8 TASCAM CC-222MKIII
The CC-222MKIII has been designed for the play-
back of CD-DA format discs and MP3 files recorded
in ISO9660 format: In addition to ordinary 5-inch and
3-inch CDs, it can also play properly recorded CD-R
and CD-RW discs.
Always place the compact discs in the trays with
their label facing upward.
To remove a disc from its case, press down on the
center of the disc holder, then lift the disc out, hold-
ing it carefully by the edges.
Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (oppo-
site the label side). Grime and dust may cause skip-
ping, so keep discs clean and store them in their
cases when not being played. To clean the signal side
of a disc, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth from the
center towards the outside edge.
Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions,
benzene, paint thinner or other chemical agents to
clean CDs as they could damage the delicate playing
surface. It may cause CDs to become unplayable.

Discs should be returned to their cases after use to
avoid serious scratches that could cause the laser
pickup to “skip.”
Keep discs away from direct sunlight, and places of
high heat and humidity. If left in such places, warp-
ing could result.
Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side
of the disc. Do not write on the disc with a ballpoint
pen.
Do not insert discs that have adhesive remaining
from tape or stickers that have been removed. If they
are inserted into the player, they could stick to the
internal mechanism, requiring removal by a techni-
cian.
Do not use cracked discs.
Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-
circular promotional, etc. discs.
The CC-222MKIII cannot play unfinalized CD-R/
RW discs.
Music discs with copy control, a compact disc copy-
protection system, have been released from several
record companies aiming to protect their copyright
interests. Since some of these discs do not comply
with the CD specifications, they may not be playable
on the CC-222MKIII.

About CD-R and CD-RW discs
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 pack-aging of
CD-R discs will include one of the following logos:
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
recorded can be erased before the disc has been “final-
ized”, and the space on the disc can be re-used for
other recordings. The packaging of CD-RW discs will
include the logo one of the following logos:
High Speed
However, you should note that an audio CD created
using a CC-222MKIII disc may not play back satisfac-
torily on every audio CD player. It will, naturally, be
playable on the CC-222MKIII. This is in no way a limi-
tation of the CC-222MKIII itself, but of the difference
between the different types of media and the methods
used to read them.
There are precautions that you should take when han-
dling CD-R and CD-RW discs.
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 and CD-RW discs are sensitive to the effects of
heat and ultraviolet rays. 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.
