1- Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of the TASCAM CC-222MKIII CD Recorder/Cassette Deck.

Before connecting and using the unit, please take some time to read this manual thoroughly to ensure you understand how to properly set up and connect the CC-222MKIII, as well as the operation of its many use- ful and convenient functions. After you have finished reading this manual, please keep it in a safe place for future reference.

The CC-222MKIII provides you with an advanced sys- tem for the recording and playback of digital compact discs and analog cassettes, providing easy duplication facilities in both directions, and combining the most advanced technology in both fields.

Additional audio units, both analog and digital, can be connected easily through the rear panel connections, allowing the recording of other sources.

Additionally, the CC-222MKIII is fitted with a dedi- cated phono connection, which eliminates the need for an additional RIAA-equipped amplifier when archiving vinyl recordings.

TASCAM’s legendary attention to detail provides a high-quality full-featured cassette tape deck, complete with Dolby noise reduction circuitry.1

24-bit digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converters provide excellent recording and playback quality for the CD recorder.

A sampling frequency convertor is incorporated, allow- ing the recording of CDs from digital audio sources which are at frequencies other than the CD standard sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.

Disc track divisions can be entered manually, or can produced automatically as a response to the input signal level.

“One-touch” fade-ins and fade-outs over a specified time allow you to edit program material to your specific requirements.

A multi-function “multi dial” is used to set and confirm parameter settings.

A convenient wireless remote control unit provides additional functionality and permits the operation of the unit from a distance.
