characteristics or quality of the discs, they may not be
recorded normally by the CD recorder or discs recorded by
the CD recorder may not be played normally by another CD
player.
You cannot use the discs formatted to a format (packet write)
other than CD-DA.
If you want to use the disc in the CD recorder, make it blank
in the personal computer system before use.

Handling Discs

You can record on CD-R disc only once. Tracks
recorded on CD-R disc cannot be erased.
Recordings on CD-RW disc can be erased and used
again.

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.
