    4 – CD player
    The CC-222MKII can be used to play back CDs 
    (including CD-R and CD-RW discs that have been 
    recorded and finalized on other types of recorder), as well as CD-R discs and CD-RW discs that have been 
    recorded on the unit.
    Simple playback operations
    1Press the OPEN/CLOSE key to open the disc 
    tray.
    2Discs should be inserted in the tray with the 
    label uppermost.
    3Press the 
    OPEN/CLOSE key to close the tray 
    again.
    When a disc is loaded into the unit, the display 
    briefly shows 
    TOC Reading., with a flashing 
    period following the word “Reading” as the unit 
    determines the contents of the disc. When the TOC 
    has been read, the display shows (at the left of the 
    display) one of the following:1Press the 
    PLAY key to start playback.
    2Press the 
    STOP key to stop playback (note that 
    no digital signal is output when playback is 
    stopped).
    3Press the 
    PAU S E key to pause playback 
    temporarily.
    The track number indicators at the bottom of the dis-
    play light, to show the available unplayed tracks. If 
    there are thirteen tracks on the disc, for example, 
    indicators 
    1 through 13 will light. If there are more 
    than 20 tracks on a disc, the track number 
    OVER indi-
    cator (at the bottom of the display) will light.
    Time display modes
    When playing back a CD (or when in pause mode), 
    there are four different time display modes.
    In each mode, the current track number is given, fol-
    lowed by the time, as given below, e.g.
    10Tr 0:48
    Press the DISPLAY key to cycle through these time 
    display modes, as described here:NOTE
    If programmed playback has been selected (“Pro-
    grammed order playback” on page 22), the elapsed 
    time and total remaining time refer to the programmed 
    material, not the whole disc.
    Track search
    Use the MULTI DIAL (or the  SKIP keys on the 
    remote control unit) to jump forward or backward by 
    one track at a time, as shown on the display.
    Note that going forward from the last track of the 
    disc will “wrap round” to track 1, and going back-
    ward from the first track of the disc will “wrap 
    round” to the last track of the disc.The track number indicators at the bottom of the dis-
    play shows the selected track (the lit indicator at the 
    left of the row of indicators).
    It is also possible to use the number keys on the 
    remote control unit to jump directly to a particular 
    track:
    1To play tracks 1 through 9, simply press the 
    appropriate key (
    1 through 9).

    2To play a track whose number is higher than 
    9, press the 
    +10 key an appropriate number 
    of times to set the “tens” digit of the track 
    number, followed by a single key to set the 
    “units” digit. For example:
    Track 13 = 
    +10, 3
    Tr a c k  3 0  =  +10, +10, +10, 0
    NOTE
    On the remote control unit only, the search keys can be 
    used to “fast-forward” and “fast-rewind” through the 
    disc.
    Playback modes
    The unit can be set to play back a single track, the 
    whole disc in the order in which it was created, the 
    tracks of the disc in a random (shuffled) order, or a 
    programmed order.
    NOTE
    Selecting the playback mode is only possible using the 
    remote control unit. It is not possible to select the play-
    back mode using the main unit alone.
    1Press the PLAY MODE key repeatedly to cycle 
    the display through the following:
    
    Continue. Normal playback mode. Program-
    ming is cancelled, and playback continues in the 
    normal order.
    
    Single. The currently selected track is played 
    and then playback stops. The 
    SINGLE indicator 
    lights in this mode.
    
    Random (random track order). In this mode, 
    each track is played once before the disc repeats. Using the track search functions will move back-
    wards or forwards through the random order, e.g. if 
    track 7 is followed by track 10, it is possible to use 
    the track search keys to go back to track 7, which is 
    remembered as being before immediately before 
    track 10. The red 
    RANDOM display indicator lights 
    in this mode. The 
    TOTAL and TOTAL REMAIN time dis-
    play modes are not available here.
    
