= PL (PLay)

Function: Playback start

Syntax: stxPL;

Note: If the playback phrase has not been specified, the minimum default value (normally A001) will be used. The phrases specified by the PA command will be played back consecutively.

* If Dual Mono Mode is ON

Since phrases will be played back from the L or the R output depending on whether they are odd or even numbered phrases, phrases specified by the PA command will automatically be assigned to the playback memory; odd-numbered phrases will be played back from the L output, and even-numbered phrases will be played back from the R output. It is not possible to playback the L and R channels independently.

= RL ( Relative time pLay )

Function: Playback from the Middle of a Phrase

-After specifying a phrase: Playback begins 10 minutes 59 seconds from the beginning of the phrase of the specified number.

-While playback is paused: Playback begins from the point that is 10 minutes 59 seconds after the point where the pause was initiated.

Note: The number of digits for **F (frame) increases according to the value of MTC type. The range in which the offset time can be specified is valid only within a single phrase. An offset time that exceeds the recording time for the phrase cannot be specified.

(The AR-3000 outputs an ER command.) You can play back a phrase from a point offset by a specified time before or after a paused point by sending this command while playback is paused (see the PE command).

*When “Return Specified” is issued with an offset time longer than elapsed time: The phrase is played back from the beginning.

*When “Forward Specified” is issued with an offset time longer than the remaining time: An ER command is output and playback is not carried out. (The paused state remains in effect, so specify a new offset time and send an RL command again.)

Caution: The command is not compatible with the Dual Mono.

Phrases other than audio phrases cannot be specified.

= ST (STop)
