There is a scraping sound coming from the AR- 200

•In situations such as when control signals are input continuously, the movement of the internal relays may make a scraping sound, but this does not indicate any malfunction. To prevent overuse and failure of the relay, you may also switch to Interval Playback in order to have the relay move only once.

→" Interval Playback" (p. 34)

The volume of the device connected to the output connector is low

•Are you using a connector cable that introduces or adds resistance? Use a cable that does not add resistance (such as Roland’s PCS Series).

• Has the “Delay Time” been set for the phrase?

Try playing back the phrase by pressing the AR-200’s PLAY button (manual operation). If the start of playback is delayed, check the AR-3000 to confirm whether or not the delay time has been set.

If the playback is correct when you press the AR-200’s PLAY button, check the control signals being sent from the external control device, connections and so on once more.