    Program (see “Programmed order playback” 
    on page 22 below). The red 
    PROGRAM display indi-
    cator lights in this mode.
    The selected mode is shown in large characters dis-
    appears from the display a few seconds after select-
    ing the mode, and the display returns to its previous 
    mode.
    Changing to programmed play mode is not possible 
    when playback is taking place. This change must be 
    made while the tape is stopped.
    Programmed order playback
    The steps to set up to 25 program steps (tracks) to be 
    played back in a specified order are as follows:
    1Press the 
    PLAY MODE key until the display 
    shows 
    Program.
    2The display changes to show 
    0Tr 00:00 00,  
    meaning that no program steps have yet had 
    tracks assigned to them.
    3Use the number keys on the remote control to 
    enter a track number (including the 
    +10 key 
    to enter values greater than 9, as described 
    above). There is no need to press 
    ENTER.
    The track entered is assigned to the program 
    step, and the display changes, showing the 
    track number, the total time of the program 
    so far, and the step number, e.g. 
    2Tr14:56 03.
    4The next program step can then be entered.
    NOTE
    Steps 3 and 4 above can also be carried out from the 
    main unit by turning and pushing the 
    MULTI DIAL.
    5Repeat steps 3 and 4 above until the program 
    is complete.
    6Press the 
    PLAY key to start playback at the 
    first program step. 
    The display shows the track, the current time 
    display, and the program step number.
    While in programmed playback mode, using 
    the
     SKIP keys or the MULTI DIAL moves back-
    wards and forwards in the order set in the pro-
    gram.
    Use the 
    PA U S E key to halt playback temporarily or 
    the 
    STOP key to stop playback of the program. 
    If the 
    STOP key is used, when playback is restarted, 
    it starts from the first program step. 
    						
    							4 – CD player—Repeat play
     TASCAM CC-222MKII Owner’s Manual 23
    Clear the program by pressing PLAY MODE until the 
    display shows 
    Continue. The program is also 
    cleared when the disc tray is opened, and if the 
    STOP 
    key is pressed when playback is stopped in pro-
    grammed order mode.The programmed play order is not memorized when 
    power is turned off.
    If an attempt is made to enter more than 25 program 
    steps, the message 
    PGM Full ! appears on the 
    display.
    Repeat play
    The unit can repeat the whole of the disc (or pro-
    gram), an A–B portion set as described here, or the 
    current track only.
    NOTE
    Selecting the repeat mode is only possible using the 
    remote control unit. It is not possible to select the 
    repeat mode using the main unit alone.
    1The unit should be in playback, pause or stop 
    mode.
    Continue to press the 
    REPEAT key so that the 
    display shows 
    Repeat 1 (the REPEAT 1 
    indicator lights) to repeat one track, 
    Repeat ALL (the REPEAT ALL indicator 
    lights) to repeat the whole disc or program, 
    Repeat A-B (the REPEAT A-B indicator 
    lights) to repeat between two points as 
    explained below.
    2If playback has not started, restart it.
    To cancel repeat mode, press the 
    REPEAT key so that 
    the display shows 
    Repeat OFF and the REPEAT 
    indicator goes out. Pressing 
    STOP also cancels 
    repeat mode.
    Setting the A and B repeat points
    While the REPEAT A-B indicator is lit, you can set the 
    points on a finalized disc between which playback 
    should loop.
    1Start playback before the point where you 
    want the loop to start.
    2Press the A-B key (remote control) at the 
    point where the loop is to start.
    3Press the A-B key once more at the point at 
    where the loop is to end.Playback jumps back to the first (A) point 
    and continues to the second (B) point and 
    then returns to the A point again, repeating 
    the loop.
    Cancel the A-B repeat mode by pressing the 
    A-B key.
    NOTE
    If the A and B points are too close together, A-B looping 
    is not possible.
    The A and B points can be on either side of a track divi-
    sion, but there may be a gap in the loop during play-
    back in this case.
    Intro check
    This is a useful facility to skip through the first 10 
    seconds of all the tracks on a CD to refresh your 
    memory of the contents of the CD.
    1With the disc stopped, press the 
    INTRO 
    CHECK
     key.
    The first 10 seconds of each track on the disc 
    will be played. Press 
    STOP to stop this play-
    back process.Pressing 
    INTRO CHECK again cancels the mode and 
    returns to normal playback.
    NOTE
    This function is only available from the remote control 
    unit. It is not possible to use this function with the main 
    unit only. 
    						
