Finalization - JVC XL-R5000BK Instructions Manual

Finalization

Finalization marks the final process in recording on a CD-R or CD-
RW in which the TOC (Table Of Contents) is written to the disc.
When this procedure is completed, it will be possible to play CD-
R/CD-RW on CD players compatible with CD-R/CD-RW.
• Please note that once a CD-R has been finalized, no
more recording is possible on the disc.
• If the power of the unit is turned off or the power plug is pulled
from the wall outlet during the finalization process, the record-
ing may be lost and the disc may not be usable.
• Even after a CD-RW has been finalized, further recording and
editing is still possible if the TOC information on the disc is
erased using the UNFINALIZE function. (See page 30.)
• When an unfinalized CD-R or CD-RW is loaded in the CDR
and the EJECT 0 button is pressed to open the CDR disc tray,
"FINALIZE?" appears in the display window. When this is the
case, skip step 1 on this page.

RW, however, not all CD players can play back CD-RW even
after they have been finalized.
• During the finalization process, it will not be possible to remove

loaded in the 3-CD changer possible.
