Fade-in and fade-out

To provide smooth beginnings and endings to recorded tracks, the unit provides fade facilities.

Fade-ins are from –∞ (silence) to the set input level (see “Signal volume” on page 21) and fade-outs go from the current input volume to silence.

The fade-in and fade-out times can be set indepen-dently in increments of one second, from 1 second to 24 seconds.

ªª To set the fade times:

1Press the MENU key repeatedly until the display shows FADE IN >XXs, where XXis the current fade-in time, in seconds.

2Turn the MULTI DIAL or use the SKIP keys to change the value of the fade-in time.

3Press the MENU key again so that the display shows FADE OUT>XXs, where XXis the current fade-out time, in seconds.

4Turn the MULTI DIAL or use the SKIP keys to change the value of the fade-out time.

It is possible to set the fade-in time only or the fadeout time only.

ªª To perform a fade-in:

1With a recordable disc loaded, press the RECORD key to enter record standby mode.

2Start the source material, and press the FADER key on the remote control.The display shows FADE INfor the time specified in the menu item above.

As the fade progresses, the monitored signal gradually becomes louder, reflecting the level recorded on disc.

ªª To perform a fade-out:

1While recording, press the FADER key. The displayshows FADE OUT for the time specified in the menu above.

As the fade progresses, the monitored signal gradually becomes quieter, reflecting the level recorded on disc.

2When the end of the fade-out time is reached, the unit goes into record standby mode. Recording can be restarted with the FADER key or the PLAY or

PAUSE keys.

The FADER key can be used and also the fade-in and fadeout times can be reset to new values while recording is in progress.

Rec mute function

The rec mute function allows instant cut-off of the input signal, and records four seconds of silence on the disc.

1While recording is in progress, press the REC MUTE key.2After about four seconds, the unit enters record standby mode.

NOTE

This function is only available from the remote control unit. It is not possible to use this function with the main unit only.

Copy-protection

The CC-222SLMKII allows copy-protection to be applied to the discs produced. Naturally, the copy-protection applies only to digital-to-digital copies.

2Turn the MULTI DIAL or use the SKIP keys to change the copy-protection setting.

NOTE

There are three settings:

•• FREE (may be freely copied), where no copy-protection is applied to the recorded disc.

•• 1GEN (single-generation copying), where one digital copy (“child”) can be made from the recorded disc, but no digital copies (“grandchildren”) can be made from the child.

•• PROH (copy prohibited) which prevents any digital copies being made from the recorded disc

1Press the MENU key repeatedly until the dis-play shows COPY ID>XXXX, where XXXXis the current setting for copy-protection as shown above.

Copy-protection applies on a “per-track”, not a per-disc basis. This means that you can apply different copy- protection levels to different tracks (but you can’t apply different copy-protection levels to different parts of the same track). If copy-protection is important to your work, you may want to check this setting every time you make a recording, to ensure that you have the protection level that you want.
