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.

The currently selected input is indicated at the top left of the display at all times. The I/P SELECT button determines which input is to be used; pressing it scrolls through the five options in sequence, which are:

INPUT	DISPLAY
Balanced analogue (XLRs)	Balanced
Unbalanced analogue (phonos)	Unbal
AES/EBU digital	AES/EBU
S/PDIF (phonos)	Coax
S/PDIF (TOSlink)	Optical

See page 10 for details of the various rear panel connectors, pinouts and details of the inputs’ capabilities.

Note that changing from one digital input type to another may require the selection to be confirmed with the ENTER button, which may affect the Clock Source. See page 38 for further details.

Time displays

The track or disc time information shown on the front panel display is determined both by the drive’s current status and the selected DISPLAY option.

•When a disc is first loaded, the time display shows the total time of all the tracks on the disc (once disc initialisation is complete) – TOTAL

•When a disc has been cued to the start of a track (i.e. with the AMS knob), but is waiting in STOP or PAUSE modes, the duration of that track is displayed – TRACK

•While a track is playing, any of the four options listed below may be selected with the DISPLAY button

Pressing the DISPLAY button In PLAY mode scrolls through the options, which are (in sequence):

INPUT	DISPLAY
Elapsed time – track (+ track number)	TRACK
Elapsed time – whole disc	TOTAL
Remaining time – track (+ track number)	REMAIN
Remaining time – whole disc	TOTREM

Note (1): The DISPLAY button only alters the time display option for the drive currently selected by the DRIVE SELECT button (28).

Note (2): If PROGRAM PLAY mode is selected (see page 44), the times displayed in TOTAL and TOTREM modes are those for the programmed playlist, not the total of the disc.

The display indicates which method is currently selected (for each drive) to the right of the time display itself.

If a disc containing CD Text data is loaded, the display will automatically show the CD Text. Track number and time information may be displayed instead by pressing DISPLAY.
