The Tascam CC222mkIV CD and cassette deck now features tray-loading CD transport that was designed purposefully for audio recorders in-house by TEAC. Unlike computer drives, it's firmware allows it to record without gaps between track meters. The CC222mkIV includes a RIAA phono input which allows direct recording from a turntable; a feature which sets the CC222mkIV above all the rest. Further solidifying the CC222mkIV reputation for flexibility is its ability to be operated as two individual recorders; or, record one source to both recorders consecutively. It features digital I/O (coaxial and optical) for the CD and a set of RCA (unbalanced) analog ins and outs. The user can configure the ins and outs as two individual components or share the same I/O for both CD and cassette. The CD recorder includes popular features such as Auto Track Increment, MP3 playback, Power on Play, Fade In and Out, Manual Track Increment, and a variety of playback modes. Support for dual media has made the CC222 series a mainstay in houses of worship, schools, theaters and other installations. Only Tascam combination players and recorders deliver quality and reliability that consultants demand.
