Disc insertion and removal

The disc drive trays may be opened with the EJECT buttons [5 & 6] and closed either with a second press of EJECT, or by gently pushing the front of the tray.

When placing a disc in the tray, ensure that it is located correctly in the recess before attempting to close the tray to avoid jamming the mechanism or damaging the disc. Note that there is a second inner recess to accommodate discs of 8cm diameter.

The display reads Open while the tray is open, and Close while it is closing. When an empty tray is fully retracted, the display reads No Disc.

If the tray is closed with a disc inserted, the display shows Reading while the disc’s TOC (if any) is read; once this is completed, the drive enters STOP mode, with the display either indicating the number of tracks on the discs and the CD’s total playing time, or any CD Text information on the disc.

The EJECT buttons are always disabled when the relevant drive is in RECORD or RECORD PAUSE mode. Additionally, they can be disabled in all transport modes other than STOP via the menu system (see page 37).

Drive selection

The CDR-882’s two disc drives are functionally identical. Either may be used for playback or recording. In the various dual- disc modes supported by the CDR-882, disc copying from one drive to another in either direction and recording on both drives simultaneously are both possible. (See page 39 for more information regarding dual disc modes).

The unit’s main transport buttons [8 -12] only control one drive at a time; the DRIVE SELECT button [28] selects which drive is “active” for control functions, and toggles between them. The selected drive is indicated by the two blue SELECT LEDs [34], and the drive’s display will be shown in reverse video. In addition, either CD1 or CD2 will be indicated in the upper right-hand area; these remain visible in Menu Mode.

Certain rules apply regarding automatic drive selection at power- up:

•Drive 1 is selected by default if neither drive contains a disc

•If Drive 2 already has a disc inserted, it is selected after initialisation and disc reading

•If both drives contain discs, Drive 1 is selected after initialisation and disc reading

Transport Controls

A standard set of five CD drive buttons is provided, which operate on the currently-selected drive. The transport buttons are illuminated and colour-coded, and their functions are duplicated on the RC-882 remote control. Additional track locating functions are available with the AMS control.

Play/Pause

The function of the PLAY/PAUSE button depends on the drive’s current mode:

•If the drive is in STOP when PLAY/PAUSE is pressed, the drive enters PLAY mode and playback commences at Track 1*. PLAY mode is indicated by a steady LED in the PLAY/PAUSE button and a H symbol in the display

•If PLAY/PAUSE is pressed while the drive is already in PLAY mode, the drive enters PAUSE mode, playback stops and the disc is paused at the current location. PAUSE mode is indicated by a flashing PLAY/PAUSE button LED, and a B symbol in the display and a flashing Drive Activity

LED

•Pressing PLAY/PAUSE when the drive is in PAUSE mode puts the drive back into PLAY mode and playback resumes from the paused location

*An exception to this is if Program Play is active and the first programmed track is not Track 1.

The PLAY/PAUSE button is also used to begin recording. See RECORD below.

Stop

Pressing STOP while the drive is in PLAY mode stops the drive and playback ceases. The display returns to the ‘initial loading’ state, showing the number of tracks and total time. Re-selecting PLAY will always start playback with Track 1 (unless Program Play is active and the first programmed track is not Track

1). STOP mode is indicated by the STOP button LED and a A symbol in the display.

FFWD & FREW

Pressing these buttons in PLAY mode engage SEARCH. The track is scanned at increased speed, either forwards (FFWD) or backwards (FREW). Audio continues to be replayed during search, but at a lower output level. Search speed is dependent on how long the button is pressed; holding the button down for longer increases the search speed incrementally up to a maximum of 20x normal speed. SEARCH mode is cancelled when the button is released.

Pressing FFWD or FREW from PAUSE mode scans the disc in the same manner, but audio remains muted.

SEARCH modes are indicated by the symbols D or C in the display, and the buttons’ internal green symbols also illuminate.
