1 – Introduction
Rack-mounting the unit
If you are mounting the unit in a rack, leave 1U of space
above it and 4 inch (10cm) or more of space at the rear.
Use the rack-mounting kit to mount the unit in a standard
19-inch equipment rack, as shown in this section. Remove
the feet of the unit before mounting.
Some notes, precautions and environmental considerations
The CC-222SLMKII may be used in most areas, but to
maintain top performance, and prolong operating life,
observe the following notes, precautions and environmen-
tal conditions:
goods on the unit.
Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generating
electrical device such as a power amplifier.
•
•
•
Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position for
correct operation.
Avoid exposing it to extremes of temperature and
humidity and avoid mechanical shocks and vibration.
•
•
•
•
•
The voltage selector on the rear panel is only available
on units for the North American market. Please set this
to match your local supply. If you are in any doubt in
this matter, consult an electrician.
Keep the unit away from strong magnetic fields (TV
sets, computer monitors, large electric motors, etc.).
The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and
NOTE
35°C (41°F and 95°F).
When transporting the unit, always use the original
packing materials. For this reason, we strongly recom-
mend that you save all the packing materials that came
with the CC-222SLMKII, in case you need to transport it
in the future.
Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 degrees
non-condensing.
As the unit may become hot during operation, always
leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation. Do
not install this unit in a confined space such as a book
case or similar product, and do not put any material
Beware of condensation
If the unit (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a
warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change,
there is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could
condense on the internal mechanism, making correct oper-
ation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the
player sit for one or two hours at the new room temperature
before using.
Never use a stabilizer or printable discs
Using commercially available CD stabilizers or printable
recordable discs with this player will damage the mecha-
nism and cause it to malfunction.
NOTE
Never use a disc that has had a stabilizer mounted to
it. The residual adhesive may cause the disc to stick
to the turntable of the CC-222SLMKII. If it sticks to the
turntable, you will need a technician to get it out.

1 – Introduction
Handling of compact discs
The CC-222SLMKII has been designed for the playback 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.
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, warping
could result.
Always place the compact discs in the trays with their
label facing upward.
•
•
Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of the
disc. Do not write on the disc with a ballpoint pen.
•
•
To remove a disc from its case, press down on the center
of the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding it care
fully by the edges.
-
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 technician.
Do not use cracked discs.
•
•
Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-circu
lar promotional, etc. discs.
-
Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (opposite
the label side). Grime and dust may cause skipping, 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.
•
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-222SLMKII.
•
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.
•
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:
However, you should note that an audio CD created using
a CC-222SLMKII disc may not play back satisfactorily
on every audio CD player. It will, naturally, be playable
on the CC-222SLMKII. This is in no way a limitation of
the CC-222SLMKII 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 handling
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 finger-
prints, grease, etc. can cause errors in the recording
process.
•
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 “finalized”, 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:
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.

gasoline, benzene or LP cleaning fluid, as these will
damage the disc and cause the disc unplayable.
•
•
When labeling CD-R and CD-RW discs, always use a
soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information.
Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may
cause damage to the recorded side.
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 supplied
with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.
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,
•
About 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 TOC2 (Table of
contents) has been written at the start of the disc.
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, provided that
there is space on 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 28 for
details. In the case of a CD-RW disc which has been final-
ized, the whole of the disc may be erased, or the disc may
be “refreshed”, and the disc re-used.
2. TOC: Information of recorded data, which con-
tains titles, starting and ending addresses,
and etc..
“ Recordable” discs
In this manual, we use the term “recordable” disc to
describe a CD-R or CD-RW disc that has not been final-
ized, i.e. further recording is possible on the disc.
About tapes
Do not store tapes in the following places:
As C-120 tapes are mechanically weak, and could become
entangled in the transport mechanism, we do not recom-
mend their use.
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.
About this manual
In this manual, we use the following conventions:
If a preset indicator in the display (i.e. one which cannot
change, but is either on or off) is shown, this is shown as
follows: RANDOM.
•
•
The names of keys and controls are given in the follow-
•
•
ing typeface: ERASE.

