Amazon.com Product Description

Designed for audio engineers, musicians, and others interested in recording CDs from sources such as vinyl LPs and cassettes, Tascam's CC-222 combines a professional-quality stereo cassette deck with a CD-RW drive in a single rackmountable component. The CC-222 is completely self-contained, requiring no computer or other peripheral device to operate. What's more, the CC-222 is compatible with both data and music (or "digital-audio") branded CD-R and CD-RW discs, freeing you to use whatever media is most suitable for your purposes.

You can connect your turntable's output directly with the CC-222's grounded RIAA phono input, which lets you burn high-quality CDs from your favorite records with ease. (The inputs are designed for use with moving-magnet cartridges.) The unit's other inputs and outputs consist of 2 each stereo analog (left/right) RCA analog inputs and outputs and 1 each coaxial and optical stereo digital-audio input and output. One line output is CD only, the other is CD and cassette (cassette sound will take priority if both units are playing).

Features include internal dubbing from cassette to CD and CD to cassette, bidirectional cassette playback (select single-side play, both-sides play, or continuous play), pitch control (+/- 12 percent, cassette only), Dolby B noise reduction (on/off), and continual/repeat playback of both CD and cassette, which will commence playback in one medium as soon as the other has stopped. You can swap tapes and discs during the other format's playback, resulting in hours of uninterrupted listening.

The CD recorder may be set to commence recording when it senses an input signal from an external audio component. You can sample-rate convert from, say, a 48 kHz DAT to the 44.1 kHz CD standard, adjust the input level in both the analog and digital domains, create additional track IDs while you're copying to CD, or bypass the sample-rate converter and the input level to create a 1:1 copy of a digital source (must be 44.1 kHz). Other CD features include random play, track programming, and repeat play (1/all/A-B looping).

Finally, a solution for music fans with a pile of cassettes!
Eversince my 60 GB iPod photo gave me the power of carrying a great part of my music collection anywhere I go, I was getting more greedy and looking for an easy mechanism to digitize my 1000+ cassette collection.I am quite happy that my search has reached an important milestone with TASCAM CC-222MKII (referred to as CC-222 henceforth).

CC-222 is presently the only equipment that converts music from tape to CD directly.Since it has autoreverse tape deck and an automatic track creation feature, a large number of cassettes can be converted with minimum effort.

CC-222 has many other recording features but I focus entirely on the tape-to-CD aspect in this review.You can download the user manual and technical specs from the company website: www.tascam.com

Good points:
+ Easy to operate; the user manual is concise but covers all aspects clearly
+ Has a helpful remote control
+ High quality conversion from tape to CD; has DOLBY NR;
+ Automatically recognizes the gap between songs in the tape and makes multiple tracks in the CD
+ Also has a manual mode in which it leaves the track marking to the user - this could be useful for converting cassette that contain something other than standard music songs
+ High quality display that is very informative
+ Lot of recording options that are easy to customize
+ Entire cassette can be converted with the push of a single button (auto-reverse)
+ Music converted to digital format is stored in its internal buffer (I guess hard disc) that doesn't go away even if you switch off the unit by mistake
+ Supports all CD-R/CD-RW discs with capacities ranging from 650 MB to 800 MB
+ Music from more than one cassette could be recorded on a CD-R to fill up all the available space on the CD [multiple recording steps]
+ For a CD-RW, it is possible to just erase the table of contents and record more tracks in case there is space
+ Selected tracks can be erased from a CD-RW; also, we can erase the entire disk at once with ERASE DISC or REFRESH DISC option
+ Writes CDs in AIFF format that is supported by most CD players, as well as iTunes/iPod

Bad points:
- Insufficient documentation about technical details
- Though not indicated in the documentation, CC-222 can only record a maximum of 76 minutes at a time (so, you can't convert a 90 minutes tape into a 90-minute CD in one shot).This was a BIG disappointment for me.
- It is good in recognizing the beginning of a song, but not the end of it -for example, the last track in your cassette might result in a track that has a long silence at the end of it
- Doesn't have an optical sensor for the cassette player (like some other TASCAM players).An optical sensor would have reduced the time to change the sides as well as prevent the possibility of tape getting ripped off while being rowound or forwarded)
- Support staff not very helpful

If you are importing the CDs digitized through CC-222 into iTunes, it is better to turn off the "On CD Insert Import & Eject" feature so that you could choose the tracks to be imported.There are cases where the long silences between songs or at the beginning/end of the tape become tracks in the CD. Also, there may be cases where the silence that was part of a song results in the song getting broken into multiple tracks.In such cases, "Join CD Tracks" in iTunes becomes very handy.I wish iTunes also had a way to split tracks and join non-adjacent tracks as well.

CC-222 also has the following features which I didn't experiment with:
* Recording from CD to tape
* SYNC recording to record live audio directly into CD or tape
* OPTICAL input
* PHONO input for turn-table
* RCA output for speaker
* Miniplug output for headphone

Overall, I am very pleased with CC-222 and would highly recommend it to music fans who are willing to generously spend for converting their cassettes into CD. ... Read more

A worthy addition to your studio

Features:
It has pretty much everything once could ask for on a recorder. The RCAs make it easy to connect to a DJ system, and the coax/SPDIF jacks are good for home theater systems, although I do wish it had XLRs to more closely match pro audio systems like sound reinforcement. Of course, that's why they make the BurnIT PLUS, but I didn't feel like spending the extra money, it isn't that hard to make things go together.

Quality:
The fit and finish are impeccable, and the purple front panel is gorgeous. Controls and switches have a good feel. It uses a little too much plastic for pro audio, and the sheet metal used in the chassis and cabinet is noticeable thinner than I am accustomed to in Mackie, Peavey, Behringer, etc. I might call it consumer grade construction, but today's consumer gear is REALLY built wimpy. Older consumer gear is closer, I would say that this machine is about at the level of DJ equipment construction-wise. I think it would be crazy to take this out on the road without rackmounting it or using a custom carrying case. Actually I would recomment rackmounting it even if it stays in the studio.

Value:
It's at a price point that would make you reconsider if you were thinking about gettting a DAT or MD recorder.

Desirability:
How can you resist the alluring metallescent purple front panel! The highly informative and readable display, and professional-feeling controls make it a very tasty item.

Sound:
What can I say? It gives you back exactly what you put into it...no noise, no distortion, nothing added, nothing subtracted. If you do your job in creating a good signal to feed into it, it will give back a perfect CD recording.

Overall:
It's a worthwhile replacement for MD recorders and can stand in place of a DAT recorder...the big bonus here is that whatever you record on this can be played back on ANYTHING: you car stereo, a home system, computers...you get the idea. Try that with a DAT or MD!
