About tapes

Do not store tapes in the following places:

•On top of heaters, exposed to direct sunlight, or in any other places with high temperatures.

•Near speakers, on TV sets or amplifiers or where they would be exposed to strong magnetic fields.

•Where humidity is high, or in dirty, dusty places.

•Avoid dropping or subjecting cassettes to excessive shocks.

As C-120 tapes are mechanically weak, and could become entangled in the transport mechanism, we do not recommend their use.

For the automatic tape selection function to work properly, metal and high position (cobalt) tapes must have the appropriate identification holes.

Note that Type I (normal), Type II (high-position/ chrome) and Type IV (metal) tapes can be played back. Recording is possible with Type I (normal) and Type II (high-position/chrome) tapes.

About CD-R and CD-RW discs

The CC-222MKII uses CD-R and CD-RW media, and can also use CD-R and CD-RW Digital Audio media.

In this manual, when we refer to “CD-R” and “CD- RW” discs, we always include “CD-R Digital Audio” and “CD-RW Digital Audio”, even when this is not explicitly stated.

CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they have been used for recording, they cannot be erased or re-recorded. However, if space is available on the disc, additional material can be recorded. The pack- aging of CD-R discs will include one of the follow- ing logos:

By contrast, a CD-RW disc can be used in much the same way as a CD-R disc, but the last track or tracks

recorded can be erased before the disc has been “finalized”, and the space on the disc can be re- used for other recordings. The packaging of CD-RW discs will include one of the following logos:

However, you should note that an audio CD created using a CD-RW disc may not play back satisfactorily on every audio CD player. It will, naturally, be play- able on the CC-222MKII. This is in no way a limita- tion of the CC-222MKII itself, but of the difference between the different types of media and the methods used to read them.

CD-R discs created on the CC-222MKII, by contrast, may be played satisfactorily on the majority of audio CD players.

Finalizing

Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or CD-RW disc, a standard CD player will not be able to read the data (i.e. play back the audio) until a final table of contents (TOC) has been written at the start of the disc.

The process of writing this table of contents is known as “finalizing”. Once this has been done, no further data can be written to the disk. See “Finalizing” on page 33 for details.

In the case of a CD-RW disc which has been final- ized, the whole of the disc may be erased, or the disc may be “refreshed”, and the disc re-used.

In addition, a CD-RW disc that has been finalized may be “unfinalized”, i.e. the TOC is removed. This allows further tracks to be recorded to the disc, pro- vided that there is space on the disc.
