Copy-protection
The CC-222MKIII allows copy-protection to be applied
to the discs produced. Naturally, the copy-protection
applies only to digital-to-digital copies.
There are three settings:
FREE (may be freely copied), where no copy-pro-
tection is applied to the recorded disc.
1GEN (single-generation copying), where one digital
copy (“child”) can be made from the recorded disc,
but no digital copies (“grandchildren”) can be made
from the child.
PROH (copy prohibited) which prevents any digital
copies being made from the recorded disc

NOTE
Copy-protection applies on a “per-track”, not a per-
disc basis. This means that you can apply different
copy-protection levels to different tracks (but you
can’t apply different copy-protection levels to dif-
ferent parts of the same track). If copy-protection is
important to your work, you may want to check this
setting every time you make a recording, to ensure
that you have the protection level that you want.
Fade-in and fade-out
To provide smooth beginnings and endings to recorded
tracks, the unit provides fade facilities.
Fade-ins are from –
∞
(silence) to the set input level (see
“Signal volume” on page 20) and fade-outs go from the
current input volume to silence.
The fade-in and fade-out times can be set indepen-
dently in increments of one second, from 1 second to 24
seconds.
To set the fade times:
