Some notes, precautions and environmental considerations
The CC-222MKIV may be used in most areas, but to main-
tain top performance, and prolong operating life, observe
the following notes, precautions and environmental condi-
tions:
• Avoid exposing it to extremes of temperature and
humidity and avoid mechanical shocks and vibration.
• 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
35°C (41°F and 95°F).
• 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
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.
• 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.
NOTE
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-222MKIV, in case you need to transport it
in the future.
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-222MKIV. If it sticks to the turn-
table, you will need a technician to get it out.

1 – Introduction
8TASCAM CC-222MKIV
The CC-222MKIV 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.
•
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, holding it care-
fully by the edges.
•
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.
•
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, warping
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 technician.
•
Do not use cracked discs.
•
Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-circu-
lar promotional, etc. 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-222MKI V.
Handling of compact discs
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 “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:
High Speed
However, you should note that an audio CD created using
a CC-222MKIV disc may not play back satisfactorily on
every audio CD player. It will, naturally, be playable on
the CC-222MKIV. This is in no way a limitation of the
CC-222MKIV 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.
• 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.

1 – Introduction
TAS CA M CC-222MKIV 9
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.
“Recordable” discs
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.
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.
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.
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 information.
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 supplied
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 recom-
mend their use.
About this manual
In this manual, we use the following conventions:
• The names of keys and controls are given in the follow-
ing typeface: ERASE.
• When the alphanumeric portion of the display shows
a message, this is shown in the following typeface:
Complete.
• 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.
• Selectable values (i.e. values in dB) or ON and OFF
selections (i.e. SRC>XXX) are shown in the following
typeface: XXX.

1 – Introduction

• 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.
• 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.
• The remote control functions by using an infrared light
signal. When using the unit to control the CC-222MKI V,
other devices that are turned on could be operated by its
signal.
• 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.
• 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.
Use of the remote control unit
If batteries are used improperly, or if leakage or breakage
occurs, the unit will not function.
Please observe the cautions indicated on the batteries and
their packaging to ensure proper usage.
• 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.

When the unit is in stop mode with CD Pitch control on,
when the PLAY or PAUSE key is pressed, the display
shows Pitch ON for several seconds (if CD Pitch
control and CD Key control are on, Pitch/Key ON
appears on the display for seconds).
When the unit is writing data to a disc, the Pitch
control function does not work. However, the Pitch
control menu can be operated.

The key of the music can be changed during stop, playback
or playback standby modes. However, please note that this
feature does not work with MP3 discs.

remains the same.
When the Key control function is on, only the playback
speed changes when you use the Pitch control func-
tion, and the key of playback will remain fixed. (The
key of playback will be fixed to the level set by KEY
LEVEL>XXX.) Therefore, if you set KEY LEVEL>XXX
to 0and turn on the Key control function, you can
change only the playback speed without changing the
key of playback.
When the unit is in stop mode with CD Key control on,
when the PLAY or PAUSE key is pressed, the display
shows Key ON for seconds (if CD Key control and CD
Pitch control are on, Pitch/Key ON appears on the

When the unit is writing data to a disc, the Key control
function does not work. However, the Key control
menu can be operated.
When using the key control function, the volume of
the playback sound may occasionally sound like it is
vibrating. This is a result of the key control algorithm
working on the CD playback sound and is normal.

20 TASCAM CC-222MKIV
4 – Disc operations
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
MP3 file formatted at 44,1 kHz sampling rate and 128
kbps or higher are required, otherwise, that MP3 file
cannot be played back.
Each MP3 file is handled as a track.
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.
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 0 Tr for its total track number
cannot be selected for playback.
When an MP3 disc is created in an ordinary PC, most-
ly, the files (tracks) are shown in the alphabetic order.
However, the CC-222MKIV 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 different
from the ones on PC.
The CC-222MKIV can play back MP3 files recorded in
formats which conform to ISO9660 level 1, level 2, and the
Joliet extensions. Discs recorded in multiple sessions may
also be played back.
For MP3 CDs to be played by this unit, the following limi-
tations have been placed on the number of MP3 files and
directories.
Maximum number of directories: 255
Maximum number of hierarchical structures: 8
Maximum number of MP3 files: 999
Maximum title size of MP3 files and directories: 255
ªAbout MP3 track data
On this unit, file name or MP3 TAG information (track