    							4 – CD player—Auto spacing
    24 TASCAM CC-222MKII Owner’s Manual
    Auto spacing
    This function inserts a gap of about four seconds 
    between tracks on playback. This can be useful when 
    recording to tape, so that automatic searching can 
    take place more easily on tapes recorded from disc 
    (see “Search keys” on page 20).
    NOTE
    This function is only available from the remote control 
    unit. It is not possible to use this function with the main 
    unit only.
    If you press the AU TO SPACE key while the play-
    back is automatically paused between tracks as a result of the auto space function being enabled, the 
    unit remains in pause mode, and playback will not 
    restart after the auto pause time is elapsed. 
    If you press the 
    AUTO  SPACE key while playback is 
    taking place, and the auto space function is enabled, 
    the auto space function is then cancelled.
    You should note that track access in modes other than 
    the “continue” mode, and for discs which are dirty or 
    scratched, may take some time, and the gap between 
    tracks on playback will therefore exceed four 
    seconds.
    Timer playback
    By using an external timer, you can set the CD player 
    to play the loaded disc automatically when the unit is 
    turned on at a pre-determined time.
    Consult the timer’s documentation for details of how 
    to set it, and for connection of its power outlet to the 
    CC-222MKII.Make sure that the CD TIMER switch of the CC-
    222MKII is set to 
    PLAY.
    When the timer turns on the CC-222MKII, the disc 
    TOC is read and then playback starts. 
    						
    							 TASCAM CC-222MKII Owner’s Manual 25
    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.1Press the 
    RECORD key to place the unit in 
    record ready mode.
    2Repeatedly press the 
    MENU key until the dis-
    play shows 
    VOLUME XXXdB where XXX 
    is the current setting.
    3Use 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.

    							5 – Recording CDs—Basic recording
    26 TASCAM CC-222MKII Owner’s Manual
    Frequency conversion
    The sampling frequency for CDs is 44.1 kHz. The 
    CC-222MKII will always record (and play back) 
    CDs at this frequency. When recording digital signals, the sampling fre-
    quency will always be automatically converted to this 
    value, except when recording from a CD, in which 
    case the sampling frequency converter is automati-
    cally bypassed.
    Basic recording
    NOTE
    According to the “Red Book” (the specification for 
    audio CDs), a track cannot be less than four seconds in 
    length, and there can be a maximum of 99 tracks on an 
    audio CD. Bear these limitations in mind when record-
    ing. 
    If you press either the 
    STOP or the PA U S E key within 
    four seconds of starting recording, the unit will con-
    tinue recording until four seconds have elapsed (since 
    the start of recording) and then stop or pause as appro-
    priate.
    After selecting the input source(s) (, “Input selec-
    tion”), it is possible to start recording.
    The basic record procedure is as follows:
    1Load a recordable disc into the unit. As the 
    disc is loaded, the display shows 
    TOC 
    Reading
    .
    When the disc has been loaded, the display 
    indicators show 
    CD-R, NO TOC, or CD-RW, NO 
    TOC
    , as appropriate.
    2Press the 
    RECORD key. The unit enters 
    record ready mode, as shown by the 
    REC and 
    pause indicators on the display. 
    3Adjust the level of the source(s), following the 
    guidelines in “Signal volume” on page 25.
    NOTE
    The red OVER indicators on the meters should never 
    light. Unlike analog equipment, digital audio units pro-
    duce extremely unpleasant sounds when distorted, and 
    there is no “headroom” after the 
    0 mark. If recording 
    digitally from a commercially-produced CD, the volume 
    set in the menu should be 
    0dB. This will maintain all 
    the dynamic range of the source CD without clipping. 
    Only boost the signal if the source is exceptionally 
    quiet.
    An analog signal input at nominal level, with no cut 
    or boost from the volume controls, is equivalent to a 
    reading of –16 dB on the meters (on other words, 0 is 
    equivalent to 16 dBFS).
    4Press the 
    PLAY key or the PA U S E key to start 
    recording. 
    Note that there is no need to “cue up” the 
    recording position—the unit always finds the 
    next available location on the disc and start 
    recording to it.
    5Press the 
    PAU S E key to pause recording tem-
    porarily. The pause indicator on the display 
    shows this. 
    Pressing 
    PA U S E or PLAY again restarts 
    recording with a new track number.
    6Press 
    STOP to stop recording. When record-
    ing stops, the display shows 
    PMA 
    Writing
     (Program Memory Area) and 
    the 
    REC indicator flashes for a few seconds as 
    the unit writes to the disc. 
    NOTE
    While the “PMA Writing” message is displayed, all keys 
    are disabled, and the unit is actually writing to disc. Do 
    not disconnect the power or subject the unit to severe 
    vibration or shocks at this time, as this will prevent 
    proper recording of the information.
    7When this message disappears, you must 
    press the 
    RECORD key (step 2) before 
    restarting the recording. Recording restarts 
    with a new track number.
    NOTE
    Remember that every time recording is paused or 
    stopped, when recording is restarted, a new track will 
    always be started. It is not possible to record in two 
    “stages” within one track. 
    						
