TASCAM CC-222 Owner’s Manual

Erasing tracks

It is possible to erase the last recorded track, the last
two recorded tracks, the last three recorded tracks,
etc. It is not, however, possible to erase tracks in the
“middle” of the disc.

With the disc loaded, and the unit in stop
mode, press the

ERASE

key.

If the display does not show

ERASE XX-

XX?

, where

is the number of the last

track recorded on the disc, turn the

MULTI

DIAL

or use the

SKIP

keys until it is

displayed.

Turn the

MULTI DIAL

or use the

SKIP

keys to

change the number of the first track to be
erased. The highest value that this number
can take is the last track recorded (for exam-
ple, if 17 tracks have been recorded on the
disc,

17-17

means that the last track only,

number 17, will be erased). The lowest value
that this number can take is

(if this num-

ber was

, the whole disc would be erased, as

described below).

If you do not want to proceed with the erase
operation, press any other key (such as the

STOP

key).

NOTE

If only one track has been recorded on the disc, only the
“erase disc” option (, “Erasing a whole disc”) is avail-
able.

When the range of tracks to be erased has
been selected, press the

MULTI DIAL

or the

ENTER

key.

NOTE

This operation cannot be undone. If you are going to
erase a track or tracks, make sure that they are record-
ings that you really want to erase!

If the erase operation has been selected, the
word

ERASE

flashes on the display, and the

timer starts counting down.

At the end of the countdown period, the word

Complete

appears briefly on the display,

and the display returns to the track/time
display.

Erasing a whole disc

When you want to erase a whole disc (all the tracks
on a disc), follow the procedure below:

With the disc loaded, and the unit in stop
mode, press the

ERASE

key.

Turn the

MULTI DIAL

or use the

SKIP

keys

until the display shows

ERASE DISC?

If you do not want to proceed with the erase
operation, press any other key (such as the

STOP

key).

To erase the contents of the disc, press the

MULTI DIAL

or the

ENTER

key.

NOTE

This operation cannot be undone. If you are going to
erase a disc, make sure that it contains only recordings
that you really want to erase!

If the erase operation has been selected, the
word

ERASE

flashes on the display, and the

timer starts counting down a time value
shown on the display.

At the end of the countdown period, the word

Complete

appears briefly on the display,

and the display returns to the track/time
display.

Refreshing a disc

If a CD-RW disc has been corrupted at any point (e.g.
power has been cut off in the middle of a finalize
operation, etc.), or has been used in a computer or
another piece of equipment that makes it unreadable,
it is possible to “refresh” the disc to make it usable
again. This is equivalent to formatting a disk on a
computer to prepare it for use. This operation
destroys all data on the disc.

With the disc loaded, and the unit in stop
mode, press the

ERASE

key.

Turn the

MULTI DIAL

or use the

SKIP

keys

until the display shows

DISC REFRESH

To refresh the disc, press the

MULTI DIAL

the

ENTER

key.
