Auto Track ID Trigger
This option is used to determine the source of track ID triggers,
i.e. what defines that a new track should commence on the disc
being recorded. There are three possible settings: S/PDIF
subcode, Audio Threshold or Time Interval.
If S/PDIF subcode is selected, a new track is created when a
DAT/MD Track ID or CD PQ code is received in the incoming
S/PDIF input. If this option is selected when an input other
than S/PDIF is that currently selected, the Track ID source will
change to Audio Threshold (see below).
With Audio Threshold selected, a new track is created when the
level of the audio input signal drops below the level set as the
Audio Threshold for more than 2 seconds.
If Time Interval is selected, a new track is created at fixed time
intervals, regardless of the input signal. The length of the interval
(and hence the track length) is set in the Track Length menu
option (see below). This setting may be useful if the CDR-882
is being used to record lengthy programme material without
obvious breaks (such as a speech or conference).
Audio Threshold
This menu option sets the audio threshold level used to create
Rec Start or Track IDs, if Audio Threshold has been set as the
source for Record Start Triggers (above) or Auto Track ID
Triggers (also above). The threshold is adjustable in 6dB
increments from -78dBFS to -24dBFS. The factory default value
is -60dBFS.
Track Length
This sets the length of tracks when Time Interval is selected in
the Auto Track ID Trigger menu option. A new track is created
regardless of input signal at the time interval specified in this
option. The track length is adjustable in 1 minute increments
from 1 minute to 10 minutes.
Auto Finalize
This menu option determines whether disc finalisation is
performed automatically when all tracks have been recorded, or
needs to be initiated manually (using the front panel FINALIZE
button). Auto Finalize may be set Off or On.
Automatic finalisation is also dependent on the use of the
CDR-882’s SYNC RECORD function. With Auto Finalize set
On and SYNC RECORD selected, finalisation will be carried out
automatically at the completion of a sync recording.
If SYNC RECORD is not selected, automatic finalisation will only
be performed when the disc is full.
With Auto Finalize set Off, the user must press the front panel
FINALIZE button to start the finalisation process.
Note that Auto Finalize is selected automatically in DISCSPAN
mode in order that ready-to-play discs are available immediately
recording is complete. With the DISC COPY function, discs are
always finalised, so this submenu setting is not relevant. See
