1 – Introduction The CC-222MKII provides you with an advanced system for the recording and playback of digital compact discs and analog cassettes, providing easy duplication facilities in both directions, and combining the most advanced technology in both fields. Additional audio units, both analog and digital, can be connected easily through the rear panel connections, allowing the recording of other sources.
1 – Introduction—Some notes and precautions Rack-mounting the unit Use the rack-mounting kit to mount the unit in a standard 19-inch equipment rack, as shown below. Remove the feet of the unit before mounting it. See “Environmental considerations” on page 7 below for details of ventilation, etc.
1 – Introduction—Finalizing About tapes Do not store tapes in the following places: • On top of heaters, exposed to direct sunlight, or in any other places with high temperatures. • Near speakers, on TV sets or amplifiers or where they would be exposed to strong magnetic fields. • Where humidity is high, or in dirty, dusty places. • Avoid dropping or subjecting cassettes to excessive shocks.
1 – Introduction—Finalizing “Recordable” discs In this manual, we use the term “recordable” disc to describe a CD-R or CD-RW disc that has not been finalized, i.e. further recording is possible on the disc. Handling of compact discs Observe the following: • Always place compact discs in the tray with their label facing upward (compact discs can only be played on one side).
1 – Introduction—Finalizing • Do not use 8cm (single) discs, “business card” discs or any discs which are not the standard 12cm disc for recording, as the CC-222MKII cannot record on them. • Use only CD-RW media rated at 1x to 4x recording speed. Audio CD-RW media are generally unmarked, but fall within these limits. The CC222MKII cannot record on High Speed, Ultra Speed, and Ultra Speed+ CD-RW media.
1 – Introduction—About this manual About this manual In this manual, we use the following conventions: 3, “Cassette operations” Includes dubbing to • The names of keys and controls are given in the following typeface: ERASE. • When the alphanumeric portion of the display shows a message, this is shown in the following typeface: Welcome. • If a preset indicator in the display (i.e. one which cannot change, but is either on or off) is shown, this is shown as follows: RANDOM.
2 – Features and controls 0q w e i 1 23 4 5 6 7 8 9 r o z t p x This is not a comprehensive explanation of the meaning and functions of all of the controls. These are described more comprehensively in other parts of the manual, but this section provides a brief reminder of the functions provided by these controls. 1 Power switch (POWER) Push to turn on, and push again to turn the unit off. 2 Cassette holder Open this holder using the EJECT key.
2 – Features and controls—Rear panel features M OPEN/CLOSE key Opens and closes the disc tray. N DISPLAY key Changes the time display for the disc recording and playback.

2 – Features and controls—Remote control features g DIGITAL COAXIAL (INPUT and OUTPUT) jacks These RCA jacks accept LINE OUTPUTS 2 output both the signals from the (INPUT) and transmit (OUTPUT) SPDIF digital audio data to and from the disc recorder. disc recorder and the cassette deck. However, if both are playing, the cassette deck takes priority (the disc recorder will not be heard). Digital audio data received can be at 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.
2 – Features and controls—Remote control features E FADER key Used to perform automated fade-in and fade-out when recording to disc. The time is set using menu items. F PLAY MODE key Allows the selection of either normal, single, programmed or random playback. G INTRO CHECK Allows the first 10 seconds of every track on a disc to be played before automatically moving on to the next track to be played. H REPEAT key Enables or disables repeat mode (single track, or disc repeat playback) of the CD.
3 – Cassette operations NOTE Avoid touching the tape. Fingerprints attract dust and dirt. 2 Press the EJECT key to open the cassette compartment door. 3 Load the cassette tape with its open edge facing down. 4 Gently close the compartment door. NOTE *Notes: Note the following when loading tapes: 1 Use your finger or a pencil to turn the cassette's hub and take up any slack tape. The cassette holder cannot be opened during recording or playback.
3 – Cassette operations—Recording operations Recording operations NOTE 4 Set the Dolby NR system on or off. 5 Press the RECORD key. The deck enters record pause mode (the display indicators light). 6 Play back the source, and adjust the recording level with the INPUT level control so that the loudest sound to be recorded just makes the meters briefly reach around the “0 dB” point for normal or high-position tapes (recording is not possible with metal tapes).
3 – Cassette operations—Recording tapes from the PHONO deck The dubbing stops when playback reaches the end of the CD, or when the tape reaches the end of its run (one side in the case of single-sided (u) reverse mode, both sides in the j reverse mode), whichever comes first. Note that if the tape is set to auto-reverse, and the last item recorded on one side of a tape was not completely recorded before the tape was reversed, that item will be automatically repeated.
3 – Cassette operations—Other recording features 4 5 Start playback of the record. Start recording with either the PLAY or PAUSE key. Press STOP (cassette deck) to stop the recording. The STOP key is the only key which is enabled during phono recording. After the phono recording has finished, the original tape signal source is restored.
3 – Cassette operations—Other tape functions and features Fast forward and rewind The REW and FFWD keys (and their remote control equivalents) act as ordinary fast forward and rewind keys when pressed when the unit is stopped or paused. Search keys When the unit is playing back, the wind keys mentioned above act as Computer-controlled Program Search (CPS) keys, moving to the next (or previous) recorded item.
