If the power of both units is switched on, you can begin relay play. You can set play mode (ALL, GROUP, +1, PROGRAM) on each
unit separately and enjoy any combination play using both units. First, the main (ACTIVE) unit starts play in the selected play mode,
and Relay play will take effect according to the following chart (at which time the main unit will become “INACTIVE” and the second
unit will become “ACTIVE”) :
