1 – Introduction  
Rack-mounting the unit  
If you are mounting the unit in a rack, leave 1U of space  
above it and 4 inch (10cm) or more of space at the rear.  
Use the rack-mounting kit to mount the unit in a standard  
19-inch equipment rack, as shown in this section. Remove  
the feet of the unit before mounting.  
Some notes, precautions and environmental considerations  
The CC-222SLMKII may be used in most areas, but to  
maintain top performance, and prolong operating life,  
observe the following notes, precautions and environmen-  
tal conditions:  
goods on the unit.  
Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generating  
electrical device such as a power amplifier.  
Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position for  
correct operation.  
Avoid exposing it to extremes of temperature and  
humidity and avoid mechanical shocks and vibration.  
The voltage selector on the rear panel is only available  
on units for the North American market. Please set this  
to match your local supply. If you are in any doubt in  
this matter, consult an electrician.  
Keep the unit away from strong magnetic fields (TV  
sets, computer monitors, large electric motors, etc.).  
The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and  
NOTE  
35°C (41°F and 95°F).  
When transporting the unit, always use the original  
packing materials. For this reason, we strongly recom-  
mend that you save all the packing materials that came  
with the CC-222SLMKII, in case you need to transport it  
in the future.  
Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 degrees  
non-condensing.  
As the unit may become hot during operation, always  
leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation. Do  
not install this unit in a confined space such as a book  
case or similar product, and do not put any material  
Beware of condensation  
If the unit (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a  
warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change,  
there is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could  
condense on the internal mechanism, making correct oper-  
ation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the  
player sit for one or two hours at the new room temperature  
before using.  
Never use a stabilizer or printable discs  
Using commercially available CD stabilizers or printable  
recordable discs with this player will damage the mecha-  
nism and cause it to malfunction.  
NOTE  
Never use a disc that has had a stabilizer mounted to  
it. The residual adhesive may cause the disc to stick  
to the turntable of the CC-222SLMKII. If it sticks to the  
turntable, you will need a technician to get it out.

1 – Introduction  
Handling of compact discs  
The CC-222SLMKII 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  
serious scratches that could cause the laser pickup to  
“skip.”  
Keep discs away from direct sunlight, and places of  
high heat and humidity. If left in such places, warping  
could result.  
Always place the compact discs in the trays with their  
label facing upward.  
Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of the  
disc. Do not write on the disc with a ballpoint pen.  
To remove a disc from its case, press down on the center  
of the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding it care  
fully by the edges.  
-
Do not insert discs that have adhesive remaining from  
tape or stickers that have been removed. If they are  
inserted into the player, they could stick to the internal  
mechanism, requiring removal by a technician.  
Do not use cracked discs.  
Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-circu  
lar promotional, etc. discs.  
-
Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (opposite  
the label side). Grime and dust may cause skipping, so  
keep discs clean and store them in their cases when not  
being played. To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe  
gently with a soft dry cloth from the center towards the  
outside edge.  
Music discs with copy control, a compact disc copy-  
protection system, have been released from several  
record companies aiming to protect their copyright  
interests. Since some of these discs do not comply with  
the CD specifications, they may not be playable on the  
CC-222SLMKII.  
Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions,  
benzene, paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean  
CDs as they could damage the delicate playing surface.  
It may cause CDs to become unplayable.  
About CD-R and CD-RW discs  
CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they  
have been used for recording, they cannot be erased or  
re-recorded. However, if space is available on the disc,  
additional material can be recorded. The pack-aging of  
CD-R discs will include one of the following logos:  
However, you should note that an audio CD created using  
a CC-222SLMKII disc may not play back satisfactorily  
on every audio CD player. It will, naturally, be playable  
on the CC-222SLMKII. This is in no way a limitation of  
the CC-222SLMKII itself, but of the difference between  
the different types of media and the methods used to read  
them.  
There are precautions that you should take when handling  
CD-R and CD-RW discs.  
Avoid touching the recording (non-label) side of a disc  
on which you will be recording. Recording on a disc  
requires a cleaner surface than playing back, and finger-  
prints, grease, etc. can cause errors in the recording  
process.  
By contrast, a CD-RW disc can be used in much the same  
way as a CD-R disc, but the last track or tracks recorded  
can be erased before the disc has been “finalized”, and the  
space on the disc can be re-used for other recordings. The  
packaging of CD-RW discs will include the logo one of the  
following logos:  
CD-R and CD-RW discs are sensitive to the effects of  
heat and ultraviolet rays. It is important that they are not  
stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on  
them, and which is away from sources of heat such as  
radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.

