PLAY/PAUSE button. Press from STOP to start playback. If pressed during PLAY, playback will pause, and resume on a further press. The display indicates PLAY mode with the H symbol, or PAUSE mode with the B symbol. The green H B in the button illuminates, steadily in PLAY mode and flashing in PAUSE mode. See page 20 for more details.

STOP button. Pressing this button stops the disc from all transport modes. The display shows the symbol A and the yellow A symbol in the button illuminates.

FFWD button. Press and hold from PLAY to scan (search) forward through the current track at increased speed, with audio. Search speed increases the longer the button is pressed. PLAY resumes when the button is released. See page 20 for more details.

FREW button. This button has exactly the same function as the FFWD button (10) above, except that the search direction is reversed.

RECORD button. Press to prepare the drive for recording. After checking disc type, etc., the drive enters RECORD PAUSE mode. Recording is started by pressing the PLAY/ PAUSE button, which “releases” the paused state. See page 21 for more details.

SYNC RECORD button. Press to start recording on detection of a start trigger (e.g. a Track ID code or audio level). SYNC RECORD also invokes Track ID marking. See page 24 for full details.

AMS/Digital Rec Level control. Multi-purpose rotary control with “press” function. As a rotary control, it performs Automatic Music Search (AMS) to locate to a particular track. It also provides the means of navigating the menu system when in MENU mode.

The “press” function acts as an ENTER button in menu navigation to select submenus and options. In PLAY mode, it is used as a MARK button, to store the current play position so it can be easily re-located to. See page 24 (AMS) and page 27 (Menu Navigation) for more details.

Analogue Rec Level control. This is a conventional record level control for use when either of the analogue inputs are selected as the input source. Record level is displayed on the bargraph meters.

MENU button. Pressing this button puts the CDR-882 into MENU mode. A variety of unit parameters and settings may be adjusted and selected via the menu system. These include word clock source selection, setting of the various multi-drive recording modes, parallel remote control port setup, etc. See page 27.

TEXT button. Selecting TEXT mode allows CD Text data to be entered, using a PS/2 QWERTY keyboard connected to either of the keyboard sockets. The text data can be seen on the LED display as it is entered.

More information on using CD Text can be found at page 45.
