Restricting the number of tracks
When making a recording, it is possible to restrict the
number of tracks that may be recorded at one time.
At any time within record or record standby mode, turn the
MULTI DIAL
control or use the
SKIP
keys.
This sets the number of remaining tracks, as shown to the
right of the time display.
The maximum number can be entered is 99 tracks
Every time a track division is made, the number shown at
the right of the display goes down by one.
The number of remaining tracks can be changed during
recording using the
MULTI DIAL
control.
Playing back tracks
Although an unfinalized disc cannot be played back on an
ordinary CD player, the CC-222
MK
IV can play back tracks
that have been recorded. Use the MULTI DIAL control or
the SKIP keys to select a track for playback.
NOTE
Because of the background noise often experienced
when playing back analog vinyl recordings, the use of
the following features is not recommended in the phono
recording mode even though they are available: trigger
level, sync recording and automatic track division.
To record to disc from an external record player con-nected
to the
RIAA PHONO INPUT
jacks:
1 Load a recordable disc and put the unit in stop mode.
2 Press the
MENU
key until the
PHONO>XXX
menu
item is shown.
Turn the
MULTI DIAL
(or press the
SKIP
keys on the
remote control) to select
DISC
. Prepare to play the
record on the external record player.
3 Press the
PHONO
key. The
INPUT 1
,
PHONO
indicator
lights on the display, and the disc recorder enters
record standby mode.
4 Start playing back the record.
5 Start recording on the disc by pressing the disc
PLAY
key.
The level can be adjusted using the CD deck’s
IN-
PUT
control.
Recording will stop when the recording time on the
disc ends, or when the disc
STOP
key is pressed.
Also, the
RIAA PHONO
input source will be canceled.
NOTE
Only the disc STOP key is enabled in this phono
recording mode. The RECORD key therefore cannot be
used for manual track increments (see
”Manually divide track” on page 26). If you want to use
manual track division, use the normal recording proce-
dure, with the phono inputs selected as the source.
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 INPUT
source. This is the same as the
standard manual recording procedure (“Basic recording”
on page 22), except that the
PHONO
input option should be
selected using the
INPUT 1 SEL
key before recording starts.

Full disc
If the disc becomes full during recording, the unit will
automatically insert a fade-out. For example:When record-
ing a long program, just before the end of the disc is
reached, the unit starts a fade-out over four seconds and
the display will show
Fade Out
.
When the fade-out has finished, the display shows
Disc
Full!
. Press the
STOP
key to exit.
If the disc is a CD-RW, the final track can be erased, if
required (see “Erasing” on page 28) and the disc then final-
ized. If the disc is a CD-R, it must be finalized prior to use
(see “Finalizing” on page 28).
During recording, three options are available for the time
display modes.
When in record or record standby mode, repeated presses
of the
DISPLAY
key cycles through displaying the remain-
ing time left for recording on the disc (
TOTAL REMAIN
),
the elapsed time of the track currently being recorded (no
indicator lit) and the total time recorded on the disc (
TOTAL
).
NOTE
In record mode, REMAIN shows the same time display
as TOTAL REMAIN.
