1 - Introduction  
The TASCAM CD-RW5000 allows you to make 
your own standard audio CDs, using cost-effective 
standard CD-R discs. CD-RW discs can also be used, 
allowing bad “takes” and tracks to be erased and 
re-recorded as well as allowing whole discs to be 
reused.
The CD-RW5000 permits tracks to be added one at a 
time, or together, until the disc is “finalized”, allow-
ing it to be replayed on audio CD players. 
NOTE  
Some models of CD player may not be able to

1.2 Finalizing 
Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or 
CD-RW disc, an audio CD player will not be able to 
read the data (i.e. play back the 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”. Once this has been done, no further 
data can be written to the disc. See 4.6, Finalizing 
discs for details.
In the case of a CD-RW disc which has been...

1.5 Use of CD-R and CD-RW discs 
The Compact Disc medium is a robust medium, and 
the discs can survive a good deal of physical abuse. 
However, there are precautions that you should take 
when handling CD-R and CD-RW discs which are 
different to those you should take when handling 
ordinary CDs.
Avoid touching the recording (non-label) side of a 
disc on which you will be recording. Recording on a 
disc requires a cleaner surface than playing back, and...
