Rec mute function
The rec mute function allows instant cut-off of the input
signal, and records four seconds of silence on the disc.
1 While recording is in progress, press the
REC
MUTE key.
2 After about four seconds, the unit enters record
standby mode.
NOTE
This function is only available from the remote control
unit. It is not possible to use this function with the main
unit only.
Copy-protection
The CC-222SL
MK
II 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 different 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 protec-
tion 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 21) 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.
ª
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.
ª
To perform a fade-in:
1 With a recordable disc loaded, press the RECORD
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.
ª
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 gradu-
ally 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. Recording 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 recording is in
progress.
