TASCAM CC-222MKII Owner’s Manual
29
During dubbing with auto track enabled, the trigger
level (“Setting the trigger level” on page 29) is fixed at
–24 dB and cannot be changed.
This mode cannot be entered if a recordable disc is not
loaded in the drive.
It is also possible to perform manual recording to
disc from the
RIAA PHONO source. This is the same
as the standard manual recording procedure (“Basic
recording” on page 26), except that the
PHONO input
option should be selected ( INPUT 1 SEL key) before
recording starts.
NOTE
It is not possible to make manual recordings from the
RIAA PHONO source to tape.
Advanced recording
These sections cover more advanced recording
techniques.
Setting the trigger level
The signal level which may be used with synchro-
nized recording operations (here called the “trigger
level” or “threshold”) is set as below:
1 With a recordable disc loaded, press the MENU
key until the display shows: S_LVL>>
xxdB , where xx is the current value.
2 Turn the MULTI JOG control or use the SKIP
keys to change the value between -24 , -30 ,
-36 , -42 , -48 , -54 , -60 , -66 , and
-72 dB.
Low numerical values of this setting (towards –24)
mean that it takes a louder signal to trigger the start
of the synchronized recording. A high numerical
value (towards –72) means that a relatively quiet sig-
nal will trigger the start of recording.
NOTE
When dubbing from tape to disc (“Dubbing from tape
to disc” on page 27) and auto track enabled, this level is
fixed at –30 dB. When dubbing from a
RIAA PHONO
source with auto track on, the level is fixed at –24 dB.
Synchronized recording
Synchronized recording basically means that record-
ing will begin automatically when a signal is
received, and will stop when the signal ends.
Use the SYNC REC key to select the synchronization
mode. The synchronization mode determines the
automated start and stopping of recording when a
signal is received.
Repeated presses of this key cycle through the fol-
lowing modes:
• SYNC ALL
• SYNC 1
• SYNC OFF
as shown in the display.
To enable or disable synchronized recording:
1 A recordable disc must be loaded.
2 Press the SYNC REC key to select SYNC
ALL or SYNC 1 .
3 Press the RECORD key.
4 Start playback of the source.
Starting playback of the source automatically starts
recording on the CC-222MKII if
SYNC ALL or
SYNC 1 has been selected (see “Sync recording
(start)” on page 30) and manual record start is dis-
abled. If
SYNC OFF is selected, the recording
must be started manually.
Note that the PAUSE key cannot be used to pause
synchronized recording.
The sync modes are related to the trigger level (as
explained above).
