Playback Instructions (Control Input Playback)
You can use the control input and DC input screw terminals (CONTROL A)
and the 25-pin D-sub-type control I/O connector (CONTROL B) on the AR-
200S’s rear panel to control the AR-200S from an external device.
This chapter explains how to connect external devices and make the settings
for the AR-200S.
* The control I/O connector cannot be used to switch the power to the AR unit on or off.
On the AR-200S, a single unit amount of recorded data (audio signals) is called
a phrase. Phrases are managed using phrase numbers.
There are four types of control input playback: Playback by Card Data (p. 10),
Direct Playback (Last-In) (p. 11), Binary Playback (p. 12), and Interval Playback
(p. 13). You cannot use more than one type of playback at the same time.
Operational Specifications for Control Input
Playback
* The AR-200S features one type of control input recording, “Terminal Rec”(p.
14).
This is contact that makes starting possible simply by connecting two lines to
the control input connectors and shorting their ends. This is a general-use
method that lets you create start systems easily using only a switch and
without any need for a power source, enabling easy use for a variety of
applications.
You can control playback and recording with the AR-200S using On/Off
signals from No-voltage/Make-contact input from an external source.
By connecting infrared sensors or switches, relays, and timers, or other
external starting connectors to the AR-200S, you can use the unit in an even
wider variety of applications.
The AR-200S can help simplify installation operations by making the starting-
side contact hot and sharing the ground as the common connector.
For more on the control input specifications, refer to
Control I/O
Connector Specifications
(p. 23) in the Appendices.
Playback will use the settings (playback method) recorded in the card. For
more information, please refer to the owner’s manuals for each device.
* Some functions are not available. (p. 21)
Playback mode is available Direct Playback (Normal).
Phrases 1 through 9 are assigned to the control I/O connector Port Nos. 1
through 9.
Direct Playback (Normal Playback)
A phrase is played back when a control signal is input directly to the terminal
with the number to which the phrase is assigned. Up to 9 phrases can be
played back.Assign Phrases 1 through 9 beforehand to Port Nos. 1 through 9,
respectively.
This makes it very convenient when you want to specify a desired phrase
directly using a switch, relay, sensor, or other such means.

Connectors Used for Direct Play (Control I/O
Connector)

* Control Input and DC Input Terminal (CONTROL A) “1, 2” are connected in
parallel with Control I/O Connector (CONTROL B) “1, 2.”
Basic Operation of Direct Playback (Normal Playback)
fig.CtrIn-Dir02.e
Playback:
Input a control signal to a Port, 1–9.
→
The phrase assigned to the Port is played back.
Stopping:
Input a control signal to Port 10 (STOP).
→
Playback of the phrase is stopped.
Terminal Priorities
fig.CtrIn-DirPrior.e
•
When a new high-priority control signal is input during phrase
playback
Playback of the current phrase is stopped, and playback of the specified
phrase begins.
fig.CtrIn-Dir03A.e
* If a control signal has a lower priority than that of the phrase currently being
played back, the specified phrase is not played back.
•
While the control signal is continuously input
Playback is repeated while the signal is input.

Inputting a control signal directly to the terminal with the num-
ber corresponding to the phrase starts playback of the phrase.
