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.

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":
, track
TOTAL REMAIN REMAIN
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!).

Manual track division

It is possible to divide the recording into tracks "on
the fly" while recording.
While recording is taking place, press the
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.

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 control or use the
MULTI DIAL
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

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
