Question about Teac GF-350 CD Shelf System

Teac GF-350 CD Shelf System

When we try to burn a cassette onto a CD it will not finalize. We have already sent one machine back because if wouldn't finalize. It will play on the Teac GF-350 unit but we can not play the CD on any other CD player. We bought a TEAC Cassette player to go with the Teac GF-350 CD shelf system. We bought the CD-R Music CD's to use to record on. Could it be that we have the wrong CD's. Please help with this because it is not much use to us as it is.

We bought the disc that have Music CD-R. Is this the same thing as CD-R digital audio. We are not able to play the disc on another CD player. Could this be because we have the wrong disc.

I will try to finalize it and write down what I see and get back to you.
Sheila Avery Aug 27, 2007

I checked to see what came up on the screen when I tried to finalize. It doesn't show fin--d nor does NO TOC and REC does not blink. I followed the directions exactly as it says. Could there be a step left out? I also checked the CD's and they are DIGITAL AUDIO CD-R.

The last bit of information about turning off the machine made it finalize. I am able to play it on other CD players. Thanks so much for your help. If I have other problems I will get back in touch with you.

Firstly double check that the recordable discs you have bear the label "Digital Audio" on them as per the attached picture. Secondly what happens when you go through the finialise procedure in the manual? Do you see the ?FIn--d? display when you select the finialise button? Do you see ?NO TOC? and ?REC? indicators blinking at the next step? Please update the question & let us know if the information given was useful to you - Good Luck!

Music CD-R should be the same as Digital Audio CD-R. They will not play on another player until they are finalized.

What happens when you try to finalize the disc?

Do you see the "FIn--d" display when you select the finalize button?
Do you see "NO TOC" and "REC" indicators blinking at the next step?

Please say exactly what you see when you try to finalize the disc.

Best regards,

When you play the disc what disc type indicator do you see? Does it say in the top of the screen "NO TOC CD-R:"? As in the picture below?
Greg Cann Aug 28, 2007

Thanks for the update, let's try a test!
I apologize if this reads exactly as the instructions but please give it a try.

First remove the disc you are trying to finalize and switch the unit off.

Power on and select the CD source.

Open the tray & load the disc but do not play it.

Make sure the CD is stopped & press the finalize button, i hope it will now display "FIn--d".

Press the Pay button.
?NO TOC? and ?REC? indicators should blink, and the remaining
time for the finalizing operation appears in the display.

When the operation has been finished, the NO TOC indicator should
turns off and the display returns to the track/time display.
During finalizing, no button works.
Never turn the power off nor unplug the power cord.

Please update the question & let us know if the information given was useful to you - Good Luck!

I think the "trick" is to unload the disc & then reload it. I have no idea why!

Please rate the problem as solved.

How can I record a music cassette to a music disc on my Magnavox DVD recorder/ VHS --Model # ZV427MG9

You can't burn a CD-A with the ZV427MG9. The unit will not burn to a CD to play in a CD player.

You may be able to record the audio to a DVD with no video source. Connect your cassette player to the Line In audio ports (L/R) at either the back or front of the unit. Depending on your cassette player, you may need a 3.5 mm M to RCA F/F adapter to connect the RCA audio cable to the cassette player's headphone jack. Do not connect a cable to the video input of the composite input unless you have a video on a camera or something to play back. This means that the recorded video may say "No Signal" or will be black or static. (Note: this may not work with this signal issue.)

Set the unit to record to DVD on L1 or L2, as needed, by pressing Source on your remote. Advance the cassette to where you want to record. Press Rec on the DVD unit and then press Play on your cassette player. If you want to identify tracks, Stop the recording and play back and then press Rec and Play again. You are at risk of having issues with the volume during the recording. Clipping of overly-loud sounds and distortion is possible.

When done, finalize the disc, if desired, to play the disc on other DVD players.

If you want to make an audio CD, you would be better off using a computer and connecting the cassette player to the Line In jack of the computer. You do have to make some adjustments to avoid recording the default Microphone input. Use a program like Audacity or any other audio editing program. Record the signal and divide it into tracks, if needed. Now you can filter out any distortion as well. Then save as a WAV file. Use a different program to burn the WAV files to a CD-A. (This must be burned as a mastered disc; my attempts that worked on an older CD player failed if there were gaps between the tracks. Lots of programs will do this; Roxio Creator is one option.)

The manual for the ZV427MG9 is available here: http://download.p4c.philips.com/files/z/zv427mg9_f7/zv427mg9_f7_dfu_aen.pdf .

I hope this helps.

Hi,
It sounds like you haven't followed the last step to the burning procedure. All you need to do once you've completed burning your disc is to Finalize the disc. Read below why you need to finalize as well as the steps to follow in order to finalize the disc.
Hope this helps ;)
How to Finalize Finalizing is writing the TOC (table of contents) on a disc so a CD player can recognize the number of tracks, the total time for each track, and their location on the disc. A recorded disc must be finalized to playback on a standard CD player. Once finalized a CD-R disc can be played on CD players that support CD-R playback. CD-RW discs can only be played on CD players that support CD-RW playback. Consult your CD player owner's manual to confirm supported formats. Finalizing is necessary to: • be able to play a recorded CD-R or CD-RW disc on a CD player • prevent further recording on a disc • avoid erasing tracks on a CD-RW disc • record text information onto a disc you record Notes: • A finalized CD-R disc can never be recorded onto again. • A finalized CD-RW disc can be unfinalized for more recording. • The CDR300 can play back unfinalized CD-R or CD-RW discs. • SYNC REC+FINAL mode automatically finalizes.
Here are the steps in order to Finalize your disk
1 Push Stop. The display shows the number of tracks and their total playing time. 2 Push FINALIZE. FINALIZE is displayed for about 3 seconds.

Just bought a used sony cfd-c1000. It will play most of my burned cd's but not one specific one: they are all on cd-r and I burned them all the same way with the same program, any ideas why it won't work?

My first two thoughts are: 1) It's a defective disc or 2) The disc wasn't finalized after it was burned. CD-R discs will not play on any machine other than the one that they were recorded on until they are finalized on that recorder. If it will play on the recorder and it has been finalized then just burn another copy of it. I have seen disc compatibility issues on one disc out of a stack of 100 before.

I have a sony CFD-S01 which will play commercial cd's but when a cd-r is inserted it either won't recognize the disk or it jumps constantly after appros 10 sec, any ideas?

The CFD-S01 is designed for use with CD-R and CD-RW discs. With that in mind a few things come to mind. Are the CD-R discs you are using music or data discs? There is a difference and some CD players do not get along with data discs and won't play them well if at all. Also the burn rate used can have an effect - too fast and it won't play well. If a disc doesn't play at all it might not be finalized. A disc must be finalized on the recorder it was burned on before it is playable on any other machine.
