Rack-mounting the unit
1 – Introduction—Some notes and precautions
Use the rack-mounting kit to mount the unit in a standard 19-inch equipment rack, as shown below.
Remove the feet of the unit before mounting it.
Environmental considerations
The CC-222 may be used in most areas, but to maintain top performance, and prolong operating life,
observe the following environmental conditions:
The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and
35°C (41°F and 95°F). The CC-222 is more sensitive
to extremes of temperature than ordinary CD players.
Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 degrees noncondensing.
As the unit may become hot during operation, always
leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation.
If you are mounting the unit in a rack, leave 1U of
space above it. Allow at least 10 cm (4 in) at the rear
of the unit for ventilation.
You should not place the unit on a piece of equipment generating heat, e.g. an amplifier, to avoid possible problems with overheating.
See “Environmental considerations” on page 7 below
for details of ventilation, etc.
Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position
for correct operation. Do not mount the unit in a rack
tilted 5° or more from the vertical position.
NOTE
If the mounting surface is more than 5 degrees away
from the horizontal, the tray will not open or close.
The voltage supplied to the unit should match the
voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any
doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.
NOTE
When transporting the unit, always use the original
packing materials. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you save all the packing materials that came
with the CC-222, in case you need to transport it in the
future.
In addition, when transporting the unit, you should
tape the disc tray closed, using an adhesive tape that
will not spoil the finish of the unit.
Beware of condensation
If the unit (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold
to a warm place, or used after a sudden temperature
change, there is a danger of condensation; vapor in
the air could condense on the internal mechanism,
About tapes
Do not store tapes in the following places:
• On top of heaters, exposed to direct sunlight, or in
any other places with high temperatures.
• Near speakers, on TV sets or amplifiers or where
they would be exposed to strong magnetic fields.
making correct operation impossible. To prevent this,
or if this occurs, leave the player for one or two hours
with the power turned on, then turn the power off and
on again.
• Where humidity is high, or in dirty, dusty places.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting cassettes to excessive
shocks.
As C-120 tapes are mechanically weak, and could
become entangled in the transport mechanism, we do
not recommend their use.
TASCAM CC-222 Owner’s Manual 7
1 – Introduction—Finalizing
For the automatic tape selection function to work
properly, metal and high position (cobalt) tapes must
have the appropriate identification holes.
About CD-R and CD-RW discs
The CC-222 uses CD-R and CD-RW media, and can
also use CD-R and CD-RW Digital Audio media.
In this manual, when we refer to “CD-R” and CDRW” discs, we always include “CD-R Digital Audio”
and “CD-RW Digital Audio”, even when this is not
explicitly stated.
CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they
have been used for recording, they cannot be erased
or re-recorded. However, if space is available on the
disc, additional material can be recorded. The packaging of CD-R discs will include one of the following logos:
Note that Type I (normal), Type II (high-position/
chrome) and Type IV (metal) tapes can be played
back. Recording is possible with Type I (normal) and
Type II (high-position/chrome) tapes.
recorded can be erased before the disc has been
“finalized”, and the space on the disc can be re- used
for other recordings. The packaging of CD-RW discs
will include one of the following logos:
However, you should note that an audio CD created
using a CD-RW disc may not play back satisfactorily
on every audio CD player. It will, naturally, be playable on the CC-222. This is in no way a limitation of
the CC-222 itself, but of the difference between the
different types of media and the methods used to read
them.
By contrast, a CD-RW disc can be used in much the
same way as a CD-R disc, but the last track or tracks
Finalizing
Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or
CD-RW disc, a standard CD player will not be able
to read the data (i.e. play back the audio) until a final
table of contents (TOC) has been written at the start
of the disc.
The process of writing this table of contents is known
as “finalizing”. Once this has been done, no further
data can be written to the disk. See “Finalizing” on
page 34 for details.
“Recordable” discs
In this manual, we use the term “recordable” disc to
describe a CD-R or CD-RW disc that has not been
CD-R discs created on the CC-222, by contrast, may
be played satisfactorily on the majority of audio CD
players.
In the case of a CD-RW disc which has been finalized, the whole of the disc may be erased, or the disc
may be “refreshed”, and the disc re-used.
In addition, a CD-RW disc that has been finalized
may be “unfinalized”, i.e. the TOC is removed. This
allows further tracks to be recorded to the disc, provided that there is space on the disc.
finalized, i.e. further recording is possible on the
disc.
8 TASCAM CC-222 Owner’s Manual
Handling of compact discs
1 – Introduction—Finalizing
Observe the following:
• Always place compact discs in the tray with their
label facing upward (compact discs can only be
played on one side).
• To remove a disc from its storage case, press down
on the center of the case, and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.
• Finger marks and dust should be carefully wiped
off the disc’s recorded surface with a soft cloth.
Unlike conventional records, the compact disc has
no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris,
so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove
most particles.
• Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the
outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light
stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.
• Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean
compact discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable
damage to the disc’s plastic surface.
• Discs should be returned to their cases after use to
avoid serious scratches that could cause the laser
pickup to “skip”.
• Don’t expose discs to direct sunlight or high
humidity and temperature for extended periods.
Long exposure to high temperature can warp the
disc.
• Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using noncircular promotional, etc. discs.
• To keep the laser pickups clean, don’t touch them.
For the same reason, don’t leave the disc trays
opened unnecessarily.
Additional notes with regard to CD-R and CD-RW discs
There are additional precautions that you should take
when handling CD-R and CD-RW discs, that are different to those that you should take when handling
ordinary CDs.
• Avoid touching the recording (non-label) side of a
disc on which you will be recording. Recording on
a disc requires a cleaner surface than playing back,
and fingerprints, grease, etc. can cause errors in the
recording process.
• CD-R discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat
and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they are not stored in a location where
direct sunlight will fall on them, and which is away
from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.
• Always store CD-R discs in their “jewel cases” to
avoid dirt and dust accumulating on their surfaces.
• Do not put labels or protective sheets on the discs
and do not use any protective coating spray.
• When labeling CD-R discs, always use a soft oilbased felt-tipped pen to write the information.
Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this
may cause damage to the recorded side.
• Dirty discs may be cleaned using a soft dry cloth
and/or a commercial CD cleaning fluid or ethyl
alcohol. Do not use thinner, gasoline, benzene or
LP cleaning fluid, as these will damage the disc.
• If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling
of a CD-R disc, read the precautions supplied with
the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.
Never use a stabilizer or printable discs
Using commercially available CD stabilizers or
printable recordable discs with this player will damage the mechanism and cause it to malfunction.
