Playing back tracks
Although an unfinalized disc cannot be played back 
on an ordinary CD player, the CC-222 can play back 
tracks that have been recorded.
Use the 
MULTI DIAL
 control or the 
 SKIP
 keys to 
select a track for playback.
Time display while recording
While a recordable disc is being played back, the 
four time display modes available in normal play-
back as described in , “Time display modes”
TOTAL
TOTAL REMAIN
, track 
REMAIN
 and elapsed track time.
However, during recording there are fewer options 
available (obviously, the unit cannot see into the 
future and know how much time remains of the track 
which is being currently recorded!).
When in record or record ready mode, repeated 
presses of the 
DISPLAY
 key cycle between display-
ing the remaining time left for recording on the disc 
(
TOTAL REMAIN
) and the elapsed time of the track cur-
rently being recorded (no indicator lit).
When playback is stopped at the start of a recordable 
disc, there are only two options available: 
TOTAL
 (the 
total time recorded so far on the disc) and 
TOTAL 
REMAIN
 (the total time available on the disc for further 
recording).
Manual track division
It is possible to divide the recording into tracks “on 
the fly” while recording.
While recording is taking place, press the 
RECORD
 
key. The current track number is incremented by one.
For details of automatic track division while record-
ing, see “Automatic track division” on page 31.
NOTE
According to the “Red Book” (the specification for 
audio CDs), a track cannot be less than four seconds in 
length, and there can be a maximum of 99 tracks on an 
audio CD. Bear these limitations in mind when adding 
track divisions.
Restricting the number of tracks
When making a recording using the CC-222, it is 
possible to restrict the number of tracks that may be 
recorded at one time. This applies whether the tracks 
are being divided manually, as described above 
(“Manual track division” on page 26) or being 
divided automatically (“Automatic track division” on 
page 31)
.
At any time within record or record ready 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 num-
ber here is limited by the standard limit of 99 tracks, 
and the number of tracks currently recorded. In other 
words, if 8 tracks have already been recorded on the 
disc, the maximum value that can be set here is 
91
 
(91+8=99). If 49 tracks have already been recorded 
on the disc, the maximum value that can be set here 
is 
50
 (49+50=99).
Every time a track division is made, the number 
shown at the right of the display goes down by one. 
When the number shown is 
1
, and a track division is 
made, the display shows 
PMA Writing
 and the 
unit enters stop mode.
The number of remaining tracks can be changed dur-
ing recording using the 
MULTI DIAL
 control.
Full disc
If recording a long program, and the number of 
tracks has not been restricted, when there is no space 
remaining on the disc for recording, as shown by the 
time display (see “Time display while recording” on 
page 26)
, just before the end of the disc is reached, 
the unit starts a fade-out over a few seconds (the dis-
play shows 
FADE OUT
).
When the fade-out has finished, the display shows 
Disc Full!!
 for a few seconds, and the unit 
then goes into stop mode (the display shows 
PMA 
Writing
).
