Playing a CD
1. Connect a stereo audio amplifier (and speakers) to either
the balanced outputs [XLRs [6] ) or unbalanced outputs
(phonos [7] ).
2. Open Drive 1’s disc tray with the EJECT button [5], insert
the CD to be played, and close the tray.
3. When the disc’s TOC has been read, the number of tracks
and the disc’s total playing time is displayed. To start
playback at Track 1, press the PLAY/PAUSE button [8].
The display confirms the track number (01), and the time
changes from Total to Track.*
4. To start playback from any other track, rotate the AMS
control [14] clockwise until the number of the required track
is shown, then press either ENTER or PLAY/PAUSE.
5. Playback may be paused at any time by pressing PLAY/
PAUSE, and resumed by pressing PLAY/PAUSE again.
Playback may be stopped by pressing the STOP button [9].
*If the CD contains CD Text, the CD Title will be displayed
instead when it is loaded. Press TEXT [17] to display the Artist
Name. After PLAY/PAUSE is pressed, the display shows
the Track Title. DISPLAY [20] may be pressed at any time to
resume the track number/elapsed time display.
Playing one disc while recording
another
The dual drive capability of the CDR-882 allows one CD to be
played while another is recorded, in the same machine. This
feature will be useful when seminars, conferences or Houses of
Worship services, etc., are being recorded, with the intention
of providing attendees with CDs of the event very soon after it
finishes.
Assume that we wish to record on Drive 2 while playing another
CD in Drive 1.
1. Connect a stereo audio amplifier (and speakers) to either
the balanced outputs [XLRs [6]) or unbalanced outputs
(phonos [7]).
2. Connect the source to be recorded to the appropriate set of
inputs – analogue [1] or [2] or digital [3], [4] or [5].
3. Open Drive 1’s disc tray with the EJECT button [5] and
insert the CD to be played; open Drive 2’s disc tray with the
EJECT button [6] and insert a blank CD-R. Close both trays.
4. When the discs have been read, and the display is showing
the contents of the disc in Drive 1, select Drive 2 by
pressing the DRIVE SELECT button [28]. Drive 2’s track
information (zero if the disc was blank) will be in reverse
video.
5. Press the I/P SELECT button [19] until the display shows
the name of the input being used (the inputs you connected (the inputs you connected
to in Step 2).
6. Press the MENU button [16], with the AMS control/
ENTER button [14], navigate to the Phones Mix option in
the Audio submenu. Set this to Priority CD1.
7. So that the rear output connectors carry the playback audio
from Drive 1, navigate to the Output Mix option in the
Audio Submenu and set it to Priority CD1; exit the menu
system by pressing MENU again until the normal display
appears.
8. If recording from an analogue source, perform Steps 5 and
6 of “Recording a CD from an Analogue Source” above. If
recording from a digital source, perform Steps 5 and 6 (and
7 if necessary) of “Recording a CD from a Digital Source”
above. In either case, the source programme can be
monitored via the speakers instead of the headphones.
9. Recording may now be started in Drive 2 by pressing the
PLAY/PAUSE button [8].
10. Press the DRIVE SELECT button [28] to select Drive 1.
11. The green LED adjacent to the MONITOR button [18] will
now flash.
12. The disc in Drive 1 may now be played by pressing
the PLAY/PAUSE button [8]. Playback will be heard,
commencing with Track 1; the AMS control [14] may be
used to select a different track (see Step 4 of “Playing a CD”
above).
13. The audio output may be monitored in the headphones and
switched between Drive 1 (playback) and Drive 2 (signal
being recorded) with the PHONES SELECT button [29].
(The “Mix” setting - with both LEDs on - will select Drive 1’s
playback because Priority CD1 was selected in Step 6.)
14. The transport controls may be switched – by pressing
DRIVE SELECT – between the disc being played in Drive
1 and the disc being recorded in Drive 2, to suit the
operator’s needs. The disc being recorded will need to be
finalised as normal when recording is complete.
