I recorded something on the CD, and it can not be read on my Mac or my CD player. I also need to delete some tracks from the CD but don't know how since it can't be read.....Please help.

The manual is here, Album delete on P.E33 should help unless you have a read only setting on there.

I can't speak to the hardware issues that might be at play here but I would advise you to retain the 'bad' recordings. I've copied unfinalized CD's from an old DVD player. It will read the CD but you won't be able to manuever around the tracks. As I recall, the track marks will still be there.

I don't know what you mean by 'maximum fidelity'. The CDR records at the CD standard of 44.1kHz. Digital is all ones and nones. Just data. If it is written correctly or with tolerable errors the ADC of the player (ANY player) turns it all into music.

On questions like this it would help if we knew the manual was or was not consulted.

And if it was NOT, why.

C14 / TOC Error The unit did not read the TOC information. Insert other discs.

[Extract]

"If you write data to a disc and leave the session open, the TOC -- which tells the CD player or CD-ROM drive where the tracks are -- is written into a separate area called the Program Memory Area, or PMA. CD recorders are the only devices that know to look at the PMA, which is why you can't see data in an open session on a standard playback device. CD players won't find any audio tracks, and CD-ROM drives won't see a data track. When the session is finalized, the TOC is written in the lead-in area, enabling other devices to recognize the disc.
(Something to try: write an audio track to a blank CD, and leave the session open. Put the disc in a CD player. Some players will deny the existence of the disc, some will spin the disc up to an incredible speed and won't even brake the spindle when you eject the disc, others will perform equally random acts. The TOC is important!)"

If you 'recorded' it on a CD music recorder it needs to be finalized first. CD-R's are Write Once Read Many. You can't delete from them after the fact. Refer to the manual for the creating machine.

When you insert the disc what does the recorder display after it examines it (Reading TOC)? - CDR, TOC, CDR-W, NO TOC?

It should know the disc is not finalized and let you either record more on it or finalize it.

If not, and you need to recover the 4 tracks try loading the disc on a DVD player. My old Pioneer will read unfinalized CDR-A's so I can digitally copy what's on them back to another CDR-A.

Have you thought the posibillity that the track is too short so there is plenty of remaing "time"to write to the disk? Try putting some more tracks in the recording line. Don't forget that the mean time for recording on audio cd is about 74 minutes (or 99 tracks, whatever comes first).

Try this and in case of a problem or clarification, don't hesitate to post.

Thanks and regards

download a freeware program called "audacity" and use that to cut toe audio file up into seperate tracks.

Hi hows it going,all the information you need is on page 22 of your owners manual,there are a number of different ways of doing it,read page 22 and all will be revealed,

I 'm not sure I am on your wave length here Minidisc- if it is a commercial recording - you cannot delete tracks If it is a burned recording on a CD-R you cannot not delete tracks- well you can but you don't get the space back Look up the manufacturers web site and browse around for a manual download.
