1- Introduction
TASCAM CC-222SL
In this manual, we use the term “recordable” disc to
describe a CD-R or CD-RW disc that has not been final-
ized, i.e. further recording is possible on the disc.
“Recordable” discs
About finalizing
Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or CD-RW
disc, a standard CD player will not be able to read the
data (i.e. play back the audio) until a final TOC2 (Table of
contents) has been written at the start of the disc.
The process of writing this table of contents is known as
“finalizing”. Once this has been done, no further data can
be written to the disc. See “Finalizing” on page 27 for
details. In the case of a CD-RW disc which has been final-
ized, the whole of the disc may be erased, or the disc may
be “refreshed”, and the disc re-used.
In addition, a CD-RW disc that has been finalized may be
“unfinalized”, i.e. only the TOC is removed. This allows
further tracks to be recorded to the disc, provided that
there is space on the disc.
2. TOC: Information of recorded data, which con-
tains titles, starting and ending addresses,
and etc..
When labeling CD-R and CD-RW discs, always use a
soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information.
Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may
cause damage to the recorded side.
Always keep the recording sides of the discs away from
grime and dust to avoid a reduction in sound quality.
To clean a disc, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth from
the center towards the outside edge. Do not use thinner,
gasoline, benzene or LP cleaning fluid, as these will
damage the disc and cause the disc unplayable.

Do not put labels or protective sheets on the discs and
do not use any protective coating spray.
If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a
CD-R and CD-RW discs, read the precautions supplied
with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.

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.

As C-120 tapes are mechanically weak, and could become
entangled in the transport mechanism, we do not recom-
mend their use.
