1- Introduction
TASCAM CC-222MKIII
Some notes, precautions and environmental considerations
The CC-222MKIII may be used in most areas, but to
maintain top performance, and prolong operating life,
observe the following notes, precautions and environ-
mental 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).
Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 degrees 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-generat-
ing 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 avail-
able 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 origi-
nal packing materials. For this reason, we strongly
recommend that you save all the packing materials
that came with the CC-222MKIII, in case you need
to transport it in the future.
In addition, when transporting the unit, you should
tape the disc tray closed, using an adhesive tape
that will not spoil the finish of the unit.

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
operation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs,
leave the player for one or two hours with the power
turned on, then turn the power off and on again.
Never use a stabilizer or printable discs
Using commercially available CD stabilizers or print-
able recordable discs with this player will damage the
mechanism 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-222MKIII. If it sticks
to the turntable, 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 stan-
dard 19-inch equipment rack, as shown in this section.
Remove the feet of the unit before mounting.