    							5 – Recording CDs—Dubbing from tape to disc
     TASCAM CC-222MKII Owner’s Manual 27
    Playing back tracks
    Although an unfinalized disc cannot be played back 
    on an ordinary CD player, the CC-222MKII can play 
    back tracks that have been recorded.Use the MULTI DIAL control or the  SKIP keys to 
    select a track for playback.
    Time display while recording
    While a recordable disc is being played back, the 
    four time display modes available in normal play-
    back as described in , “Time display modes”: 
    TOTAL, 
    TOTAL REMAIN, track REMAIN and elapsed track time.
    However, during recording there are fewer options 
    available (obviously, the unit cannot see into the 
    future and know how much time remains of the track 
    which is being currently recorded!). While recording, 
    until recording has taken place for at least 4 seconds, 
    the time display mode cannot be changed.When in record or record ready mode, repeated 
    presses of the 
    DISPLAY key cycle between display-
    ing the remaining time left for recording on the disc 
    (
    TOTAL REMAIN) and the elapsed time of the track cur-
    rently being recorded (no indicator lit).
    When playback is stopped at the start of a recordable 
    disc, there are only two options available: 
    TOTAL (the 
    total time recorded so far on the disc) and 
    TOTAL 
    REMAIN
     (the total time available on the disc for further 
    recording).
    Manual track division
    It is possible to divide the recording into tracks “on 
    the fly” while recording.
    While recording is taking place, press the 
    RECORD 
    key. The current track number is incremented by one.
    For details of automatic track division while record-
    ing, see “Automatic track division” on page 31.
    NOTE
    According to the “Red Book” (the specification for 
    audio CDs), a track cannot be less than four seconds in 
    length, and there can be a maximum of 99 tracks on an 
    audio CD. Bear these limitations in mind when adding 
    track divisions.
    Full disc
    If recording a long program, when there is no space 
    remaining on the disc for recording, as shown by the 
    time display (see “Time display while recording” on 
    page 27), the display shows 
    Disc Full!! for 
    a few seconds (and may show 
    PMA Writing 
    after this).If the disc is a CD-RW, the final track can be erased, 
    if required (see “Erasing tracks” on page 33) and the 
    disc then finalized. If the disc is a CD-R, it must be 
    finalized prior to use (see “Finalizing” on page 33).
    Dubbing from tape to disc
    When dubbing from tape to disc, follow the instruc-
    tions here.
    1Load the tape with the side that will be 
    recorded first to be played first. Set the 
    Dolby, etc. as well as the reverse mode.
    2Load a recordable disc.
    3Use the 
    MENU key to set the dubbing volume 
    to 
    THRU to bypass the input level control 
    (see “Bypassing the INPUT level for dub-
    bing” on page 18).
    NOTE
    Note that while dubbing with auto track enabled, the 
    start trigger level (see “Synchronized recording” on 
    page 29) is set to –30 dB.
    4Press the DUB 1 key.
    The CD goes into record ready. The tape 
    rewinds to the start of the tape and starts 
    playing back. The CD recorder starts record-
    ing.
    5When the available recording time on the 
    disc is finished, or the tape has stopped play-
    ing according to the reverse mode setting,  
    						
