6 – After recording—Erasing
TASCAM CC-222 Owner’s Manual 35
Erasing tracks
It is possible to erase the last recorded track, the last
two recorded tracks, the last three recorded tracks,
etc. It is not, however, possible to erase tracks in the
“middle” of the disc.
1With the disc loaded, and the unit in stop
mode, press the ERASE key.
2If the display does not show ERASE XX-
XX?, where XX is the number of the last
track recorded on the disc, turn the MULTI
DIAL or use the SKIP keys until it is
displayed.
3Turn the MULTI DIAL or use the SKIP keys to
change the number of the first track to be
erased. The highest value that this number
can take is the last track recorded (for exam-
ple, if 17 tracks have been recorded on the
disc, 17-17 means that the last track only,
number 17, will be erased). The lowest value
that this number can take is 2 (if this num-
ber was 1, the whole disc would be erased, as
described below).
If you do not want to proceed with the erase
operation, press any other key (such as the
STOP key).
NOTE
If only one track has been recorded on the disc, only the
“erase disc” option (, “Erasing a whole disc”) is avail-
able.
4When the range of tracks to be erased has
been selected, press the MULTI DIAL or the
ENTER key.
NOTE
This operation cannot be undone. If you are going to
erase a track or tracks, make sure that they are record-
ings that you really want to erase!
If the erase operation has been selected, the
word ERASE flashes on the display, and the
timer starts counting down.
At the end of the countdown period, the word
Complete appears briefly on the display,
and the display returns to the track/time
display.
Erasing a whole disc
When you want to erase a whole disc (all the tracks
on a disc), follow the procedure below:
1With the disc loaded, and the unit in stop
mode, press the ERASE key.
2Turn the MULTI DIAL or use the SKIP keys
until the display shows ERASE DISC?.
If you do not want to proceed with the erase
operation, press any other key (such as the
STOP key).
3To erase the contents of the disc, press the
MULTI DIAL or the ENTER key.
NOTE
This operation cannot be undone. If you are going to
erase a disc, make sure that it contains only recordings
that you really want to erase!
If the erase operation has been selected, the
word ERASE flashes on the display, and the
timer starts counting down a time value
shown on the display.
At the end of the countdown period, the word
Complete appears briefly on the display,
and the display returns to the track/time
display.
Refreshing a disc
If a CD-RW disc has been corrupted at any point (e.g.
power has been cut off in the middle of a finalize
operation, etc.), or has been used in a computer or
another piece of equipment that makes it unreadable,
it is possible to “refresh” the disc to make it usable
again. This is equivalent to formatting a disk on a
computer to prepare it for use. This operation
destroys all data on the disc.
1With the disc loaded, and the unit in stop
mode, press the ERASE key.
2Turn the MULTI DIAL or use the SKIP keys
until the display shows DISC REFRESH.
3To refresh the disc, press the MULTI DIAL or
the ENTER key.
