6 – After recording
This section deals with the actions taken after record-ing:
finalizing for CD-R and CD-RW discs, and erase opera-
tions for CD-RW discs.
Once finalized, CD-R discs are truly final—no more can
be recorded on them. By contrast, CD-RW discs can be
“unfinalized” using the CC-222
MKIV, that is, their TOC
can be deleted, and if there is space, further material can
be recorded on them. Even if the disc is full, tracks can be
erased following the unfinalize process, and new material
can be recorded.
Finalizing
As has been explained earlier (see “Finalizing” on page 9),
in order for a disc to become a standard CD, it must have
a Table of Contents (TOC) written to it. This process is
known as finalizing.
An unfinalized disc can always be distinguished on the
CC-222
MKIV by the NO TOC indicator under the disc type
on the display being lit when the disc is inserted.
CAUTION
Do not turn the power off during this operation. Not
only you may lose the recorded data, but also the disc
may be damaged and become un-usable.

NOTE
Although CD-R discs finalized on the CC-222MKIV may
be replayed on ordinary CD players, remember that
finalized CD-RW discs may not play on CD players.
Unfinalizing CD-RW discs
If a CD-RW disc has been finalized, it is possible to erase
the Table of Contents in the following way:
1 Withthenalizeddiscloadedandtheunitinstop

Erasing
Unfinalizing (described above) is a special case of eras-
ing a disc. It is also possible to erase a track or tracks,
starting with the last-recorded track, a whole disc, or to
“refresh” a disc.
NOTE
Erase procedures are possible only on a CD-RW disc.
Even if a CD-RW disc has been finalized, selecting an
erase procedure will automatically unfinalize it prior
to erasure. The disc may then have to be re-finalized.
Remember that it is not possible to perform any erase
procedures on a CD-R disc.
