Erase procedures are possible only on an unfinalized CD-RW disc.
If a CD-RW disc has been finalized, unfinalize it prior to erasure.
Note that it is not possible to perform any erase or unfinalize
procedures on a CD-R disc.
It is possible to erase the last recorded track. It is also possible to
erase a whole disc.
Press the CD button to select "CD".

number will appear.

to erase.
