AUDIO OUTPUT

Binary specified phrases are played back repeatedly.

Playback is repeated while the start signal is continuously input.

You can begin playback of phrases by specifying phrases in binary with the start signal continuously being input.

When the START connector control signal switches to Off, the current phrase finishes, and then playback is stopped.

No action results when a new start signal is input while a phrase is being played back.

AR-200 Settings

Selecting the Control Input Mode

Set the MODE switches on the AR-200’s bottom panel to select “BINARY PLAYBACK” from the control input modes

(PLAYBACK BY CARD DATA/DIRECT PLAYBACK/ BINARY PLAYBACK/INTERVAL PLAYBACK).

*You cannot achieve control input playback merely by connecting a device to the port. Be sure to set the control input mode and match the method used for connecting to the connectors.

Procedure for Setting the Control Input Mode

1.Turn off the power of the AR-200.

2.Set the MODE switches on the AR-200’s bottom panel as shown below.

SW1: OFF

SW2: ON

3.Turn on the power of the AR-200.

*Use a pointed object to change the ON/OFF settings of the MODE switches.

To Specify Phrases with Binary Signals

Example: Specifying Phrase 0112 (Phrase #: 0112)

1.Convert the phrase number to a binary signal number. ”0” (Off)

”1” (On)

Phrase Number/Binary Signal Correspondence Table (p. 36) The phrase number “0012” becomes the binary signal “01110000.”

With the above step, Phrase No. 0112 is converted to:
