Important Notes on Making Connections and Switching the Power On and Off

•To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.

•Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices.

(When turning the power off, reverse this procedure.) Connected device → AR-200 → Power amp, etc.

•This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will operate normally.

•To avoid risk of electric shock, do not touch the connectors while the unit is in operation.

•Never remove a card during recording of phrases. Furthermore, do not turn off the power or remove the AC adaptor cord during recording of phrases. Doing so may damage the card.

•To avoid the risk of malfunction and/or damage, insert only PC Card into the disk drive. Never insert any other type of disk. Avoid getting paper clips, coins, or any other foreign objects inside the drive.

•The pin assignment for the connectors is as shown below. Before making any connections, make sure that this pin assignment is compatible with that of all your other devices.
