Playback Instructions (Control Input Playback)
By inputting binary (Base 2) signals to Port Nos. 1 through 8 to select a phrase
and inputting a start message to the START terminal, you can then play back
the selected phrase. 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.

* To conduct Binary Playback, you will need to obtain a control device capable of
generating binary signals.
fig.CtrIn-BinPin.e
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.
fig.CtrIn-Bin02.e
Playback:
Specify the phrases using combinations of 0 (Off) and 1 (On)
signals to Port Nos. 1 through 8, and Port Nos. 11 and 12, and
input a control signal to the Port No. 9 (START).
This plays back the specified phrase.
Stopping:
Input a control signal to Port No. 10 (STOP).
This stops playback of the phrase.
The basic operation of Binary Playback is shown below.
fig.CtrIn-Bin03.e
Binary specified phrases are played back repeatedly.
Playback is repeated while the start signal is continuously input.
You can begin playback of phrases by specifying phrases in binary with
the start signal continuously being input.
When the START connector control signal switches to Off, the current
phrase finishes, and then playback is stopped.
No action results when a new start signal is input while a phrase is being
played back.
With the power to the AR-200S switched off, set the MODE switches on the
bottom panel as shown below.
SW 1:
OFF,
SW 2:
ON
Example:
Specifying Phrase 112 (Phrase #: 112)
Convert the phrase number to a binary signal number.
“0” (Off), “1” (On)
According to the
Phrase Number / Binary Signal chart
(p. 13), the
phrase number “112” is converted to the binary number “01110000.”
fig.CtrIn-Bin04.e
Input of binary specifications should be completed in no more
than 50 milliseconds.
