TASCAM CC-222MKIII
Input monitoring
When the unit is in record standby mode, or record
mode, the input signal is output from the
OUTPUT
jacks
(digital and analog), allowing you to hear the input sig-
nal.
The meters also show the current signal level.
However, it is only possible to record, or to enter record
standby mode, when a recordable disc is inserted. To
allow monitoring of the input signal at other times, or
when the unit is stopped, use the
RECORD
key on the
main unit or remote control to enter monitor mode from
stop mode when there is no recordable disc in the unit
(when there is a recordable disc in the unit, pressing the
RECORD
key enters record standby mode).
The word
MONITOR
appears on the display to show that
the output signal is an echo of the input signal(s). The
meters show the current input level.
Exit the monitor mode by using the
STOP
key.
Before you start recording using the CC-222MKIII,
make sure that you understand the following key points:
Once you have recorded on a CD-R disc, the data
cannot be erased from it.
•
You can add tracks to an unfinalized recordable disc.
Once finalized, a CD-R disc is “fixed” and behaves
in the same way as a pre-recorded disc. Finalized
CD-RW discs, however, can be erased, refreshed and
re-recorded.

Input selection
To select the input to be recorded, press the
INPUT 1
SEL
key on the main unit.
Repeated presses of the key cycles through the follow-
ing options:
OPTICAL
Optical digital in
COAXIAL
Coaxial digital in
LINE 1
Analog in (LINE 1)
PHONO
Phono inputs
TAPE
CC-222MKIII cassette deck
In the case of either the coaxial or optical inputs being
selected, the appropriate indicator:
cOAXiAl
or
OPTicAl
,
lights on the right of the display.
If an analog signal is selected, the
liNe 1
or
TAPe
indicator
lights on the right of the display.
Signal volume
The analog signals received at the
LINE 1
jacks, the
RIAA PHONO
jacks and from the tape (if the input
volume is not being bypassed—see below) are con-
trolled with the CD deck’s
INPUT
control. When this
control is at the 12 o’clock position, the signal is nei-
ther cut nor boosted.
The level of the digital inputs may be controlled
using the digital volume menu, as described below.
1 Press the
RECORD
key to place the unit in re-
cord standby mode.
2 Repeatedly press the
MENU
key until the display
shows
VOLUME>XXXdB
where
XXX
is the current
setting.
3 Use the
MULTI DIAL
or
SKIP
keys to adjust the
•
•
input level. The maximum boost is +18 db, and
the signal may be cut by up to 60 dB. There is
also a
---
dB setting which represents a complete
signal cut.
NOTE
The digital volume menu can be used for analog
inputs, however, using the CD deck’s INPUT control
to adjust analog inputs with the digital volume set
to zero is recommended.
The level set for digital inputs is not applied to
analog inputs and vice versa. If analog inputs are
selected after setting digital input level, the set
value is ignored and the value previously set for
analog inputs returns.
recorded at a frequency other than 44.1 kHz, or is being
played back at a non-standard speed using a varispeed
unit, the CC-222MKIII’s internal frequency converter:
SRC (Sampling Rate Convertor), converts the incoming
frequency to 44.1 kHz.
The sampling frequency for CDs is 44.1 kHz. The
CC-222MKIII will always record (and play back) CDs
at this frequency.
However, if recording through a digital connection
