If you have burned a CD in the CD-2i but have found that the CD will not play in a CD player, the disc may need to be finalized. Finalization is the process of writing the final information (the number of songs, the song numbers, the playback times, etc.) to a CD-R/RW disc so that CD playing devices can identify the disc. When you “finalize” a CD-R/RW disc that was recorded or written by the CD-2i, that disc will be playable as a music CD in another CD player.
Finalize:
1. Insert the CD-R/RW disc that you want to finalize.
2. Press the EJECT button. A message will appear with "Finalize. Are You Sure?"
3. Press the ENTER button.
If you are not prompted to finalize the disc at this time, you may try the following:
1. Press CD under MODE.
2. With the un-finalized disk inserted, press EASY GUIDE.
3. CURSOR to "3". Write (SD->CD)" and press ENTER. "Finalize. Are You Sure?" will appear on the screen.
4. Press ENTER.
