NOTE
You can only unmount a CD from the
CD
and
CD
PLAYER
screens. In order to prevent the sound of the CD
drive being operated from occurring during recording, for
example, the power to the drive is disabled when in any
other mode besides CD mode (when the
CD
screen or one
of its submenus is open). For this reason, it is necessary
to put the unit into CD mode in order to load or eject a
CD. After a CD has been mounted (the
CD MOUNTING
pop-up has appeared) return to the
CD
or
CD PLAYER
screen to eject the CD.

this unit
This unit is compatible with 12-cm and 8-cm CD, CD-R,
CD-RW and CD-RW High Speed discs. CD-RW Ultra Speed

For the relationship between media types and CD
functions, see the “Media compatibility table” on page 76.
Writing to an already written CD-RW
With this unit, you do not need to erase a CD-RW
beforehand. You can use a previously written CD-RW by
erasing it at the beginning of the desired operation.
When creating an audio CD or backing up a song, the
following message will appear if you insert an already
written CD-RW disc.
CD BACKUP confirmation screen
Press the F3 (
YES
) button to erase the CD-RW disc and
continue with the intended procedure (backup in the
example above).
If you do not want to erase the CD-RW disc, press the F4
(
NO
) button. The disc tray will open slightly. Pull the tray
out and replace the disc with another one.

to an unfinalized CD-RW in audio CD format (a CD-RW
created using
MASTER WRITE
by selecting a single
stereo master track and setting
FINALIZE
to
OFF
), the
track will be added without showing the CD-RW erasure
warning, and it will not overwrite existing data on the
disc.
Loading and ejecting CDs
