Tascam CC-222MK CD Player User Manual


 
1- Introduction
TASCAM CC-222MKIII 9
In this manual, we use the term “recordable” disc to
describe a CD-R or CD-RW disc that has not been
finalized, i.e. further recording is possible on the disc.
“Recordable” discs
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
TOC
2
(Table of contents) 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 disc. See “Finalizing” on
page 27 for details. 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. only the TOC is removed. This
allows further tracks to be recorded to the disc, provid-
ed that there is space on the disc.
2. TOC: Information of recorded data, which con-
tains titles, starting and ending addresses,
and etc..
Always store CD-R and CD-RW discs in their cases
to avoid dirt and dust accumulating on their surfaces.
When labeling CD-R and CD-RW discs, always use
a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the informa-
tion. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as
this may cause damage to the recorded side.
Always keep the recording sides of the discs away
from grime and dust to avoid a reduction in sound
quality. To clean a disc, wipe gently with a soft dry
cloth from the center towards the outside edge. Do
not use thinner, gasoline, benzene or LP cleaning
fluid, as these will damage the disc and cause the
disc unplayable.
Do not put labels or protective sheets on the discs
and do not use any protective coating spray.
If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of
a CD-R and CD-RW discs, read the precautions sup-
plied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer
directly.
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.
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.