1 – Introduction
Use of the remote control unit
Do not expose the infrared receiver (light receptive area
on the front panel) to direct sunlight or intense light for
extended periods of time. Long exposure to this light
may result in failure of the remote control sensor.
If the range of remote operation becomes smaller, or
commands do not always function properly, the batter-
ies have become weak and should be replaced. Always
replace both batteries with new batteries of the same type.
•
•
•
When the remote control will not be used over one
month, please remove the batteries to prevent the possi-
bility of battery acid leakage which could damage the
unit. Should leakage occur, remove and discard the
batteries, and wipe the battery case thoroughly with a
cloth. Avoid getting the battery liquid on the skin. After
cleaning, replace with new batteries.
Point the remote control to the remote sensor on the
main unit. Do not obstruct the path between the remote
control and the remote sensor.
•
The remote control functions by using an infrared light
signal. When using the unit to control the CC-222SLMKII,
other devices that are turned on could be operated by its
signal.
•
Batteries
If batteries are used improperly, or if leakage or breakage
occurs, the unit will not function.
Inserting batteries
ª
1. Open the lid.
Please observe the cautions indicated on the batteries and
their packaging to ensure proper usage.
2. Confirm +/- polarity, and insert two AA batteries.
3. Close the lid.
Confirm + and – polarity and follow the indications
when inserting new batteries into the remote control.
•
Do not use old and new batteries together.
•
•
Even if the battery is the same size, the voltage may
differ. Do not use batteries of different specifications
together.
Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are
non-rechargeable.
•
•
Do not open or disassemble batteries, throw them into a
fire or put them in water.
NOTE
The batteries are not supplied for Taiwan.

Playing back MP3 files
Example of MP3 file structure
MP3 files recorded onto a CD are handled the same way as
files are handled in an ordinary PC, with some MP3 files
held within a directory. In addition, several directories can
be combined into one directory. This results in multiple
layers of directories and files.

NOTE
Directory
A
MP3 file formatted at 44,1 kHz sampling rate and 128
kbps or higher are required, otherwise, that MP3 file
cannot be played back.

B
Each MP3 file is handled as a track.

mp3. 2
mp3. 3
mp3. 4
mp3. 5
When the Directory mode is on, only those files within a
selected directory are available for playback.
When the directory mode is off, the directory configura-
tion is ignored, and all MP3 files recorded on the disc are
available for playback. Please note that Program playback
and Repeat playback only function within directories.
Directory
C
mp3. 6
mp3. 7
mp3. 8
mp3. 9
NOTE
Directories which do not contain MP3 files directly
under them cannot be selected for playback. For
example, in the diagram below, under directory A are
directory B and C containing MP3 files in both direc-
tories which can be selected for playback. However,
directory A showing 0Trfor its total track number
cannot be selected for playback.
Directory
D
When an MP3 disc is created in an ordinary PC, most-
ly, the files (tracks) are shown in the alphabetic order.
However, the CC-222SLMKII gives track numbers to
MP3 files in the order that the files were written on the
disc, so the file order shown on this unit may be differ-
ent from the ones on PC.

Before you start recording using the CC-222SLMKII, make
sure that you understand the following key points:
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.
•
Once you have recorded on a CD-R disc, the data
cannot be erased from it.
•
Input selection
To select the input to be recorded, press the INPUT 1 SEL
key on the main unit.
In the case of either the coaxial or optical inputs being
selected, the appropriate indicator: cOAXiAl or OPTicAl, lights
on the right of the display.
If an analog signal is selected, the liNe 1 or TAPe indicator
lights on the right of the display.

