RW discs can be played on the CD
recorder regarless.

When finalizing, you can add disc and track names using