1 – Introduction  
Always store CD-R and CD-RW discs in their cases to  
avoid dirt and dust accumulating on their surfaces.  
gasoline, benzene or LP cleaning fluid, as these will  
damage the disc and cause the disc unplayable.  
When labeling CD-R and CD-RW discs, always use a  
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.  
Do not put labels or protective sheets on the discs and  
do not use any protective coating spray.  
If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a  
CD-R and CD-RW discs, read the precautions supplied  
with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.  
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. Do not use thinner,  
About finalizing  
Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or CD-RW  
disc, a standard CD player will not be able to read the  
data (i.e. play back the audio) until a final TOC2 (Table of  
contents) has been written at the start of the disc.  
In addition, a CD-RW disc that has been finalized may be  
“unfinalized”, i.e. only the TOC is removed. This allows  
further tracks to be recorded to the disc, provided that  
there is space on the disc.  
The process of writing this table of contents is known as  
“finalizing”. Once this has been done, no further data can  
be written to the disc. See “Finalizing” on page 28 for  
details. In the case of a CD-RW disc which has been final-  
ized, the whole of the disc may be erased, or the disc may  
be “refreshed”, and the disc re-used.  
2. TOC: Information of recorded data, which con-  
tains titles, starting and ending addresses,  
and etc..  
“ Recordable” discs  
In this manual, we use the term “recordable” disc to  
describe a CD-R or CD-RW disc that has not been final-  
ized, i.e. further recording is possible on the disc.  
About tapes  
Do not store tapes in the following places:  
As C-120 tapes are mechanically weak, and could become  
entangled in the transport mechanism, we do not recom-  
mend their use.  
On top of heaters, exposed to direct sunlight, or in any  
other places with high temperatures.  
Near speakers, on TV sets or amplifiers or where they  
would be exposed to strong magnetic fields.  
Where humidity is high, or in dirty, dusty places.  
Avoid dropping or subjecting cassettes to excessive  
shocks.  
About this manual  
In this manual, we use the following conventions:  
If a preset indicator in the display (i.e. one which cannot  
change, but is either on or off) is shown, this is shown as  
follows: RANDOM.  
The names of keys and controls are given in the follow-  
ing typeface: ERASE.  
Selectable values (i.e. values in dB) or ON and OFF  
selections (i.e. SRC>XXX) are shown in the following  
typeface: XXX.  
When the alphanumeric portion of the display shows  
a message, this is shown in the following typeface:  
Complete.

1 – Introduction  
Use of the remote control unit  
Do not expose the infrared receiver (light receptive area  
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.  
If the range of remote operation becomes smaller, or  
commands do not always function properly, the batter-  
ies have become weak and should be replaced. Always  
replace both batteries with new batteries of the same type.  
When the remote control will not be used over one  
month, please remove the batteries to prevent the possi-  
bility of battery acid leakage which could damage the  
unit. Should leakage occur, remove and discard the  
batteries, and wipe the battery case thoroughly with a  
cloth. Avoid getting the battery liquid on the skin. After  
cleaning, replace with new batteries.  
Point the remote control to the remote sensor on the  
main unit. Do not obstruct the path between the remote  
control and the remote sensor.  
The remote control functions by using an infrared light  
signal. When using the unit to control the CC-222SLMKII,  
other devices that are turned on could be operated by its  
signal.  
Batteries  
If batteries are used improperly, or if leakage or breakage  
occurs, the unit will not function.  
Inserting batteries  
ª
1. Open the lid.  
Please observe the cautions indicated on the batteries and  
their packaging to ensure proper usage.  
2. Confirm +/- polarity, and insert two AA batteries.  
3. Close the lid.  
Confirm + and – polarity and follow the indications  
when inserting new batteries into the remote control.  
Do not use old and new batteries together.  
Even if the battery is the same size, the voltage may  
differ. Do not use batteries of different specifications  
together.  
Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are  
non-rechargeable.  
Do not open or disassemble batteries, throw them into a  
fire or put them in water.  
NOTE  
The batteries are not supplied for Taiwan.