CC-222SLMKII cassette deck
Signal volume
The analog signals received at the LINE 1 jacks,
the RIAA PHONO jacks and from the tape (if the
input volume is not being bypassed—see below) are
controlled with the CD deck’s INPUT control. When this
control is at the 12 o’clock position, the signal is neither
cut nor boosted.
3
Use the MULTI DIAL or SKIP keys to adjust the input
level. The maximum boost is +18 db, and the signal
may be cut by up to 60 dB. There is also a ---dB
setting which represents a complete signal cut.
•
NOTE
The digital volume menu can be used for analog
inputs, however, using the CD deck’s INPUT control to
adjust analog inputs with the digital volume set to zero
is recommended.
The level of the digital inputs may be controlled using
the digital volume menu, as described below.
•
1
Press the RECORD key to place the unit in record
standby mode.
The level set for digital inputs is not applied to analog
inputs and vice versa. If analog inputs are selected
after setting digital input level, the set value is ignored
and the value previously set for analog inputs returns.

at a frequency other than 44.1 kHz, or is being played
back at a non-standard speed using a varispeed unit,
the CC-222SLMKII’s internal frequency converter:
SRC (Sampling Rate Convertor), converts the incoming
frequency to 44.1 kHz.
NOTE

Basic recording
WARNING
6
Press STOP to stop recording. When recording
stops, the display shows PMA Writing(Program
Memory Area) and the Rec indicator blinks for a few
seconds as the unit writes to the disc.
If you are monitoring using headphones, first adjust
the level control to low on the unit, then connect to the
PHONES jack before playing back. This will prevent
any possible damage to your hearing.
NOTE
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.
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 recording.
If you press either the STOP or PAUSE key within four
seconds of starting recording, the unit will continue
recording until four seconds have elapsed (since the start
of recording) and then stop or pause as appropriate.
7
When this message disappears, you must press the
RECORD key (step 2) before restarting the record-
ing. Recording restarts with a new track number.
NOTE
After selecting the input source(s) (see “Input selection”
on page 21), it is possible to start recording.
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.
The basic record procedure is as follows:
1
Load 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.
2
Press the RECORD key. The unit enters record
standby mode, as shown by the Rec indicators on the
display.
When the display shows Now OPC, the unit is oper-
ating in OPC (Optimum Power Control).
3
Adjust the level of the source(s), following the guide-
lines in “Signal volume” on page 21.
NOTE
The red OVeR indicators on the meters should never
light. Unlike analog equipment, digital audio units
produce unpleasant sounds when distorted, and there
is no “headroom” after the 0 mark. If recording digital-
ly 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).
4
Press the PLAY key or the PAUSE key to start re-
cording.
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.
5
Press the PAUSE key to pause recording temporar-
ily. The pause indicator on the display appears.
Pressing the PAUSE or PLAY key again restarts
recording with a new track number.

Playing back tracks
Although an unfinalized disc cannot be played back on
an ordinary CD player, the CC-222SLMKII can play back
tracks that have been recorded. Use the MULTI DIAL
control or the SKIP keys to select a track for playback.
Restricting the number of tracks
When making a recording, it is possible to restrict the
number of tracks that may be recorded at one time.
The maximum number can be entered is 99 tracks
Every time a track division is made, the number shown at
the right of the display goes down by one.

Full disc
If the disc becomes full during recording, the unit will
automatically insert a fade-out. For example:When record-
ing a long program, just before the end of the disc is
reached, the unit starts a fade-out over four seconds and
the display will show Fade Out.
If the disc is a CD-RW, the final track can be erased, if
required (see “Erasing” on page 28) and the disc then final-
ized. If the disc is a CD-R, it must be finalized prior to use
(see “Finalizing” on page 28).

Advanced recording
Setting the trigger level
The signal level which may be used with synchronized
recording operations (here called the “trigger level” or
“threshold”) is set as below:
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 signal will trigger the start
of recording.
1
With a recordable disc loaded, press the MENU key
until the display shows: S_LVL>-XXdB, where -XX
is the current value.
When a digital source is selected, there is another option,
DD, which means that any digital signal above the zero
level will trigger the recording.
2
Turn the MULTI DIAL control or use the SKIP keys
to change the value between -24, -30, -36, -42, -48,
-54, -60, -66, and -72 dB (-60, -66 and -72 are only
for digital signal).
Using the trigger level
An input signal used as trigger to start recording is the
sound level rises above the threshold for one second or
more:
If the “noise floor” is higher than the threshold, synchro-
nized recording will not take place.

