Introduction

Introduction

Thank you for buying this HHB Professional product. The
CDR-882 DualBurn CD Recorder is designed to record and
replay audio CDs in a broadcast or other professional audio
environment, and incorporates a number of features and
facilities that may be unfamiliar to users. In particular, the CDR­882 permits the recording of programme material of longer
duration than could normally be accommodated on one CD
by recording across two or more separate discs, with user­programmable intelligent cross-fading between consecutive
discs. It also permits two discs to be burnt simultaneously with
the same programme.

We recommend that you read this instruction manual at least
as far as the Basic Operation section, to familiarise yourself with
the unit’s layout, controls and operating system before use. The
Advanced Operation covers the more specialised features of
the CDR-882 and can be referred to as required once you are
familiar with the unit’s basic functions.

Please keep this manual in a safe place once you are sufficiently
familiar with the CDR-882 to use it without referral. You may
need it in the future.

Important - Please register your CDR-882 with HHB
Communications at http://www.hhb.co.uk. Registering your
machine will help us in providing you with after-sales service
should the need arise, and may also be of assistance in the
event of the unit being stolen.

Environment - The CDR-882’s range of operating temperature
and relative humidity (RH) are as follows:

Safety Guidelines

•

Operate only on a secure and level surface or securely
fastened into a rack, noting the precautions below

•

This equipment must be earthed (grounded)

•

This equipment must be powered from a polarised AC
supply

•

Only suitably trained personnel should service this
equipment

•

Please read and take note of all warning and informative
labels

•

Before starting any servicing operation, this equipment
must be isolated from the AC supply (mains) by removing
the incoming IEC mains connector

•

Fuses should only be replaced with ones of the same type
and rating as that indicated

•

Operate only in a clean, dry and pollutant-free environment

•

Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere

•

Do not allow any liquid or solid objects to enter the
equipment. Should this accidentally occur then immediately
switch off the unit and contact your service agent

Installation

If the CDR-882 is being installed in a rack, care should be taken
not to block the ventilation slots on the rear, top and left-hand
side. Although the CDR-882 itself does not generate a significant
degree of heat, it should never be installed immediately above or
below another piece of equipment that does, such as a power
amplifier. It is good practice in any case to fit vent blanks of at
least 1U above and below such equipment in a rack (unless they
short-circuit that equipments’ own fan-cooling, in which case
plain blanks should be fitted).

Care with ventilation should similarly be taken if the unit is free­standing; never stack it on top of or underneath another piece of
equipment which generates a significant amount of heat.

Take care when routing cables around the unit; never drape
cables across the front panel of the CDR-882 as they may
obstruct the disc tray eject mechanisms.

Do not install or use the CDR-882 in a position where it is in
direct sunlight or high-intensity artificial light. Never attempt to
move the unit while it is in operation.

Introduction

Care & cleaning

Always switch off and disconnect the unit from the mains before
cleaning. The outside surfaces of the unit may be cleaned with
a soft dry cloth. For stubborn marks (such as from a liquid
spillage), a soft damp cloth may be used in conjunction with a
mild detergent solution (dilute a household detergent cleaner 5:1
with water). Wipe thoroughly dry with a dry cloth after. NEVER
use solvent cleaners of any kind.

Always switch the unit off and disconnect it from the AC supply
before moving it. NEVER move the unit while it is in use, as
this may permanently damage the disc(s) and/or the laser
mechanisms.

CDs should ALWAYS be handled with care. Hold discs only by
the edge or the centre hole. Never put discs “face down” on any
surface as they can scratch easily. Smudges and fingerprints
may be removed from a disc’s playing surface by wiping it gently
with a soft, lint-free cloth “across” the disc radius. Never rub
circumferentially. Stubborn marks can be removed by applying
a small amount of isopropyl alcohol (distilled water is often as
effective), again with a soft, lint-free cloth. Alternatively, use
a commercially available CD cleaning kit. NEVER use solvent
cleaners of any kind.

Installing the Remote Control batteries

To insert the batteries in the infra-red remote control handset:

•

Slide off the battery compartment lid on the rear of the
handset

•

Insert two AA batteries, taking care to orientate them
the correct way (refer to markings within the battery
compartment)

•

Slide battery compartment lid back on

Important! Please observe the following guidelines when
replacing batteries:

•

Always change both batteries at the same time

•

Always use two batteries of the same brand and type

•

Dispose of the old batteries in a responsible manner
– always observe local environmental guidelines

8

CDR-882 User Manual Version 1.0www.hhb.co.uk

Using the RC-882 Remote Control
handset

•

Make sure there are no obstacles between the handset
and the unit

•

The handset should work reliably within 7m of the unit, and
within 30° of the direct line between the handset and the
unit

•

Strong sunlight or fluorescent lighting may make remote
control operation less reliable

•

Remote control handsets for different equipment
sometimes interact. If the CDR-882 is installed adjacent
to other infra-red-controlled equipment, you should satisfy
yourself that the CDR-882’s handset is not affecting the
other equipment, or vice-versa. One or more items may
need to be moved if interaction is observed

•

A falling-off of the operating range of the handset will
generally indicate that it is time to change the batteries

Compatible disc types

The CDR-882 supports various CD types:

•

Red Book standard pressed audio CDs (play)

•

Red Book (CD-DA) audio on data or “audio” CD-R discs
(play and record), including unfinalised discs

•

Red Book (CD-DA) audio on data or “audio” CD-RW discs
(play and record), including unfinalised discs

NOTE: The CDR-882 does not play or record audio in the form

Connector Details

Balanced L & R analogue inputs. These are electronically­balanced on XLR3F connectors and can accept audio levels
of up to +24dBu without clipping. Nominal input sensitivity
is set at +4dBu for a digital level of -18dBFS. Nominal input
impedance is 10kΩ. The pinout for this (and all other inputs
and outputs) can be found at page 51.