Playing back MP3 files  
Example of MP3 file structure  
MP3 files recorded onto a CD are handled the same way as  
files are handled in an ordinary PC, with some MP3 files  
held within a directory. In addition, several directories can  
be combined into one directory. This results in multiple  
layers of directories and files.  
Disc  
NOTE  
Directory  
A
MP3 file formatted at 44,1 kHz sampling rate and 128  
kbps or higher are required, otherwise, that MP3 file  
cannot be played back.

MP3 files  
B
Each MP3 file is handled as a track.  
mp3. 1  
mp3. 2  
mp3. 3  
mp3. 4  
mp3. 5  
When the Directory mode is on, only those files within a  
selected directory are available for playback.  
When the directory mode is off, the directory configura-  
tion is ignored, and all MP3 files recorded on the disc are  
available for playback. Please note that Program playback  
and Repeat playback only function within directories.  
Directory  
C
mp3. 6  
mp3. 7  
mp3. 8

NOTE  
Directories which do not contain MP3 files directly  
under them cannot be selected for playback. For  
example, in the diagram below, under directory A are  
directory B and C containing MP3 files in both direc-  
tories which can be selected for playback. However,  
directory A showing 0Trfor its total track number  
cannot be selected for playback.  
Directory  
D
When an MP3 disc is created in an ordinary PC, most-  
ly, the files (tracks) are shown in the alphabetic order.  
However, the CC-222SLMKII gives track numbers to  
MP3 files in the order that the files were written on the  
disc, so the file order shown on this unit may be differ-  
ent from the ones on PC.

5 – Recording CDs  
Before you start recording using the CC-222SLMKII, make  
sure that you understand the following key points:  
You can add tracks to an unfinalized recordable disc.  
Once finalized, a CD-R disc is “fixed” and behaves in  
the same way as a pre-recorded disc. Finalized CD-RW  
discs, however, can be erased, refreshed and re-recorded.  
Once you have recorded on a CD-R disc, the data  
cannot be erased from it.  
Input selection  
To select the input to be recorded, press the INPUT 1 SEL  
key on the main unit.  
In the case of either the coaxial or optical inputs being  
selected, the appropriate indicator: cOAXiAl or OPTicAl, lights  
on the right of the display.  
If an analog signal is selected, the liNe 1 or TAPe indicator  
lights on the right of the display.  
Repeated presses of the key cycles through the following options:  
OPTICAL Optical digital in  
COAXIAL Coaxial digital in  
LINE 1  
PHONO  
TAPE  
Analog in (LINE 1)  
Phono inputs  
CC-222SLMKII cassette deck  
Signal volume  
The analog signals received at the LINE 1 jacks,  
the RIAA PHONO jacks and from the tape (if the  
input volume is not being bypassed—see below) are  
controlled with the CD deck’s INPUT control. When this  
control is at the 12 o’clock position, the signal is neither  
cut nor boosted.  
3
Use the MULTI DIAL or SKIP keys to adjust the input  
level. The maximum boost is +18 db, and the signal  
may be cut by up to 60 dB. There is also a ---dB  
setting which represents a complete signal cut.  
NOTE  
The digital volume menu can be used for analog  
inputs, however, using the CD deck’s INPUT control to  
adjust analog inputs with the digital volume set to zero  
is recommended.  
The level of the digital inputs may be controlled using  
the digital volume menu, as described below.  
1
Press the RECORD key to place the unit in record  
standby mode.  
The level set for digital inputs is not applied to analog  
inputs and vice versa. If analog inputs are selected  
after setting digital input level, the set value is ignored  
and the value previously set for analog inputs returns.  
2
Repeatedly press the MENU key until the display  
shows VOLUME>XXXdBwhere XXXis the cur-  
rent setting.  
Input monitoring  
When the unit is in record standby mode, or record mode,  
the input signal is output from the OUTPUT jacks (digital  
and analog), allowing you to hear the input signal.  
or remote control to enter monitor mode from stop mode  
when there is no recordable disc in the unit (when there is  
a recordable disc in the unit, pressing the RECORD key  
enters record standby mode).  
The meters also show the current signal level.  
The word MONITORappears on the display to show that  
the output signal is an echo of the input signal(s). The  
meters show the current input level.  
However, it is only possible to record, or to enter record  
standby mode, when a recordable disc is inserted. To allow  
monitoring of the input signal at other times, or when the  
unit is stopped, use the RECORD key on the main unit  
Exit the monitor mode by using the STOP key.  
Sampling Frequency conversion  
The sampling frequency for CDs is 44.1 kHz. The  
CC-222SLMKII will always record (and play back) CDs at  
this frequency.