can be deleted, and if there is space, further material can
be recorded on them. Even if the disc is full, tracks can be
erased following the unfinalize process, and new material

Once finalized, CD-R discs are truly final—no more can
be recorded on them. By contrast, CD-RW discs can be
“unfinalized” using the CC-222SLMKII, that is, their TOC
Finalizing
As has been explained earlier (see “Finalizing” on page 9),
in order for a disc to become a standard CD, it must have
a Table of Contents (TOC) written to it. This process is
known as finalizing.
2
To start the finalizing process, press the MULTI
DIAL or press the ENTER key. If you do not want to
proceed with the finalizing process, press the FI-
NALIZE key or STOP key.
An unfinalized disc can always be distinguished on the
CC-222SLMKII by the NO TOC indicator under the disc
type on the display being lit when the disc is inserted.
If finalization has been chosen, the display changes.
The NO TOc indicator goes out, and the word TOCand
the Rec indicator flash in the display. The unit starts
counting down from a time shown on the display.
CAUTION
Do not turn the power off during this operation. Not
only you may lose the recorded data, but also the disc
may be damaged and become un-usable.
After finalization, cD-RW, NO TOc indicator changes to
cD-RW and cD-R, NO TOc changes to cD-R indicator.
NOTE
To finalize a disc:
Although CD-R discs finalized on the CC-222SLMKII
may be replayed on ordinary CD players, remember
that finalized CD-RW discs may not play on CD play-
ers.

With the unfinalized (recordable) disc loaded, and
the unit in stop mode, press the FINALIZE key.
The display shows Finalize OK ?.
Unfinalizing CD-RW discs
If a CD-RW disc has been finalized, it is possible to erase
the Table of Contents in the following way:
If unfinalization has been chosen, the NO TOc indicator
starts flashing in the display, and the word ERASE
also starts flashing. The unit starts counting down
from a time shown on the display.
1
With the finalized disc loaded and the unit in stop
mode, press the ERASE key.
After unfinalization, cD-RW indicator changes to cD-
RW, NO TOc indicator.
2
If the display does not show the word Unfinal-
ize?, turn the MULTI DIAL or use the SKIP keys
until it is displayed.
3
To start the unfinalizing process, press the MULTI
DIAL control or press the ENTER key.
If you do not want to proceed with the unfinalizing
process, press the ERASE key or STOP key.
Erasing
Unfinalizing (described above) is a special case of eras-
ing a disc. It is also possible to erase a track or tracks,
starting with the last-recorded track, a whole disc, or to
“refresh” a disc.
NOTE
Erase procedures are possible only on a CD-RW disc.
Even if a CD-RW disc has been finalized, selecting an
erase procedure will automatically unfinalize it prior
to erasure. The disc may then have to be re-finalized.
Remember that it is not possible to perform any erase
procedures on a CD-R disc.

record indicator flashes), and the deck then enters record
pause mode. Press PAUSE or PLAY to re-start recording.

Erasing tapes
Anything previously recorded on the tape will automatical-
ly be erased when you make a new recording on it. It can
also be erased by “recording” on it with the INPUT level
control set to “0”.

Tape counter
NOTE
The tape counter value increments when the tape is
moving from left to right, and decrements when it moves
from right to left.
If the current tape position is too close to the 0000
mark (greater than 9995 or less than 0004), this func-
tion is not available.
Use either of the RESET keys (main or remote) to reset the
value to 0000.
When the counter has been set to 0000, this position can be
reached easily by pressing either of the RTZ keys (main or
remote). The tape fast forwards or fast rewinds to the 0000
mark.
Pitch control
The tape speed can be controlled using the PITCH
CONTROL.
Turning this to the right of the center position results in
faster tape speed (higher pitch), and turning to the left
of the center position results in slower tape speed (lower
pitch). The maximum is 10% away from normal.
The center “neutral” position is marked by a click detent.
