while the disc is playing, or the drive is paused at the required
location. Confirmation that a cue point has been written is
given by the word MARK in the bottom right-hand corner of the
display. Any subsequent press of the MARK button will overwrite
with new data; the MARK memory always contains the location
at the last press of MARK.
The disc may be relocated to a stored cue point at any time by
pressing the ID WRITE CUE button, which in PLAY and PAUSE
modes acts as a CUE button. Playback will recommence from
the cue point, unless AUTO-CUE or AUTO-PAUSE modes have

This function is particularly useful when the CDR-882 is being
used to play out spot SFXs, or similar applications. It locates a
disc to the point at the start of a track where the audio actually
begins, thereby eliminating the short (but variable) period of
silence which often precedes the audio.
Auto-Cue mode is enabled by pressing the ID AUTO/MAN/
AUTO-CUEbutton, which in PLAY and PAUSE modes acts as an
AUTO-CUE mode selector. The button cycles through AUTO-CUE
and AUTO-PAUSE modes before returning to OFF:
