4When FLASH is lit, you can trigger flash-start playback from a PS/2 keyboard connected to the front panel or from an external device connected to the SS-R1’s parallel connector.

If you’re using a PS/2 keyboard, the CTRL+function keys (F1–F12) will flash-start tracks 1–12 (see “Keyboard operations” on page 61).

If you’re using the external parallel connector, you’ll be able to flash-start tracks 1–20 (see “Control connec- tions” on page 8).

5 − Playback

NOTE

Tracks used with flash start must have the same sampling frequency. If a track with a different sampling frequency is detected while loading the tracks, the display will indicate FLASH LOAD.

TIP

You can make flash start settings for the desired tracks in an efficient way by specifying the play area as PLAYLIST and then selecting a playlist containing only the tracks you want to flash-start. (See “Using the playlist finder” on page 55, “Play area” on page 21.)

End of disc/track message (EOM)

If the EOM function is on, an EOM tally signal will be output from the CONTROL I/O (PARALLEL) connector when the time remaining in the track or the play area falls below the specified duration.

Specifying an EOM tally output trigger

Use menu mode to specify the remaining track time or playlist time that will trigger the output of an EOM tally signal (for details on menu operations, refer to “Operations in the menu screens” on page 16).

1Press the MENU key to access the main menu list screen.

2 Select the PLAY menu.

3 Highlight PREFERENCE.

4Press the front panel ˚ key (or the remote’s CURSOR ¥) key to proceed to the PLAY PREF-

ERENCE screen.

5Select EOM TRACK if you want to use the track remaining time as the trigger, or EOM MEDIUM if you want to use the remaining time in the play area as the trigger.

6Turn the MULTI JOG dial (or use the remote’s CURSOR § , ¶ keys) to specify the remaining time that will trigger the tally output.

You can choose from the range of OFFor 1–99(sec- onds).

7When you’ve finished making settings, press the TIME (ESC) key to return to the home screen.

NOTE

This setting is remembered even when the power is off.

Example of actual use

1To the CONTROL I/O (PARALLEL) connector, con- nect the device that will receive the EOM tally signal.

2Power-on the SS-R1 and the receiving device.3 Begin playback on the SS-R1.

When the remaining time of the current track or the play area falls below the specified time duration, the EOM indicator in the home screen will blink, and an EOM tally signal will be output from the CONTROL I/ O (PARALLEL) connector.

If the remaining time of both the track and the play area have been specified as triggers, an EOM tally signal will be transmitted when either condition is satisfied.
