5 – Recording CDs

Before you start recording using the CC-222MKII, 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 while not recording or in record pause or monitor modes.

Repeated presses of the key cycle through the follow- ing options:

OPTICAL

Optical digital in

 

 

COAXIAL

Coaxial digital in

 

 

LINE1

Analog in (LINE 1)

 

 

PHONO

Phono inputs

 

 

TAPE

In the case of either the coaxial or optical inputs being selected, the appropriate indicator: COAXIAL or OPTICAL, lights on the display.

If any of the analog signals is selected, the LINE 1 or TAPE indicator lights on the display.

Signal volume

•The analog signals received at the LINE 1 jacks, the RIAA PHONO jacks and the tape (if the input vol- ume 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 neither cut nor boosted. Since this control also affects the digital input volume, we suggest that when recording digital signals, this control is set to this position.

•The level of the digital inputs may then be con- trolled using the digital volume menu, as described below.

1Press the RECORD key to place the unit in record ready mode.

2Repeatedly press the MENU key until the dis- play shows VOLUME XXXdB where XXX is the current setting.

3Use the MULTI DIAL or the SKIP keys to adjust the input level. The maximum boost is +18dB (relative to the original input level), and the signal may be cut by up to 60dB. There is also a ----setting which repre- sents a complete signal cut.

Input monitoring

When the unit is in record ready, or record mode, the input signal is output from the OUT jacks (digital and analog), allowing you to hear the input signal.

The meters also show the current signal level.

However, it is only possible to record, or to enter record ready 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 ready 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.
