TASCAM  CC-222SL

 

Some notes, precautions and environmental considerations

The CC-222SL may be used in most areas, but to maintain 
top performance, and prolong operating life, observe the 
following notes, precautions and environmental conditions:

Avoid  exposing  it  to  extremes  of  temperature  and 
humidity and avoid mechanical shocks and vibration.
Keep  the  unit  away  from  strong  magnetic  fields  (TV 
sets, computer monitors, large electric motors, etc.).
The  nominal  temperature  should  be  between  5°C  and 
35°C (41°F and 95°F).
Relat ive  hu m id it y  shou ld  be  30  to  90  deg re e s 
non-condensing.
As  the  unit  may  become  hot  during  operation,  always 
leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation. Do 
not install this unit in a confined space such as a book 
case  or  similar  product,  and  do  not  put  any  material 
goods on the unit.

Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generating 
electrical device such as a power amplifier.
Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position for 
correct operation.
The voltage selector on the rear panel is only available 
on units for the North American market. Please set this 
to  match  your  local  supply.  If  you  are  in  any  doubt  in 
this matter, consult an electrician.

NOTE

When transporting the unit, always use the original 
packing materials. For this reason, we strongly recom-
mend that you save all the packing materials that came 
with the CC-222SL, in case you need to transport it in 
the future.

Beware of condensation

If the unit (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a 
warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change, 
there is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could 
condense on the internal mechanism, making correct oper-
ation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the 
player sit for one or two hours

 

at the new room temperature 

before using.

Never use a stabilizer or printable discs

Using commercially available CD stabilizers or printable 
recordable discs with this player will damage the mecha-
nism and cause it to malfunction.

NOTE

Never use a disc that has had a stabilizer mounted to 
it. The residual adhesive may cause the disc to stick to 
the turntable of the CC-222SL. If it sticks to the turn-
table, you will need a technician to get it out.

Rack-mounting the unit

If you are mounting the unit in a rack, leave 1U of space 
above it and 4 inch (10cm) or more of space at the rear.

Use the rack-mounting kit to mount the unit in a standard 
19-inch equipment rack, as shown in this section. Remove 
the feet of the unit before mounting.
