Advanced Features & Operation Disc End Review

Pre-selecting a track before loading a disc

This feature allows the user to select a particular track on a disc for playback before it is loaded in the machine, thereby minimising the number of button presses required.

To make use of this feature, press EJECT to open the tray of the drive to be used, and insert the disc. Ensure that DRIVE SELECT is set to the drive being used. The AMS control can now be used to pre-select a track; as the control is rotated, track numbers are displayed in the normal way. With the number of the required track showing, either PLAY/PAUSE or ENTER may now be pressed. The tray closes, the disc is read, and playback commences from the start of the selected track.

TRACK PRE-SELECT is even simpler when commanded from the RC-882 remote control. Pressing the numeric keys (0 to 9, 10/0 and >10) will immediately initiate the playback sequence, starting with the selected track.

Because the CDR-882 cannot know how many tracks are on the disc before it has been loaded and read, it is possible to pre- select a track with a number greater than that of the number of tracks on the disc. Should this occur, playback commences from the last track on the disc.

Disc End Review

The CDR-882 permits tracks to be added to a CD-R or CD-RW at will – a disc does not have to be fully recorded in a single pass. The DISC END REVIEW function allows the user to review a partly-recorded disc “to date” by checking the last recorded track.

When a partly-recorded CD-R or CD-RW is placed in a drive for further recording, RECORD PAUSE mode is entered in the normal way by pressing the RECORD button. If the FREW button is now pressed and held, the drive scans backwards through the last recorded track(s), with audio. The FREW button may be released at any point, which causes the drive to enter PLAY mode at that point, play the disc until the end of the last track, and then enter RECORD PAUSE again. Recording can now be commenced in the normal way.

Note that the FFWD and FREW buttons are available to perform their normal functions of scanning the recorded material (with audio) in either direction from PLAY mode.

If the RECORD button is pressed while the disc is playing in DISC END REVIEW mode, the drive jumps forward to the end of the last track, and enters RECORD PAUSE. Recording can now be commenced in the normal way.

Erasing and Unfinalising discs

It may be necessary (or desired) to erase some or all the tracks already recorded on a CD-RW prior to recording new tracks on it. The CDR-882 includes a simple-to-use ERASE function which can be used to either erase tracks from a CD-RW, or to completely re-initialise it.

The first process in erasing a disc is unfinalisation, where just the disc’s TOC is erased. It is then possible to add more tracks to those already on the disc, or to erase the existing tracks.

Initialising a CD-RW completely removes all previously recorded material and returns the disc to a “virgin” state where all

its space may be re-used. Initialisation is a different physical process which takes much longer than erasure.

Because of the physical way that tracks are written on a CD- RW, there is a constraint on which tracks can be erased. Tracks can only be erased from the last track “backwards”. It is not possible to erase a track “in the middle” of a CD-RW, leaving higher-numbered tracks on the disc as well.

Example – if a CD-RW contains 10 tracks, the following tracks may be erased:

track 10 alone (i.e. the last track)

tracks 9 and 10 (i.e. the last two tracks)

tracks 8 to 10 (i.e. the last three tracks) and so on, up to:

tracks 2 to10 (all the tracks on the disc)

Erase Disc is the same as Erase tracks 1 to 10
