It is possible to erase the last recorded tracks. It is not, however,
possible to erase tracks in the "middle" of the disc.
It is also possible to erase a whole disc.
Erase procedures are possible only on an unfinallized CD-RW
disc. If a CD-RW disc has been finalized, unfinalize it prior to
erasure. Remember that it is not possible to perform any erase or
unfinalize procedures on a CD-R disc.

Press the ERASE button in the stop mode.
"UNFINALIZE" appears when a finalized disc is loaded.
"ERASE" and the last track number appear when the disc
hasn't been finalized. Each time the ERASE button is pressed,
the display changes as follows:
"ERASE" and the number of the last track recorded on the
disc
Select this to erase the last track on the disc.
If you want to erase two or more tracks at once, press the
MUSIC SKIP button repeatedly to select the first track number
to be erased. For example, if 12 tracks have been recorded on
the disc, "ERASE 10-12" means the last 3 tracks (No.10, 11
and 12) will be erased.
< This will not appear when only one track is recorded on the
disc.
ERASE DISC
Select this to erase all the tracks.
REFRESH
Select this to refresh the disc. It will take more than 40
minutes.
< If a CD-RW disc has been corrupted at any point (e.g. power
has been cut off in the middle of a finalize operation, etc.),
"REFRESH" might be effective to make the disc usable again.
This operation will destroy all data on the disc.
< To cancel the erasing or unfinalizing process, press the STOP
button (H).
3
Press the PLAY button (y ) to start erasing or
unfinalizing.
The remaining time for the operation appears in the display.
When the operation has been finished, the display returns to
the track/time display.
During erasing/unfinalizing, no buttons will work.
Never turn the power off nor unplug the power cord.
< This operation cannot be undone. If you are going to erase a
track or tracks, make sure that they are recordings that you
really want to erase.
