Copy-protection
The CC-222MKIII allows copy-protection to be applied
to the discs produced. Naturally, the copy-protection
applies only to digital-to-digital copies.
There are three settings:
FREE (may be freely copied), where no copy-pro-
tection is applied to the recorded disc.
1GEN (single-generation copying), where one digital
copy (“child”) can be made from the recorded disc,
but no digital copies (“grandchildren”) can be made
from the child.
PROH (copy prohibited) which prevents any digital
copies being made from the recorded disc
1 Press the MENU key repeatedly until the dis-play

shows
COPY ID>XXXX
, where
XXXX
is the current
setting for copy-protection as shown above.
2 Turn the MULTI DIAL or use the SKIP keys to
change the copy-protection setting.
NOTE
Copy-protection applies on a “per-track”, not a per-
disc basis. This means that you can apply different
copy-protection levels to different tracks (but you
can’t apply different copy-protection levels to dif-
ferent parts of the same track). If copy-protection is
important to your work, you may want to check this
setting every time you make a recording, to ensure
that you have the protection level that you want.
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 (see
“Signal volume” on page 20) and fade-outs go from the
current input volume to silence.
The fade-in and fade-out times can be set indepen-
dently in increments of one second, from 1 second to 24
seconds.
To set the fade times:
1 Press the MENU key repeatedly until the display
shows
FADE IN > XXs
, where
XX
is the current
fade-in time, in seconds.
2 Turn the MULTI DIAL or use the SKIP keys to
change the value of the fade-in time.
3 Press the MENU key again so that the display
shows
FADE OUT> XXs
, where
XX
is the current
fade-out time, in seconds.
4 Turn the MULTI DIAL or use the SKIP keys to
change the value of the fade-out time.
It is possible to set the fade-in time only or the
fade-out time only.
To perform a fade-in:
1 With a recordable disc loaded, press the RE-
ª
ª
CORD key to enter record standby mode.
2 Start the source material, and press the FADER
key on the remote control.
The display shows
FADE IN
for the time specified
in the menu item above.
As the fade progresses, the monitored signal
gradually becomes louder, reflecting the level
recorded on disc.
To perform a fade-out:
1 While recording, press the FADER key. The
display shows
FADE OUT
for the time specified in
the menu above.
As the fade progresses, the monitored signal
gradually becomes quieter, reflecting the level
recorded on disc.
2 When the end of the fade-out time is reached,
the unit goes into record standby mode. Record-
ing can be restarted with the
FADER key or the
PLAY or PAUSE keys.
The FADER key can be used and also the fade-in and
fade-out times can be reset to new values while record-
ing is in progress.