4 – CD player The CC-222MKII can be used to play back CDs (including CD-R and CD-RW discs that have been recorded and finalized on other types of recorder), as well as CD-R discs and CD-RW discs that have been recorded on the unit. Simple playback operations 1 Press the OPEN/CLOSE key to open the disc tray. 2 Discs should be inserted in the tray with the label uppermost. 3 Press the OPEN/CLOSE key to close the tray again. When a disc is loaded into the unit, the display briefly shows TOC Reading.
4 – CD player—Playback modes 2 To play a track whose number is higher than 9, press the +10 key an appropriate number of times to set the “tens” digit of the track number, followed by a single key to set the “units” digit. For example: Track 30 = +10, +10, +10, 0 NOTE On the remote control unit only, the search keys can be used to “fast-forward” and “fast-rewind” through the disc.
4 – CD player—Repeat play Clear the program by pressing PLAY MODE until the display shows Continue. The program is also cleared when the disc tray is opened, and if the STOP key is pressed when playback is stopped in programmed order mode. The programmed play order is not memorized when power is turned off. If an attempt is made to enter more than 25 program steps, the message PGM Full ! appears on the display.
4 – CD player—Auto spacing Auto spacing This function inserts a gap of about four seconds between tracks on playback. This can be useful when recording to tape, so that automatic searching can take place more easily on tapes recorded from disc (see “Search keys” on page 20). NOTE This function is only available from the remote control unit. It is not possible to use this function with the main unit only.
5 – Recording CDs Before you start recording using the CC-222MKII, make sure that you understand the following key points: • Once you have recorded on a CD-R disc, the data cannot be erased from it. • You can add tracks to an unfinalized recordable disc. Once finalized, a CD-R disc is “fixed” and behaves in the same way as a pre-recorded disc. Finalized CD-RW discs, however, can be erased, refreshed and re-recorded.
5 – Recording CDs—Basic recording Frequency conversion The sampling frequency for CDs is 44.1 kHz. The CC-222MKII will always record (and play back) CDs at this frequency. When recording digital signals, the sampling frequency will always be automatically converted to this value, except when recording from a CD, in which case the sampling frequency converter is automatically bypassed.
5 – Recording CDs—Dubbing from tape to disc Playing back tracks Although an unfinalized disc cannot be played back on an ordinary CD player, the CC-222MKII can play back tracks that have been recorded. Use the MULTI DIAL control or the SKIP keys to select a track for playback. Time display while recording While a recordable disc is being played back, the four time display modes available in normal playback as described in , “Time display modes”: TOTAL, TOTAL REMAIN, track REMAIN and elapsed track time.
5 – Recording CDs—From the RIAA PHONO inputs whichever is the earliest, the tape will stop, and recording will stop on the disc. If you want to adjust the input volume, set the DUB>VOL menu to ON and use the right (CD-RW) INPUT control to adjust the level of signals fed to the disc from the tape deck. If you wish to adjust the volume before recording starts, put the CD-RW into record ready or monitor mode and use the INPUT 1 SEL key to select TAPE.
5 – Recording CDs—Advanced recording During dubbing with auto track enabled, the trigger level (“Setting the trigger level” on page 29) is fixed at –24 dB and cannot be changed. This mode cannot be entered if a recordable disc is not loaded in the drive. It is also possible to perform manual recording to disc from the RIAA PHONO source.
5 – Recording CDs—Advanced recording Sync recording (start) The conditions under which an input signal is used as the trigger to start recording in the SYNC ALL and SYNC 1 modes are: • when recording digitally from a DAT deck, a digital track start signal is detected (the signal level is ignored): level • when recording from any source other than the ones described above (that is, any digital source other than DAT, CD or MD, or any analog source), recording starts when the input signal level exceeds the tr
5 – Recording CDs—Advanced recording Automatic track division The trigger level, as set above (“Synchronized recording” on page 29) can also be used to divide tracks if the A-TRACK (auto track) function is enabled.
5 – Recording CDs—Advanced recording NOTE This function is only available from the remote control unit. It is not possible to use this function with the main unit only. Fade-in and fade-out To provide smooth beginnings and endings to recorded tracks, the unit provides fade facilities. Fade-ins are from –∞ (silence) to the set input level (“Signal volume” on page 25) and fade-outs go from the current input volume to silence.
6 – After recording This section deals with the actions taken after recording: finalizing for CD-R and CD-RW discs, and erase operations for CD-RW discs. Once finalized, CD-R discs are truly final—no more can be recorded on them. By contrast, CD-RW discs can be “unfinalized” using the CC-222MKII, that is, their TOC can be deleted, and if there is space, further material can be recorded on them.
6 – After recording—Erasing 1 With the disc loaded, and the unit in stop mode, press the ERASE key. 2 If the display does not show ERASE XXXX?, where XX is the number of the last track recorded on the disc, turn the MULTI DIAL or use the SKIP keys until it is displayed. 3 Turn the MULTI DIAL or use the SKIP keys to change the number of the first track to be erased.
6 – After recording—Erasing display, and the timer starts counting down (XX:XX). The process takes about 40 minutes. You should note that sometimes the timer shown on the display is not always an accurate indicator of the time remaining before the operation is complete.