2
Press the MENU key repeatedly until the SRC>XXX  
appears.  
Turn the MULTI DIAL to set the value ONor OFF.  
However, if recording through a digital connection (either  
coaxial or optical) and the source has been recorded  
at a frequency other than 44.1 kHz, or is being played  
back at a non-standard speed using a varispeed unit,  
the CC-222SLMKII’s internal frequency converter:  
SRC (Sampling Rate Convertor), converts the incoming  
frequency to 44.1 kHz.  
NOTE  
When the SRC setting is off, the frequency convertor is  
bypassed. In this case, digital signals other than 44.1kHz  
cannot be recorded. If an attempt is made, the error  
message Not Fs44.1k!will appear on the display.

Remember that every time recording is paused or  
stopped, when recording is restarted, a new track will  
always be started. It is not possible to record in two ”  
stages” within one track.  
The basic record procedure is as follows:  
1
Load a recordable disc into the unit. As the disc is  
loaded, the display shows TOC Reading.  
When the disc has been loaded, the display indicators  
show cD-R, NO TOc, or cD-RW, NO TOc, as appropriate.  
2
Press the RECORD key. The unit enters record  
standby mode, as shown by the Rec indicators on the  
display.  
When the display shows Now OPC, the unit is oper-  
ating in OPC (Optimum Power Control).  
3
Adjust the level of the source(s), following the guide-  
lines in “Signal volume” on page 21.  
NOTE  
The red OVeR indicators on the meters should never  
light. Unlike analog equipment, digital audio units  
produce unpleasant sounds when distorted, and there  
is no “headroom” after the 0 mark. If recording digital-  
ly from a commercially-produced CD, the volume set  
in the menu should be 0dB. This will maintain all the  
dynamic range of the source CD without clipping. Only  
boost the signal if the source is exceptionally quiet.  
An analog signal input at nominal level, with no cut or  
boost from the volume controls, is equivalent to a reading  
of –16 dB on the meters (on other words, 0 is equivalent to  
16 dBFS).  
4
Press the PLAY key or the PAUSE key to start re-  
cording.  
Note that there is no need to “cue up” the recording  
position—the unit always finds the next available  
location on the disc and start recording to it.  
5
Press the PAUSE key to pause recording temporar-  
ily. The pause indicator on the display appears.  
Pressing the PAUSE or PLAY key again restarts  
recording with a new track number.

Time display while recording  
During recording, three options are available for the time  
display modes.  
the elapsed time of the track currently being recorded (no  
indicator lit) and the total time recorded on the disc (TOTAL).  
NOTE  
When in record or record standby mode, repeated presses  
of the DISPLAY key cycles through displaying the remain-  
ing time left for recording on the disc (TOTAL REMAIN),  
In record mode, REMAIN shows the same time display  
as TOTAL REMAIN.  
Playing back tracks  
Although an unfinalized disc cannot be played back on  
an ordinary CD player, the CC-222SLMKII can play back  
tracks that have been recorded. Use the MULTI DIAL  
control or the SKIP keys to select a track for playback.  
Restricting the number of tracks  
When making a recording, it is possible to restrict the  
number of tracks that may be recorded at one time.  
The maximum number can be entered is 99 tracks  
Every time a track division is made, the number shown at  
the right of the display goes down by one.  
At any time within record or record standby mode, turn the  
MULTI DIAL control or use the SKIP keys.  
The number of remaining tracks can be changed during

