Like its popular predecessors, the TASCAM CC-222mkIII records to both CD and cassette media at the same time and features an RIAA phono input for recording directly from a turntable. The mkIII version adds numerous features, including MP3 file playback, power-on play, optical digital output, and time track increment. The CC-222mkIII also has unbalanced RCA inputs and a new Time Track Increment feature, which automatically adds a CD track ID every few minutes (adjustable from 1 to 10 minute increments), ideal for house of worship and event recording. The CC-222mkIII can also add a track marker when the signal drops below a certain level or when the record button is pressed.
