The CC-222MKII is the world's first CD recorder and cassette recorder combo deck, bringing the two most popular consumer media formats in one very affordable package. The two decks can be used independently, perhaps for playback of material on one deck while the other deck is recording. Or, you can use both decks for continuous play between the two decks.

The cassette deck provides Dolby B Noise Reduction for better sounding recordings. A ±12% pitch control allows for varied speeds during recording or playback. This is ideal for performers, allowing them to adjust pitch and tempo to suit their needs.

Each deck offers analogue inputs and outputs on unbalanced RCAs, allowing truly independent operation. Digital I/O for the CD recorder is provided on SPDIF coax and optical ports. As a bonus, the CC-222MKII is equipped with an RIAA phono input which allows direct connection of a turntable for creating CD or cassette masters of your favorite LPs. For ease of operation a wireless remote control is included.
