Finalizing is writing the TOC (table of contents) on a disc so a CD player can recognize the number of tracks, the total time for each track, and their location on the disc. A recorded disc must be finalized to playback on a standard CD player. Once finalized a CD-R disc can be played on CD players that support CD-R playback. CD-RW discs can only be played on CD players that support CD-RW playback. Consult your CD player owner's manual to confirm supported formats. Finalizing is necessary to: � be able to play a recorded CD-R or CD-RW disc on a CD player including the PSD300 CD drive � prevent further recording on a disc � avoid erasing tracks on a CD-RW disc � record text information onto a disc you record
