Erasing Data from a CD-RW
Disc (CD-RW Erase)
If you are using CD-RW discs, you will be able to erase
unneeded data from the discs and reuse them for data storage.
• This process results in all data being erased from a disc.
• Data erasure is possible only with CD-RW discs. Data
cannot be erased from CD-R discs.
1. Insert the CD-RW disc to be erased into the BR-
900CD’s CD-R/RW drive.
The drive’s access indicator will begin to flash. Wait until this
indicator stops flashing and turns off before proceeding.
2. Press [CD-R/RW].
The CD menu screen will appear.

Press [EXIT] (NO) to cancel deletion.
The data erasure will begin and the state of progress will
be displayed. When the message “Completed!” appears,
it indicates that erasing has been completed.
5. Press [EXIT] several times to return to the Play screen.
6. Press the CD-R/RW drive’s EJECT button to eject the disc.
• Once erasing has been started, it will not be possible to
cancel this process.
• The amount of time required for erasing data will
depend on the type of CD-RW disc used and the volume
of data that it contains.
• In certain cases, a period of several seconds will pass
before the disc is actually ejected.
