Finalizing A Disc - Pioneer PDRF10 Bedienungsanleitung

Finalizing a Disc

Before you can play a CD-R on an ordinary
CD player, the disc must be finalized. Once
finalized, a CD-R disc is no longer recordable,
nor will you be able to set or clear skip IDs
(see pages 28–29 for more on these).
Finalization is not reversible for CD-Rs so be
absolutely sure that everything on the disc is
the way you want it before you start.
CD-RW discs can also be finalized, although
you can still erase the disc afterward and
reuse it, so it's not anything like as final as it
is with a CD-R disc. Not all CD players can
play CD-RW discs even after finalization.
Caution!
Finalization takes a few minutes. During this
time never switch off the power to the unit—
the disc may become unusable as a result.

want to finalize.

FINALIZE, then press SET.
4 Press SET to start finalization.
Finalization takes about four minutes; you'll
see how long there is still to go in the display.
After finalization is complete:
• If a CD-R is loaded, the CD-R indicator
changes to CD.
• If a CD-RW is loaded, the
indicator lights in the display.
• None of the controls on the player or the
remote have any effect during finalization.
If, however, the recorder hasn't managed
to finalize the disc within 10 minutes, you
can abort the operation by pressing 7. If
you do this, the disc won't be playable on
an ordinary CD player.
