TOA Electronics VM-2120 Compactflash CF Card Recording, Setting items and contents

27. COMPACTFLASH (CF) CARD RECORDING

27.1. Recording

•Use TOA's EV-350R Digital Announcer for CF card recording.

•The table below shows an example of Program/Sentence composition for Messages 1 – 8.

[Setting items and contents]

(1)Set the items in "Program No." (P001 – P008) and "Playback method" columns as shown in the table. Besides, be sure to set the "Busy output (at repeat interval)" (omitted in the table) for ON (factory-preset).

(2)The contents in "Number of repeats", "Repeat interval", and "Sentence No. (or Silent Section)" are given for an example.

(3)Determine the optimum "Output level" for each Program by performing the operation. (Factory-preset level: Graduation 6)

Note: The VM amplifier ignores the following settings programmed by the EV-350R.

(1)Program title, Sentence title

(2)Output (1 and/or 2)

(3)The setting contents to be registered in the EV-350R unit, not in the CF card. (See the item marked (*2) in the "Summarized Operational Functions" on page 15 of the "EV-350R OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.")

Refer to the "Digital Announcer EV-350R Operating Instructions" for terminologies and recording method.

[Usable CF Cards (their card adapter required)]

•Use the "SanDisk"* CompactFlash* (CF) card.

Required card capacity (16 - 96 MB) depends on the recording time and sound quality. For reference, see the card capacity vs. recording time table on page 8 of the "EV-350R OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS."

Be sure to keep 10-second or longer unrecorded portion on the card because it is used for controlling the EV-200 board's surveillance function.

•Place the CF card in the CompactFlash card adapter, then insert the adapter into the memory card slot on the EV-350R's front panel.

Caution

•When the EV-200 is mounted, never move the unit from one place to another with the Flash Card inserted because the EV-200 or the CompactFlash card may fail.

•Avoid inserting or withdrawing the CompactFlash card while the unit is alive.
