 TASCAM CC-222 

Owner’s Manual

1 – Introduction

The CC-222 provides you with an advanced system 
for the recording and playback of digital compact 
discs and analog cassettes, providing easy duplica-
tion facilities in both directions, and combining the 
most advanced technology in both fields.

Additional audio units, both analog and digital, can 
be connected easily through the rear panel connec-
tions, allowing the recording of other sources.

Additionally, the CC-222 is fitted with a dedicated 
phono connection, which eliminates the need for an 
additional RIAA-equipped amplifier when archiving 
vinyl recordings.

TASCAM’s legendary attention to detail provides a 
high-quality full-featured cassette tape deck, com-
plete with Dolby noise reduction circuitry.

24-bit digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital con-
verters provide excellent recording and playback 
quality for the CD recorder.

A sampling frequency convertor is incorporated, 
allowing the recording of CDs from digital audio 

sources which are at frequencies other than the CD 
standard sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.

Disc track divisions can be entered manually, or can 
produced automatically as a response to the input 
signal level.

“One-touch” fade-ins and fade-outs over a specified 
time allow you to edit program material to your spe-
cific requirements.

A multi-function “multi dial” is used to set and con-
firm parameter settings.

A convenient wireless remote control unit provides 
additional functionality and permits the operation of 
the unit from a distance.
