Digital Output Format
This sets the format of the channel status block in the digital
output bitstream to be “professional” or “consumer”.
With the professional setting, the digital output bitstream
conforms to AES3-1992 (r1997) amendment 4-1999 (generally
referred to as AES/EBU). With the consumer setting, the
output bitstream conforms to IEC60958 (generally referred to
as S/PDIF). The factory default setting is Consumer.
It is important to appreciate that in the CDR-882 a bitstream
conforming to either AES/EBU and S/PDIF standards is
available simultaneously at all digital outputs, i.e., all three digital
outputs carry the same format at all times.
Setting the Digital Output Format menu option to Professional
or Consumer merely changes the channel status block format
between “professional” and “consumer”, as might be required by
other equipment. There is no difference in the audio part of the
bitstream at the outputs. However, note that only the S/PDIF
consumer format carries CD Text data and Track IDs.
SCMS
The SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) menu option
determines how the SCMS copyright flag is set on the disc being
recorded. There are three settings available for the SCMS flag,
Prohibit Copy, Copy Once or Permit Copies.
With the SCMS set to Prohibit Copy, it will not be possible for
any further digital copies of the disc to be made.
If the option is set to Copy Once, a digital copy of the disc can
be made, but it will not be possible to make any further digital
copies from that copy.
With Permit Copies set, there are no restrictions on making
digital copies of the disc.
Note that it is not possible to change the SCMS setting while
the CDR-882 is in RECORD mode. See page 48 for further
information on SCMS.
Copy Speed
The CDR-882’s DISC COPY function permits CDs to be copied at
high speed. Different media have different optimum write
speeds. This menu option lets the user set a copy speed to
optimise the performance for the disc type in use.
One of three copy speeds may be set, Low, Medium or High.
The factory default setting is Low.
Broadly, Low corresponds to up-to-8x normal speed; Medium
to 12x to 16x normal speed and High to 24x to 52x normal
speed. The precise copy speed will be determined by the speeds
supported by the media and the drives.
Note that if the destination disc is a CD-RW, the setting of this
menu is ignored since CD-RWs have very specific write speed
requirements, which are set automatically.
The Copy Speed setting only applies to DISC COPY mode, not
other recording modes.
