Advanced Features & Operation

Program Play

The CDR-882’s AMS control may be used to quickly locate playback to a particular track on a disc, or to commence playback of a series of consecutive tracks from the first of them. However, it is sometimes necessary to play a series of tracks on a disc in a specific order. Program Play allows the user to create a playlist of tracks in any order.

Program Play mode is allied with Program Copy mode, which is described in detail in the next section of the manual.

The principle of Program Play extends across both drives on the CDR-882; i.e. tracks from two different discs may be assembled into a Program Play sequence.

Program Mode can only be entered from STOP mode. When selected with the PROGRAM button, the display initially shows the Track Entry screen:

CD1 Track 01

00 00:00

Tracks may be added to the playlist by using the AMS control to increment the track number to that of a required track, and selecting it with the ENTER button. The time display below, initially zero, will show the number of tracks selected (the first two digits) and their total combined playing time. If two discs are being used to compile a track list, the tracks on the second disc will be displayed by scrolling “past” the last track on the first disc; these may be added in the same way.

At any time, PLAY/PAUSE may be pressed to audition the selection; the display changes to the “normal” screen, except that Program Play mode is confirmed by text at the screen top right. In Program Play, the AMS control may be used to advance and retard through the tracks in the playlist, in the correct play order. FREW and FFWD will still operate in the normal way, but will not transfer the current play location beyond the current track. Pressing PROGRAM again returns the display to the Track Entry screen. To clear the playlist, press STOP while the Track Enter screen is being displayed. Pressing PROGRAM from the Track Enter screen while in STOP will cancel Program Play mode and return the CDR-882’s operating mode to that last selected with the MODE button. However, the playlist contents remains stored until cleared or the disc(s) are removed. Pressing STOP while in Stop Mode will clear the playlist contents.

Program Copy

Program Copy mode may be considered to be a combination of Program Play and Disc Copy modes (but see note below regarding finalisation). A playlist is created in the same manner as for Program Play mode; whereas Disc Copy will copy the entire contents of a disc to a blank disc in the other drive,

in Program Copy only the tracks in the playlist are copied. However, they are copied in the order in which they were programmed into the playlist.

As one drive must contain a blank disc, Program Copy mode does not allow the option of programming tracks from two different discs.

Programming of tracks is performed in almost the same way as in Program Play. If one of the drives contains a blank CD, pressing the front panel PROGRAM button will bring up the display as shown below :

Program Play

Program Copy

One of the options will be in reverse video (highlighted). The AMS rotary control may be used to select Program Copy, and the ENTER button (the AMS knob) selects it. The screen shown below will be displayed:

Track 01

00 00:00

Tracks are now added to the playlist with the AMS control as with Program Play mode. The display will show the number of tracks in the playlist and the playlist’s total time. When the list is complete, pressing PROGRAM again displays the following screen:

Start Copy?

Enter-Y Stop-N

Pressing ENTER (the AMS knob) will start the copy process; pressing STOP will cancel.

IMPORTANT: Unlike Disc Copy mode, finalisation is not implicit in Program Copy mode. Finalisation will be performed automatically if the Auto-Finalizationoption has been set to On in the RECORD submenu, but not otherwise (see page 34). When all the tracks from a source disc have been copied to the destination disc, the source disc may be changed for a different one, so that a CD can be assembled from tracks from several source discs, in any order.

When the copy is complete, finalisation should be performed manually (see page 25).
