Sony CC-222 Using the trigger level

5 – Recording CDs—Advanced recording

TASCAM CC-222 Owner’s Manual 29

Using the trigger level

The conditions under which an input signal is used as

the trigger to start recording are:

•when recording digitally, a digital start signal is

detected, and audio is subsequently detected

or

•the sound level rises above the threshold (see

below) after having been below the threshold for

one second or more. Note that the diagram below

represents a special case (the source is stopped or

paused) of the more general condition, as explained

later:

To start synchronized recording when the source is

stopped or in pause mode:

1The unit must be in record ready mode, and

the

SYNC

indicator in the display must be lit,

as explained above.

2Start playing the source. The pause indicator

disappears from the display, and the unit

starts recording.

The conditions under which synchronized recording

stops are:

•when recording digitally, an appropriate digital sig-

nal is detected. If the signal is detected from a CD,

the unit enters record ready mode after 2 seconds.

If the signal is detected from an MD, the unit enters

record ready mode immediately (note that the trig-

ger level is not used here):

or

•the sound level drops below the threshold level for

five seconds

If you set the threshold value so that only high-level

signals trigger recording, remember that this will not

record the start of a piece with a slow fade-in:

Also remember that when recording from an analog

source, the threshold should be set so that it is higher

than the “noise floor” (the base level of hiss, pops

and crackles which may come from an older vinyl

recording, for example).
