You cannot achieve control input playback merely by connecting a device to the port. Be sure to set the control input mode and match the method used for connecting to the connectors. fig. inp-14 Binary Specification Port No. 1--8 87654321 01110000 START SIGNAL Phrase 112 PLAY * To conduct Binary Playback, you will need to obtain a control device capable of generating binary signals. * Input of binary specifications should be completed in no more than 50 milliseconds. Connecting External Devices Connectors Used in Binary Playback "1­8": Phrases are specified in binary format using combinations of 0 (Off) and 1 (On). In addition to the connectors just described, shorting the 11/ 12 (GND) (Ground) connectors enables "On. " fig. inp-15 Procedure for Setting the Control Input Mode 1.

A maximum of 250 phrases can be selected and played back with this method. This allows you to specify 250 phrases with control signals (from a switch or other ON/OFF signal device), without having to use computers or other complicated equipment. "Important Notes on Making Connections and Switching the Power On and Off" (p. 9) Even without connecting to all eight connectors used for making the binary specifications, you can still conduct Binary Playback. The number of phrases that can be specified is determined by the formula "two to the nth power minus one" (with "n" being the number of connectors used). Example: Using three timers or other such devices capable of outputting the necessary signals gives two to the third power minus one (i. e. , 8 - 1 = 7), meaning you can specify the seven phrases 001 through 007. However, start signals feature other special requirements. 31 Controlling the AR-200 from an External Device (Control Input Connectors) Operational Specifications of Binary Playback Basic Operation of Binary Playback fig. inp-16 Procedure for Setting the Control Input Mode 1.