recording using the MULTI DIAL control.  
Full disc  
If the disc becomes full during recording, the unit will  
automatically insert a fade-out. For example:When record-  
ing a long program, just before the end of the disc is  
reached, the unit starts a fade-out over four seconds and  
the display will show Fade Out.  
If the disc is a CD-RW, the final track can be erased, if  
required (see “Erasing” on page 28) and the disc then final-  
ized. If the disc is a CD-R, it must be finalized prior to use  
(see “Finalizing” on page 28).  
When the fade-out has finished, the display shows Disc  
Full!. Press the STOP key to exit.

Advanced recording  
Setting the trigger level  
The signal level which may be used with synchronized  
recording operations (here called the “trigger level” or  
“threshold”) is set as below:  
Low numerical values of this setting (towards –24) mean  
that it takes a louder signal to trigger the start of the  
synchronized recording. A high numerical value (towards –  
72) means that a relatively quiet signal will trigger the start  
of recording.  
1
With a recordable disc loaded, press the MENU key  
until the display shows: S_LVL>-XXdB, where -XX  
is the current value.  
When a digital source is selected, there is another option,  
DD, which means that any digital signal above the zero  
level will trigger the recording.  
2
Turn the MULTI DIAL control or use the SKIP keys  
to change the value between -24, -30, -36, -42, -48,  
-54, -60, -66, and -72 dB (-60, -66 and -72 are only  
for digital signal).  
Using the trigger level  
An input signal used as trigger to start recording is the  
sound level rises above the threshold for one second or  
more:  
If the “noise floor” is higher than the threshold, synchro-  
nized recording will not take place.

Turn the MULTI DIAL or use the SKIP keys to  
change the copy-protection setting.  
NOTE  
Copy-protection applies on a “per-track”, not a per-disc  
basis. This means that you can apply different copy-  
protection levels to different tracks (but you can’t apply  
different copy-protection levels to different parts of  
the same track). If copy-protection is important to your  
work, you may want to check this setting every time you  
make a recording, to ensure that you have the protec-  
tion level that you want.  
There are three settings:  
FREE (may be freely copied), where no copy-pro-  
tection is applied to the recorded disc.  
1GEN (single-generation copying), where one digital  
copy (“child”) can be made from the recorded disc, but  
no digital copies (“grandchildren”) can be made from  
the child.

can be deleted, and if there is space, further material can  
be recorded on them. Even if the disc is full, tracks can be  
erased following the unfinalize process, and new material  
can be recorded.  
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-222SLMKII, that is, their TOC  
Finalizing  
As has been explained earlier (see “Finalizing” on page 9),  
in order for a disc to become a standard CD, it must have  
a Table of Contents (TOC) written to it. This process is  
known as finalizing.  
2
To start the finalizing process, press the MULTI  
DIAL or press the ENTER key. If you do not want to  
proceed with the finalizing process, press the FI-  
NALIZE key or STOP key.  
An unfinalized disc can always be distinguished on the  
CC-222SLMKII by the NO TOC indicator under the disc  
type on the display being lit when the disc is inserted.  
If finalization has been chosen, the display changes.  
The NO TOc indicator goes out, and the word TOCand  
the Rec indicator flash in the display. The unit starts  
counting down from a time shown on the display.  
CAUTION  
Do not turn the power off during this operation. Not  
only you may lose the recorded data, but also the disc  
may be damaged and become un-usable.  
After finalization, cD-RW, NO TOc indicator changes to  
cD-RW and cD-R, NO TOc changes to cD-R indicator.  
NOTE  
To finalize a disc:  
Although CD-R discs finalized on the CC-222SLMKII  
may be replayed on ordinary CD players, remember  
that finalized CD-RW discs may not play on CD play-  
ers.

