Fade-out Time
This is the corresponding fade-out time, which sets the duration
of the fade down at the end of one disc, as recording passes to
the other drive. The length of fade-out can be from 1 to 10
seconds, adjustable in 1 second increments. The factory default
value is 4 seconds.
Overlap Time
In DiscSpan modes, the input signal feeds both the CDR-882’s
drives; a few seconds before recording stops on one disc, the
other starts recording so that for a short time both drives are
recording. Thus there are a few seconds of audio duplicated, at
the end of one disc and at the start of the next. This allows
recordings to be seamlessly re-assembled on playback in the
CDR-882 or on a workstation editor.
The CDR-882 is able to replay discs which have been recorded
sequentially in this way “seamlessly”, using the overlap period
to fade from one drive to the other so the audio output is
continuous. See page 39 for more information on DiscSpan
operation.
The duration of the overlap is adjustable from 4 seconds to 5
minutes. The increments are 5 seconds for durations of up to
30 seconds, and 30 second increments thereafter. The factory
default value is 1 minute.
Record Submenu
The Record submenu has nine parameters available for
adjustment.
Record Sync
This option determines whether the CDR-882 increments the
track counter on receipt of Track IDs. The two settings are Rec
Start/Stop and Rec Start/Stop + Track.
If Rec Start/Stop is selected, reception of a track trigger (sub-
code or audio threshold) starts recording. Recording stops when
either a DAT End ID or other stop ID is received via S/PDIF, or
after 10 seconds of digital silence.
If Rec Start/Stop + Track is selected, in addition to the above,
a new track marker is written to the disc every time a new track
trigger is received, and the track counter increments by one.
(This is the default setting)
S/PDIF-i/p REC Start Trigger
This option is used to determine the source of record start
triggers. The two settings are S/PDIF subcode or Audio
Threshold.
With S/PDIF subcode selected, record start triggers are
derived from DAT/MD Start IDs or CD PQ codes within the
S/PDIF input bitstream. Note that the S/PDIF input must be
selected as the active input for S/PDIF subcode to be a valid
selection.
With Audio Threshold selected, a record start trigger is
generated when the input signal level rises above a preset
threshold (see page 34) for the first time after the selected
drive has been placed in RECORD PAUSE mode. This setting is
only one that can be used with any input other than S/PDIF, and
is the factory default.
