1 – Introduction—Finalizing

Do not use 8cm (single) discs, “business card” discs or any discs which are not the standard 12cm disc for recording, as the CC-222MKII cannot record on them.

Use only CD-RW media rated at 1x to 4x recording speed. Audio CD-RW media are generally unmarked, but fall within these limits. The CC- 222MKII cannot record on High Speed, Ultra Speed, and Ultra Speed+ CD-RW media.

Never use a stabilizer or printable discs

Using commercially available CD stabilizers or printable recordable discs with this player will dam- age the mechanism and cause it to malfunction.

NOTE

Never use a disc that has had a stabilizer mounted to it. The residual adhesive may cause the disc to stick to the mechanism of the CC-222MKII. If it sticks to the mecha- nism, you will need a technician to get it out.

Recommended media

An up-to-date list of manufacturers who produce media suitable for use in the CC-222MKII can be obtained from your TASCAM dealer.

Use of the remote control unit

When using the remote control unit, make sure:

There is a clear unobstructed path between the remote control unit and the remote sensor on the main unit.

The remote control unit is located within 5 m

(15 ft.) of the main unit, and is pointing at approxi- mately right angles (±30°) to the front panel.

When fitting or replacing the batteries:

Always make sure that both batteries are replaced together. Do not mix old and new batteries.

Do not mix batteries of different types.

Always make sure that the batteries are located with the correct polarity (the positive terminals of the batteries should match the + markings inside the battery compartment, and the negative termi- nals should match the markings).

If you are not going to use the remote control unit for an extended period of time, remove the batter- ies. Old batteries can leak, causing damage to the remote control unit.

Always dispose of old batteries in the way recom- mended by your local garbage disposal authorities.