With the unfinalized (recordable) disc loaded, and  
the unit in stop mode, press the FINALIZE key.  
The display shows Finalize OK ?.  
Unfinalizing CD-RW discs  
If a CD-RW disc has been finalized, it is possible to erase  
the Table of Contents in the following way:  
If unfinalization has been chosen, the NO TOc indicator  
starts flashing in the display, and the word ERASE  
also starts flashing. The unit starts counting down  
from a time shown on the display.

With the finalized disc loaded and the unit in stop  
mode, press the ERASE key.  
After unfinalization, cD-RW indicator changes to cD-  
RW, NO TOc indicator.

If the display does not show the word Unfinal-  
ize?, turn the MULTI DIAL or use the SKIP keys  
until it is displayed.  
3
To start the unfinalizing process, press the MULTI  
DIAL control or press the ENTER key.  
If you do not want to proceed with the unfinalizing  
process, press the ERASE key or STOP key.  
Erasing  
Unfinalizing (described above) is a special case of eras-  
ing a disc. It is also possible to erase a track or tracks,  
starting with the last-recorded track, a whole disc, or to  
“refresh” a disc.  
NOTE  
Erase procedures are possible only on a CD-RW disc.  
Even if a CD-RW disc has been finalized, selecting an  
erase procedure will automatically unfinalize it prior  
to erasure. The disc may then have to be re-finalized.  
Remember that it is not possible to perform any erase  
procedures on a CD-R disc.

Prepare for recording as described above (load a  
tape, set the REV MODE, etc.).  
The dubbing stops when playback reaches the end of the  
CD, or when the tape reaches the end of its run (one side in  
the case of single-sided (Ä) reverse mode, both sides in  
the Ë reverse mode), whichever comes first.  
Load the source CD disc into the unit with the re-  
corded side down.  
Use the MENU key to set the dubbing volume to  
THRUto bypass the input level control (see Bypass-  
ing the input level for dubbing” on page 24).  
Note that if the tape is set to auto-reverse, and the last item  
recorded on one side of a tape was not completely recorded  
before the tape was reversed, that item will be automati-  
cally repeated.  
If you want to adjust the input volume, set the  
DUB>VOLmenu to ONand use the left (tape) INPUT  
control to adjust the level of signals fed to the tape  
from the CD player.  
Also note that when the tape automatically reverses, eight  
seconds are used as non-recorded time at the beginning  
of the second side (the tape is in record mode, but the CD  
does not play back), again to allow for leader tape at the  
start of the cassette.  
NOTE  
If you want to record the tracks on the tape in a differ-  
ent order from those on the disc, use the programmed  
playback mode to rearrange the tracks (see “Program  
playback” on page 17). Leave the disc in stop mode  
when you have finished programming the order.  
The dubbing process can also be stopped manually with  
the STOP key of the cassette deck or the CD deck. All  
other transport keys are disabled.

If the tape is currently in stop mode, the tape re-  
winds, and the deck enters record standby mode  
(about eight seconds from the start of the cassette,  
to allow for leader tape).  
If the tape deck is already in record standby mode,  
it will remain in record standby mode.

four seconds while recording is in progress, silence is  
recorded on the tape while the key is held down. The deck  
enters record standby mode when the key is released.  
When recording, press and release either of the REC  
MUTE keys (main or remote). With the tape moving, the  
record source is muted for about four seconds (the display  
record indicator flashes), and the deck then enters record  
pause mode. Press PAUSE or PLAY to re-start recording.

Other tape functions and features  
Tape counter  
NOTE  
The tape counter value increments when the tape is  
moving from left to right, and decrements when it moves  
from right to left.  
If the current tape position is too close to the 0000  
mark (greater than 9995 or less than 0004), this func-  
tion is not available.  
Use either of the RESET keys (main or remote) to reset the  
value to 0000.  
When the counter has been set to 0000, this position can be  
reached easily by pressing either of the RTZ keys (main or  
remote). The tape fast forwards or fast rewinds to the 0000  
mark.  
Pitch control  
The tape speed can be controlled using the PITCH  
CONTROL.  
Turning this to the right of the center position results in  
faster tape speed (higher pitch), and turning to the left  
of the center position results in slower tape speed (lower  
pitch). The maximum is 10% away from normal.  
The center “neutral” position is marked by a click detent.
