1- Introduction Handling of compact discs The CC-222SL has been designed for the playback of CD-DA format discs and MP3 files recorded in ISO9660 format: In addition to ordinary 5-inch and 3-inch CDs, it can also play properly recorded CD-R and CD-RW discs. • Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid • • Always place the compact discs in the trays with their label facing upward.
1- Introduction • When labeling CD-R and CD-RW discs, always use a • Do not put labels or protective sheets on the discs and soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the recorded side. • Always keep the recording sides of the discs away from grime and dust to avoid a reduction in sound quality. To clean a disc, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth from the center towards the outside edge.
1- Introduction Use of the remote control unit • Do not expose the infrared receiver (light receptive area • If the range of remote operation becomes smaller, or on the front panel) to direct sunlight or intense light for extended periods of time. Long exposure to this light may result in failure of the remote control sensor. • When the remote control will not be used over one month, please remove the batteries to prevent the possibility of battery acid leakage which could damage the unit.

The fade-in and fade-out times can be set indepen-dently in increments of one second, from 1 second to 24 seconds.
6 – After 1- Introduction recording This section deals with the actions taken after record-ing: finalizing for CD-R and CD-RW discs, and erase operations for CD-RW discs. Once finalized, CD-R discs are truly final—no more can be recorded on them. By contrast, CD-RW discs can be “unfinalized” using the CC-222SL, that is, their TOC can be deleted, and if there is space, further material can be recorded on them.
1-–Introduction 6 After recording 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. been recorded on the disc, 17-17 means that the last track only, number 17, will be erased).
