audio) until a final table of contents (TOC) has been 
written at the start of the disc.
The process of writing this table of contents is known 
as “finalizing” and is performed automatically by the CD-D1x4. Once this has been done, no further data 
can be written to the disc. 
In the case of a CD-RW disc which has been final-
ized, the whole of the disc may be erased, and the 
disc re-used.
