5 – Recording CDs

Before you start recording using the CC-222MKII,
make sure that you understand the following key
points:

• Once you have recorded on a CD-R disc, the data

cannot be erased from it.

• You can add tracks to an unfinalized recordable

disc. Once finalized, a CD-R disc is “fixed” and
behaves in the same way as a pre-recorded disc.
Finalized CD-RW discs, however, can be erased,
refreshed and re-recorded.

Input selection

To select the input to be recorded, press the

INPUT 1

SEL

key on the main unit while not recording or in

record pause or monitor modes.

Repeated presses of the key cycle through the follow-
ing options:

In the case of either the coaxial or optical inputs
being selected, the appropriate indicator:

COAXIAL

or

OPTICAL

, lights on the display.

If any of the analog signals is selected, the

LINE 1

or

TAPE

indicator lights on the display.

Signal volume

• The analog signals received at the

LINE 1

jacks, the

RIAA PHONO

jacks and the tape (if the input vol-

ume is not being bypassed—see below) are con-
trolled with the CD deck’s

INPUT

control.

• When this control is at the 12 o’clock position, the

signal is neither cut nor boosted. Since this control
also affects the digital input volume, we suggest
that when recording digital signals, this control is
set to this position.

• The level of the digital inputs may then be con-

trolled using the digital volume menu, as described
below.

1

Press the

RECORD

key to place the unit in

record ready mode.

2

Repeatedly press the

MENU

key until the dis-

play shows

VOLUME XXXdB

where

XXX

is the current setting.

3

Use the

MULTI DIAL

or the

SKIP

keys to

adjust the input level. The maximum boost is
+18 dB (relative to the original input level),
and the signal may be cut by up to 60 dB.
There is also a

----

setting which repre-

sents a complete signal cut.

Input monitoring

When the unit is in record ready, or record mode, the
input signal is output from the

OUT

jacks (digital and

analog), allowing you to hear the input signal.

The meters also show the current signal level.

However, it is only possible to record, or to enter
record ready mode, when a recordable disc is
inserted. To allow monitoring of the input signal at
other times, or when the unit is stopped, use the

RECORD

key on the main unit or remote control to

enter monitor mode from stop mode when there is no
recordable disc in the unit (when there is a recordable
disc in the unit, pressing the

RECORD

key enters

record ready mode).

The word

MONITOR

appears on the display to

show that the output signal is an echo of the input
signal(s). The meters show the current input level.

Exit the monitor mode by using the

STOP

key.
