  • Page 23: Selecting An Input

    Basic Operation Selecting an input The CDR-882 is equipped with five stereo audio inputs, in various formats. Only one may be active at any one time, and provides the real-time recording or monitor source. In the case of DualBurn Record Mode (see page 39), the selected input is the source for both drives.

  • Page 24: Monitoring

    (See page 18 for more information on simultaneous record and playback.) The diagram below is a simplified depiction of the CDR-882’s monitoring system. CDR-882 Monitoring system The operation of the monitoring system depends on the status of the two drives.

  • Page 25: Recording

    Basic Operation Recording In the CDR-882, CD recording may be carried out in either drive. To record a single CD from an external source, insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW into a drive, selecting that drive if necessary with the DRIVE SELECT button. Ensure that the input being used is that selected by I/P SELECT.

  • Page 26: Finalisation In Synchronised Recording

    It is also possible to replay an unfinalised CD-R or CD-RW disc in the CDR-882, even though such discs will not play in a standard CD player.

  • Page 27: Recording On Cd-Rws

    The CDR80HS 52x disc is particularly suited to the high-speed drives in the CDR-882. The CDR-882 is also able to play and record audio CDs with “encoded” formats such as Dolby Digital or DTS. No audio decoding for these formats is provided on replay, however the Dolby Digital or DTS bitstream is available in full at the digital outputs.

  • Page 28: Menu System

    Menu System The CDR-882 has been designed to enable most of its basic functions and features to be actioned from dedicated front panel controls, without recourse to the display-based menu system. However, numerous additional settings and features are available from the system’s submenus.

    Adjustment is available in 1 second increments from 1 to 10 seconds. The factory default setting is 4 seconds. See page 15 for more details about the CDR-882’s FADER function. Fade-out Time This parameter sets the fade-out time applied when the front- panel FADER button is used to fade the playback or record levels down to zero.

  • Page 31: Input Dither

    Menu System Input Dither The CDR-882 adds dither to some input signals to produce 16- bit samples suitable for recording onto a CD. Analogue inputs always have dither added to the 24-bit output from the A-D converters. If an AES/EBU or S/PDIF input signal has its channel status bits set to indicate a true 16-bit signal, dither will not be applied, and the Input Dither option will not be selectable.

    Also see note below. Note that it is not possible to select the Clock Source menu option while the recorder is in RECORD mode. CDR-882 User Manual Version 1.0 Display Submenu Two parameters of the LCD display itself are available for adjustment in the Display submenu.

    Cueing to a track start point with the AMS control is often insufficiently accurate, as a period of silence may be present on the disc before the programme material begins. The CDR-882’s Auto-Cue function can be used to cue more accurately; it effectively removes any period of silence that might be present at the start of the track.

  • Page 34: Fade-Out Time

    CDR-882 or on a workstation editor. The CDR-882 is able to replay discs which have been recorded sequentially in this way “seamlessly”, using the overlap period to fade from one drive to the other so the audio output is continuous.

  • Page 35: Auto Track Id Trigger

    The length of the interval (and hence the track length) is set in the Track Length menu option (see below). This setting may be useful if the CDR-882 is being used to record lengthy programme material without obvious breaks (such as a speech or conference).

  • Page 36: Digital Output Format

    IEC60958 (generally referred to as S/PDIF). The factory default setting is Consumer. It is important to appreciate that in the CDR-882 a bitstream conforming to either AES/EBU and S/PDIF standards is available simultaneously at all digital outputs, i.e., all three digital outputs carry the same format at all times.

    (tallies). The CDR-882 has a factory default pin assignment, full details of which can be found at page 49. This default assignment can be reinstated at any time with the first submenu option, Preset.

  • Page 38: General Submenu

    Timer The CDR-882 has a Timer function which, when enabled, causes the CDR-882 to enter PLAY mode when the power is applied. Thus, by leaving the (mechanically-latching) power switch ON, the CDR-882 can be used to start playing a pre-loaded disc (or discs) when external power is applied via a time-controlled switch of some description.

    CDR-822’s main and/or headphone outputs. See page 18. Dual Disc Modes and functions By virtue of its Dual Drive record capability, the CDR-882 supports a number of useful operating modes not found on single CD recorders, or indeed other dual-drive machines.

  • Page 41: Track Ids In Discspan Mode

    This is illustrated below. Track IDs are recorded on the two discs as shown, to allow the CDR-882 to synchronise the two discs on playback. Although the fade-in and fade-out times can be set as low as 1 second, the track length for the fade will never be less than 4 seconds to adhere to the Red Book standard.

  • Page 42: Playback In Discspan Mode

    Playback in DiscSpan Mode Discs which have been recorded on a CDR-882 in DiscSpan mode may be replayed on a CDR-882 without any gap in programme. The first disc in the sequence may be loaded into either drive, with the second in the other. Note that audio routing is set automatically to be correct for seamless playback;...

  • Page 43: Multi-Machine Operation

    Advanced Features & Operation Multi-Machine Operation The CDR-882’s recording capacity may be expanded by the connection of up to three further CDR-882 units. The operating system supports a number of Multi Machine modes to facilitate such an expansion. In such a system, one CDR-882 is designated the Master machine and the others are assigned Slave status.

  • Page 45: Program Play

    Advanced Features & Operation Program Play The CDR-882’s AMS control may be used to quickly locate playback to a particular track on a disc, or to commence playback of a series of consecutive tracks from the first of them. However, it is sometimes necessary to play a series of tracks on a disc in a specific order.

It locates a disc to the point at the start of a track where the audio actually begins, thereby eliminating the short (but variable) period of silence which often precedes the audio.