    							5 – Recording CDs—From the RIAA PHONO inputs
    28 TASCAM CC-222MKII Owner’s Manual
    whichever is the earliest, the tape will stop, 
    and recording will stop on the disc.
    If you want to adjust the input volume, set 
    the 
    DUB>VOL menu to ON and use the 
    right (CD-RW) 
    INPUT control to adjust the 
    level of signals fed to the disc from the tape 
    deck. If you wish to adjust the volume before 
    recording starts, put the CD-RW into record 
    ready or monitor mode and use the 
    INPUT 1 
    SEL
     key to select TAPE.
    You can also stop the dubbing process by 
    pressing either of the 
    STOP keys (these are 
    the only keys which will work in dubbing 
    mode).
    NOTE
    A recordable disc must be loaded in the drive, and a cas-
    sette in the tape deck for the dubbing to work. The 
    DUB 1 key is disabled if the media are not loaded, and 
    if the drives are in any mode other than stop.
    Also note the following points:
    When dubbing from tape to disc in bidirectional mode, 
    the track number may automatically be incremented 
    either when the end of the tape is detected (the start of 
    the leader tape) and/or when the tape reverses. In this 
    case, recording is not affected.
    When dubbing from tape to disc in bidirectional mode, 
    a click may be recorded when the tape reverses.
    When dubbing from tape to disc, the leader tape will 
    be recorded as silence on the CD.
    Dubbing to CD from the middle of the tape
    The previous instructions refer to recording from the 
    start of the tape.
    1To record from the middle of the tape, set 
    noise reduction, reverse mode, etc. and locate 
    the tape to the position where playback will 
    start.
    2Press the tape 
    PA U S E key to leave the tape in 
    paused mode.3With a recordable disc in the drive, press the 
    DUB 1 key. The tape will start playing back, 
    and the disc will start recording.
    Recording stops under the same circum-
    stances as for the whole tape (end of tape, 
    end of disc or either 
    STOP key pressed).
    From the RIAA PHONO inputs
    NOTE
    Because of the background noise often experienced 
    when playing back analog vinyl recordings, although 
    the following features are enabled in the phono record-
    ing mode: trigger level, sync recording and automatic 
    track division, the use of them is not recommended.
    To record to disc from an external record player con-
    nected to the 
    RIAA PHONO jacks:
    1Load a recordable disc and put the unit in 
    stop mode.
    2Press the 
    MENU key until the PHONO > 
    xxxx menu item is shown.
    If the display does not show 
    PHONO > 
    DISC
    , turn the MULTI DIAL (or press the 
    SKIP keys on the remote control) until it does 
    and press the 
    MULTI DIAL (or ENTER on the 
    remote control unit). Prepare to play the 
    record on the external record player.
    3Press the 
    PHONO key. The input changes to 
    the 
    RIAA PHONO input (the INPUT 1 PHONO indicator lights on the display), and the disc 
    recorder enters record ready mode.
    4Start playing back the record. 
    5Start recording on the disc by pressing the 
    disc 
    PLAY key.
    The level can be adjusted using the CD 
    INPUT control.
    Recording will stop when the recording time 
    on the disc ends, or when the disc 
    STOP key 
    is pressed. The input source returns to the 
    previously-selected key.
    NOTE
    No keys are enabled in this phono recording mode, 
    except for the disc 
    STOP key. This includes the 
    RECORD key, which can therefore not be used for 
    manual track increments (“Manual track division” on 
    page 27). If you want to use manual track division, use 
    the normal recording procedure, with the phono inputs 
    selected as the source. 
    						
    							5 – Recording CDs—Advanced recording
     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:
    1With a recordable disc loaded, press the 
    MENU 
    key until the display shows: 
    S_LVL>> 
    xxdB
    , where xx is the current value.
    2Tu r n  t h e  
    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:
    1A recordable disc must be loaded.2Press the 
    SYNC REC key to select SYNC 
    ALL
     or SYNC 1. 
    3Press the 
    RECORD key.
    4Start 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 
    PAU S E key cannot be used to pause 
    synchronized recording.
    The sync modes are related to the trigger level (as 
    explained above).

    Sync recording (start)
    The conditions under which an input signal is used as 
    the trigger to start recording in the 
    SYNC ALL and 
    SYNC 1 modes are:
     when recording digitally from a DAT deck, a digi-
    tal track start signal is detected (the signal level is 
    ignored):
     when recording digitally from a CD or MD deck, a 
    digital track start signal is received, and the signal 
    level subsequently rises above the trigger level: when recording from any source other than the 
    ones described above (that is, any digital source 
    other than DAT, CD or MD, or any analog source), 
    recording starts when the input signal level exceeds 
    the trigger level.
    In this last case, if the signal level is already higher 
    than the trigger level, recording starts immediately.
    Sync recording (stop)
    SYNC ALL In the SYNC ALL mode, recording 
    stops when the input level drops below the trigger 
    level for more than six seconds.
    Also note that in this mode, the auto track function is 
    enabled (see “Automatic track division” on page 31).
    SYNC OFF Automatic synchronized record start 
    and stop functions are disabled and must be per-
    formed manually.
    SYNC 1 In the SYNC 1 mode, recording stops at 
    the start of the next track (when the level of the first 
    track has gone below the trigger level for less than 
    six seconds and the level of the second track goes 
    above the trigger level)
    or
    When the input level goes below the trigger level for 
    more than six seconds (as in the 
    SYNC ALL 
    mode).
