1- Introduction TASCAM CC-222SL5 – Recording CDsRestricting the number of tracksWhen making a recording, it is possible to restrict thenumber of tracks that may be recorded at one time.At any time within record or record standby mode, turn theMULTI DIAL control or use the SKIP keys.This sets the number of remaining tracks, as shown to theright of the time display.The maximum number can be entered is 99 tracksEvery time a track division is made, the number shown atthe right of the display goes down by one.The number of remaining tracks can be changed duringrecording using the MULTI DIAL control.Playing back tracksAlthough an unfinalized disc cannot be played back on anordinary CD player, the CC-222SL can play back tracksthat have been recorded. Use the MULTI DIAL control orthe SKIP keys to select a track for playback.NOTEBecause of the background noise often experiencedwhen playing back analog vinyl recordings, the use ofthe following features is not recommended in the phonorecording mode even though they are available: triggerlevel, sync recording and automatic track division.To record to disc from an external record player con-nectedto the RIAA PHONO INPUT jacks:1 Load a recordable disc and put the unit in stop mode.2 Press the MENU key until the PHONO > XXXmenu item is shown.Turn the MULTI DIAL (or press the SKIP keys on theremote control) to select DISC. Prepare to play therecord on the external record player.3 Press the PHONO key. The iNPuT 1, PhONO indicatorlights on the display, and the disc recorder entersrecord standby mode.4 Start playing back the record.5 Start recording on the disc by pressing the discPLAY key.The level can be adjusted using the CD deck’s IN-PUT control.Recording will stop when the recording time on thedisc ends, or when the disc STOP key is pressed.Also, the RIAA PHONO input source will be canceled.NOTEOnly the disc STOP key is enabled in this phonorecording mode. The RECORD key therefore cannot beused for manual track increments (see”Manually divide track” on page 25). If you want to usemanual track division, use the normal recording proce-dure, with the phono inputs selected as the source.This mode cannot be entered if a recordable disc isnot loaded in the drive.It is also possible to perform manual recording to disc fromthe RIAA PHONO INPUT source. This is the same as thestandard manual recording procedure (“Basic recording”on page 21), except that the PhONO input option should beselected using the INPUT 1 SEL key before recording starts.Recording to disc from the RIAA PHONO inputsFull discIf the disc becomes full during recording, the unit willautomatically insert a fade-out. For example:When record-ing a long program, just before the end of the disc isreached, the unit starts a fade-out over four seconds andthe display will show Fade Out.When the fade-out has finished, the display shows DiscFull!. Press the STOP key to exit.If the disc is a CD-RW, the final track can be erased, ifrequired (see “Erasing” on page 27) and the disc then final-ized. If the disc is a CD-R, it must be finalized prior to use(see “Finalizing” on page 27).During recording, three options are available for the timedisplay modes.When in record or record standby mode, repeated pressesof the DISPLAY key cycles through displaying the remain-ing time left for recording on the disc (TOTAL REMAIN),the elapsed time of the track currently being recorded (noindicator lit) and the total time recorded on the disc (TOTAL).NOTEIn record mode, REMAIN shows the same time displayas TOTAL REMAIN.Time display while recording
