The CC-222MKIII is an advanced combo system for recording and playback of digital compact discs and analog cassettes, offering easy duplication in both directions by combining the latest technology from both formats; additional analog and digital audio units can be connected via rear panel connections for recording other sources, and a dedicated phono connection is built in, eliminating the need for a separate RIAA-equipped amplifier when archiving vinyl recordings.Unit functions as intendedFEATURES:Duplication in both directs CD -> Tape and Tape -> CDAnalog and Digital I/ODedicated Phono Input - record vinyl records to Tape or CDOwners Manual available as PDF online
At US$225, this sits right on the typical market median, so it reads as a fair, sensible ask rather than a steal or a stretch.
That makes it a solid buy if the unit is clean and fully functional, especially since combo CD/cassette decks like this are useful for archiving, playback, and simple playback convenience in one box. The real value here is practicality: if the disc side reads reliably, the cassette transport is smooth, and the controls are intact, you’re getting a versatile deck at a normal used price. At this level, completeness matters more than chasing a bargain, so I’d want to confirm remote, manual, and any adapter/cable extras if they’re included.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Tascam is a Japanese professional-audio brand whose roots trace back to TEAC, founded in 1953 by the Tani brothers. The TASCAM name emerged in the late 1960s as TEAC Audio Systems Corporation, and it was formally established in 1971 as TEAC’s U.S. distribution and development arm for recorder products aimed at musicians and studios.
The brand is best known for recorders, mixers, field recorders, multitrack production units, audio interfaces, and related studio gear. Its catalogue has historically centered on practical recording tools rather than lifestyle hi-fi, with strong associations to cassette Portastudios, reel-to-reel machines, and compact pro-audio components.
In the market, Tascam sits in the pro-audio and project-studio space rather than the high-end audiophile tier. Its reputation is built on utility, durability, and value, and some vintage models have become collector favorites, but the brand is not typically positioned as a boutique or luxury hi-fi name.
