[. . . ] D00822500A CD Recorder/Cassette Deck OWNER'S MANUAL Please note that to simplify the description, the model number is given in the Quick Start Guide as "CC-222" rather than "CC-222MKII". Ü ÿ Y This appliance has a serial number located on the rear panel. Please record the model number and serial number and retain them for your records. Model number Serial number CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. [. . . ] With the tape moving, the record source is muted for about four seconds (the display record indicator flashes), and the deck then enters record pause mode. If the REC MUTE key is pressed while the deck is in record pause mode, four seconds of silence will be recorded on the tape, and the deck will return to record pause mode. If the REC MUTE key is held and pressed for longer than four seconds while recording is in progress, silence is recorded on the tape while the key is held down. The deck enters record pause mode when the key is released. Erasing tapes Anything previously recorded on the tape will automatically be erased when you make a new recording on it. It can also be erased by "recording" on it with the INPUT level control set to "0". Other tape functions and features Tape counter The tape counter value is incremented when the tape is moving from left to right, and decremented when it moves from right to left. Use either of the RESET keys (main or remote) to reset the value to 0000. When the counter has been set to 0000, this position can be reached easily by pressing either of the RTZ keys (main or remote). The tape fast forwards or fast rewinds to the 0000 mark. NOTE If the current tape position is too close to the 0000 mark (greater than 9995 or less than 0005), this function does not work. Pitch control The tape speed, and hence the pitch of the recording can be controlled using the PITCH CONTROL. Turning this to the right of the center position results in faster tape speed (higher pitch) and turning it to the left of the center position results in slower tape speed (lower pitch). The center "neutral" position is marked by a click detent. TASCAM CC-222MKII Owner's Manual 19 3 ­ Cassette operations--Other tape functions and features Fast forward and rewind The REW and FFWD keys (and their remote control equivalents) act as ordinary fast forward and rewind keys when pressed when the unit is stopped or paused. Search keys When the unit is playing back, the wind keys mentioned above act as Computer-controlled Program Search (CPS) keys, moving to the next (or previous) recorded item. To locate items correctly, there must be at least four seconds of silence between these items (see "Recording silences between items" on page 19). Repeated presses of these keys will search forward or backward by the appropriate number of items. The tape counter value is replaced by CPxx if searching forward, and CP­xx when searching backwards. Note that the terms "forwards" and "backwards" here are relative to the currently-selected play position. If a key are pressed too many times, so that a search is being made for the wrong item, pressing the "opposite" key corrects the mistake. NOTE This function depends on the presence of 4-second silent intervals on tape. If these intervals are too short, or not truly silent, the search function will not work properly. Also note that this function can be "confused" by the presence of longer quiet or relatively silent passages in programs (e. g. spoken word drama or classical music). 20 TASCAM CC-222MKII Owner's Manual 4 ­ CD player The CC-222MKII can be used to play back CDs (including CD-R and CD-RW discs that have been recorded and finalized on other types of recorder), as well as CD-R discs and CD-RW discs that have been recorded on the unit.