Note that the CDR-882 has one set of audio inputs only;
internally, the input signals are routed to both disc drives.

Unbalanced L & R analogue inputs. Unbalanced analogue
inputs on phono connectors (RCA jacks) are also provided.
Nominal input sensitivity is -10dBu for a digital level of

-18dBFS. Maximum input level at these connectors is
+10dBu. Input impedance is 10kΩ.

AES/EBU digital input. Professional 2-channel digital audio
input conforming to AES3-1992 (r1997) amendment 4-

1999. Connector is an XLR3F, input impedance is 110Ω.

S/PDIF Coaxial digital input. Semi-pro/consumer 2­channel digital audio input on a phono connector (RCA jack),
conforming to IEC60958-4. DAT track ID and PQ-code
recognition are enabled at this input and the SCMS flag is
under operator control. (See page 48).

S/PDIF Optical digital input. An S/PDIF digital audio input
can alternatively be applied via the optical TOSlink connector
using a suitable fibre-optic cable (less than 3m in length
recommended).

All digital inputs can accept data at a sample rate of between 32
& 96kHz. The signal is sample-rate converted internally to the
CD standard of 44.1kHz.

Note that recordings on the CDR-882 will only be made using
one of the input connectors (1) to (5) above at any one time.
The active input is set via the front panel I/P SELECT button.
(See page 13).

Balanced L & R analogue outputs. These are electronically­balanced on XLR3M connectors, and will drive a maximum
audio level of +22dBu for 0dBFS. Nominal output level is
set at +4dBu for a digital level of -18dBFS. Nominal output
impedance is less than 100Ω.

10

CDR-882 User Manual Version 1.0www.hhb.co.uk

Connectivity

Unbalanced L & R analogue outputs. These carry the
same audio signal as the main outputs (1) above, but in
unbalanced form on phono connectors (RCA jacks) at a
nominal level of -10dBu. Output level is calibrated internally
to be +8dBu from a maximum (digital clip) PCM signal level
of 0dBFS. Output impedance is 47Ω.

AES/EBU out. This provides a two-channel AES/EBU digital
output conforming to AES3-2003. The connector is an
XLR3M, output impedance 110Ω.

S/PDIF Coaxial digital output. A 2-channel “semi-pro”
digital output conforming to the IEC60958-4 is available at
this connector. Transmission of CD PQ codes and CD Text
data are enabled in the S/PDIF data stream; the signal
is otherwise the same as that available at the AES/EBU
connector (8).

Note that the channel status bits denoting whether the
digital outputs are “Pro” or “Consumer” may be set via the
menu system (Record > Digital Output Format), and that
this setting applies to both the AES/EBU and S/PDIF digital
outputs.

Also note that the S/PDIF output is used in Multi-Machine
modes to pass audio, clock and CD Text data between units.

S/PDIF Optical digital output. Standard TOSlink connector
carrying the same signal as (9) above, in optical form. Use a
standard optical TOSlink cable of not more than 3m. length.

RS232 Link Input connector. The CDR-882 can be fully
controlled remotely via RS232 serial commands. Pinout,
port parameters and an abridged command set can be
found at page 13. This port permits one or more (see
(12) below) CDR-882s to be controlled from a dedicated
computer with appropriate software, or by a proprietary
external control system (Crestron, AMX, etc.). A “crossed”
cable (i.e., one with transmit and receive pins cross­connected) should be used when controlling the CDR-882
from an external control system. A D9M connector is used.

Word Clock input. An input for an external 44.1kHz digital
audio word clock is provided on a BNC socket. The input
impedance is either 75Ω or high-impedance, set by the
termination switch adjacent to the connector.

Word clock selection and routing is done via the menu
system; see sections page 21 & page 31.

Keyboard input. A PS/2 connector is available on both
front and rear panels for the connection of a standard
QWERTY keyboard. The CDR-882 supports CD Text with
audio CDs in both record and replay modes, and connection
of a standard keyboard provides a rapid means of entering
textual data to be displayed on the front of suitably-equipped
CD players (including the CDR-882).

AC mains input. The CDR-882 is powered via a standard
IEC connector. The CDR-882’s design includes a universal
power supply and will accept all AC mains voltages from
100 to 240V, 50 to 60Hz.

RS232 Link Output connector. This allows control
information to be passed from Master to Slave units in
Multi-Machine mode. It also allows multiple CDR-882s to be
controlled from a single RS232 controller.

The link connector is a D9F. The pinout is the same as the
RS232 input, except that the Data transmit and receive
pins (2 & 3) are reversed. Thus when “daisy-chaining”
CDR-882s, “straight” cables must be used, in which all
connections between machines are “pin-to-pin”. Note that
in multi-machine modes, the “master” CDR-882 generates
control data for the connected “slave” units.

Note that the RS232 link connector only passes control
data, not audio. In multi-machine modes, the audio signals
need to be distributed to multiple CDR-882s separately
using S/PDIF interconnections. See page 42 for full details
of Multi-Machine operation.

Parallel remote control connector. The CDR-882’s basic
transport commands can also be implemented by volt-free
contact closure at the pins of this connector (a D9F). Five
of the pins are designated as inputs, three as outputs
(tallies). The functions controlled by each of the inputs are
user-definable via the menu system. The source of the tally
outputs is similarly definable. Full information, including
pinout, is available at page 51. Assignment of inputs and
outputs is performed via the menu system; see page 36 for
full details.
