Stopped recording facility being installed (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ceased

'stopped' is the definition.
('cease' can be a synonym of 'stop')

'recording facility being installed' is the wordplay.
'recording' becomes 'CD' (type of recording).
'facility' becomes 'ease' (I've seen this in another clue).
'being installed' is an insertion indicator.
'cd' going around 'ease' is 'CEASED'.

(Other definitions for ceased that I've seen before include "Stopped or discontinued" , "Finished" , "Concluded" , "Stopped, ended" , "Terminated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
