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.
At any time within record or record standby mode, turn the
MULTI DIAL control or use the SKIP keys.
This sets the number of remaining tracks, as shown to the
right of the time display.
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.
The number of remaining tracks can be changed during
recording using the
MULTI DIAL control.
Playing back tracks
Although an unfinalized disc cannot be played back on an
ordinary CD player, the CC-222
MKIV can play back tracks
that have been recorded. Use the MULTI DIAL control or
the SKIP keys to select a track for playback.
NOTE
Because of the background noise often experienced
when playing back analog vinyl recordings, the use of
the following features is not recommended in the phono
recording mode even though they are available: trigger
level, sync recording and automatic track division.
To record to disc from an external record player con-nected
to the
RIAA PHONO INPUT jacks:

Only the disc STOP key is enabled in this phono
recording mode. The RECORD key therefore cannot be
used for manual track increments (see
”Manually divide track” on page 26). If you want to use
manual track division, use the normal recording proce-
dure, with the phono inputs selected as the source.
This mode cannot be entered if a recordable disc is
not loaded in the drive.
It is also possible to perform manual recording to disc from
the
RIAA PHONO INPUT source. This is the same as the
standard manual recording procedure (“Basic recording”
on page 22), except that the
PHONO input option should be
selected using the
INPUT 1 SEL key before recording starts.

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.
When the fade-out has finished, the display shows
Disc
Full!
. Press the STOP key to exit.
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).
During recording, three options are available for the time
display modes.
When in record or record standby mode, repeated presses
of the
DISPLAY key cycles through displaying the remain-
ing time left for recording on the disc (
TOTAL REMAIN),
the elapsed time of the track currently being recorded (no
indicator lit) and the total time recorded on the disc (
TOTAL).
NOTE
In record mode, REMAIN shows the same time display
as TOTAL REMAIN.
