CC-222mkIII

Combination CD/Cassette Recorder
with MP3 Playback

TASCAM’s CC-222mkIII is the latest generation of

the most popular combination CD/cassette recorder
ever. The CC-222mkIII, like its predecessors, records to
both CD and Cassette media at the same time, and
features an RIAA phono input for recording directly
from a turntable. The newest version adds numerous
features users have been asking for, including MP3
fi le playback, power on play, optical digital output and
time track increment.

The CC-222mkIII has unbalanced RCA inputs, and
can be operated as two individual recorders or to
record one source to both recorders simultaneously.

The new Time Track Increment feature automati­cally adds a CD track ID every few minutes (adjustable
from 1 to 10 minute increments), ideal for house of
worship and event recording. The CC-222mkIII can
also add a track marker when the signal drops below
a certain level, or when the record button is pressed.

Using TASCAM CD recorders is simple, which is
why they’re the fi rst choice for houses of worship,
schools, and other contractor and consumer applica­tions.
