TASCAM CC-222 Owner’s Manual
If the “noise floor” is higher than the threshold, syn-
chronized recording will not take place (but remem-
ber that synchronized recording is not recommended 
with the 
PHONO
Because synchronized recording can be turned on 
and off while recording is taking place, it is therefore 
possible to record with a synchronized automatic 
start, and a manual end, or vice versa.
When the source material is being played back 
before synchronized recording is enabled, the condi-
tions under which synchronized recording will start 
(after synchronized recording has been enabled) are:
When the signal drops below the threshold for one 
second or more and then rises above the threshold 
again (this is the general condition, of which starting 
synchronized recording from a stopped or paused 
source is a special case):
Alternatively, when recording digitally from sources 
(MD, CD and DAT) which output track divisions, 
synchronized recording starts when a track division 
is received, regardless of the level:
To stop synchronized recording:
1
The unit must be in record mode, and the 
SYNC
 indicator in the display must be lit.
2
Stop the source. After a few seconds, the unit 
enters record ready mode. The time between 
the stopping of the source and entering 
record ready mode is used to record a gap at 
the end of the track.
3
If no changes are made to the unit’s controls, 
restarting the source restarts recording, as 
the unit is still in sync mode and will start 
recording again when the source is detected.
NOTE
When recording in sync mode, you may notice a slight 
delay between starting the source, and the CC-222 
responding. This is due to the way in which the unit 
works, storing the data in a memory buffer before writ-
ing it to the disc. The resulting delay is therefore not a 
cause for concern—all audio data received between the 
start and end points will be recorded.
Synchronized recording
Synchronized recording means that recording will 
begin automatically when a signal is received, and 
will stop when the signal ends. 
To enable or disable synchronized recording:
1 A recordable disc must be loaded.
2 With the unit in record ready or record mode, 
press the 
SYNC REC
 key. 
The display shows 
SYNC ON
 briefly, and 
then changes to the track and time display. 
When synchronized recording is enabled, the 
SYNC
 indicator lights in the display.
The 
SYNC REC
 key is also used to turn off syn-
chronized recording (the display briefly shows 
SYNC OFF
 and then returns to the track 
and time display).
