Manual Record; Selecting A Track (Ams); Fader - HHB DualBurn CDR-882 User Manual

Manual Record

The RECORD button is only enabled if certain conditions are
met. These are that i) there is a blank recordable disc in the
selected drive and ii) that if the currently-selected input is one
of the three digital inputs, there is a valid signal (AES/EBU or
S/PDIF) at the input connector (even though it may have zero
audio content).
If the conditions are met, pressing the RECORD button initialises
the blank disc. The LCD display flashes Record Setup for the
drive being used, and the G symbol in the RECORD button and
the drive activity LED both flash red.
Initialisation takes a few seconds, after which the drive enters
RECORD PAUSE mode. This is confirmed by a steady RECORD
button LED, a flashing G symbol in the display and a flashing
green LED in the PLAY/PAUSE button.
Recording may be started by pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button,
which puts the drive into RECORD mode. The symbol G in the
display and the LED in the PLAY/PAUSE button stops flashing.

Selecting a track (AMS)

NEXT and PREVIOUS functions are performed with the rotary
AMS control. Rotating it 'one click' clockwise will advance the
cue point of the currently-selected drive to the start of the next
track. Similarly, one anticlockwise click moves the cue point to
the start of the current track, two anticlockwise clicks to the
start of the previous track.
Any track on a disc may be selected for playback by rotating the
AMS control more than one 'click'.
While re-locating, the display temporarily shows the symbol E
or F as appropriate.
Other factors concerning the operation of the AMS control are:
• From STOP, as a track is selected, the length of the track
is displayed and the beginning of the track is cued and pre-
loaded into memory for Instant Start. Playback is started
by pressing either PLAY/PAUSE or ENTER. Press STOP
to cancel this cue mode
• Rotating counter-clockwise from the first track will select
the last track; rotating clockwise past the last track will
select the first track
• If the drive is already in PLAY mode when the AMS control
is rotated, playback of the new track will begin immediately
• From PAUSE, playback will be held in PAUSE at the start of
the new track. Press PLAY/PAUSE to begin playback
The NEXT and PREVIOUS functions performed by the AMS
control are also available from the RC-882 remote control with
the E and F buttons.
Note that the AMS knob is a multi-function control and it has
several other uses, including menu navigation and MARK writing.

Fader

The FADER button can be used instead of the PLAY/PAUSE
button to start and stop playback from (and recording to) the
currently-selected drive, but with a controlled fade-in and/or
fade-out of the audio. Fade-in and fade-out times are user-
definable.
In disc playback the FADER function operates as follows:
• When the drive is in STOP mode, pressing the FADER
button cues it to Track 1 and enters PLAY mode. The
playback audio level fades up from zero to maximum over
the time period defined as the Fade-in Time
• Pressing FADER while a disc is already playing (i.e. the
drive is in PLAY mode) reduces the audio level from
maximum to zero over the time period defined as the
Fade-Out Time, and then puts the drive into PAUSE mode
From PAUSE mode, a further press of FADER puts the
•
drive back into PLAY, with the audio level fading up again
In disc recording modes, the FADER function operates as
follows:
• Pressing the FADER button from RECORD PAUSE mode
(see RECORD above) puts the drive into RECORD mode in
the normal manner; recording starts, but the audio level
fades up from zero to maximum over the Fade-in Time
• Once in RECORD mode, a further press of FADER reduces
the audio level back to zero over the Fade-Out Time, and
then puts the drive into RECORD PAUSE mode
The Fade-In and Fade-Out Times can each be set from 1 to 10
seconds (in 1 second increments) via the Menu system. See
page 29 for full details.
Activation of the FADER function is indicated on the display by
the flashing text FADE-IN or FADE-OUT while the fade is actually
taking place.
