2.2. Features

• LCD-displayed operation guides and handy selection dial facilitate recording and playback.

• Holds up to two memory cards.

• The combination of two sampling frequencies (32 kHz and 44.1 kHz) and four recording grades ("Long","Normal", "High" and "Extremely High") permits selection of up to eight levels of recording sound quality tobest suit given situation.

• Recorded sentences can be combined into complete messages and played back as a program.

• Up to 256 programs can be played back.

• Up to 256 or 1,024 sentences (changeable) can be recorded (when two memory cards are installed).

• Two different messages can be simultaneously output to two different locations.

• In emergency situations, emergency messages can be set to override current programs. (Emergencymessages must be pre-recorded.)

• Recording, playback, erasure, and stop can be remotely controlled by external equipment.

• Detachable front cover protects the memory cards from tampering.

• Key lock function prevents accidental key setting changes and tampering of the keys.

• Optional emergency power supply panel permits operation even during power failures.

• Built-in timer allows the same message to be repeated at preset time intervals.

2.3. Handling Precautions

• Do not use the unit near heaters or in locations exposed to sunlight. The unit's plastic parts may bedeformed or its finish discolored.

• Avoid installing the unit in humid or dusty locations, as doing otherwise may cause the unit's failure.

• When the unit gets dirty with dust or oil, wipe down with a soft, dry cloth. Never use a chemically-processedcleaning towel or volatile liquids, such as benzine and thinner, because the unit's plastic parts may bedeformed or its finish discolored.

2.4. About the Memory Card

The memory card to be used in conjunction with the unit is optional. Purchase the card separately from theunit.

2.4.1. Usable memory cardsTwo different types of memory card can be used with the unit: ATA flash memory card and SRAM memorycard. Note that purely flash memory cards cannot be used.

5. THE SENTENCE AND THE PROGRAM

5.1. Sentence

• The sentence is the minimum unit of recording data that the Digital Announcer handles. One sentence iscreated per recording.

• Every sound source, such as a message, chime tone and background music, can be recorded into thesentence.

• Up to 128 sentences (at the initial formatting) can be recorded per card when recording manually orremotely.The maximum number of sentences that can be recorded can be set for 128 or 512 when reformatting thememory card.

• The sentence number is A001-A128 (or A512) when recorded on the Slot A card, and B001-B128 (or B512)when recorded on the Slot B card. However, if the recorded Slot A card is inserted into Slot B, the numberchanges from A001-A128 (or A512) to B001-B128 (or B512).

• The title of up to eight characters (alphanumeric characters and symbols) can be assigned to eachsentence.

• Sentences can be recorded on either of two cards.

• When the card is inserted into both Slots A and B, the maximum recording time is a sum of the recordingtime of both cards. Note that a single sentence cannot be recorded over two cards.

• You cannot record in excess of the card's recording time even if the number of sentences recorded is lessthan 128 or 512 the maximum number of sentences that can be recorded.

5.2. Program

• The program is playback data consisting of Playback Sound Data*1 and Control Data*2. The program iswritten into a card A.*1 Combined data of Sentence and Silent Interval.*2 Comprised of the Playback Method, Output Channel (output 1, output 2 or outputs 1 and 2), Title and

Output level (volume).

• Up to 128 steps of the Sentence and Silent Interval can be combined for the Playback Sound Data of oneprogram. The step refers to the sequence of playback.

• The title of up to eight characters (alphanumeric characters and symbols) can be assigned to each program.

• Up to 256 programs (P001-P256) can be input regardless of whether the number of cards inserted is one ortwo.

• The Silent Interval time of 0-127 seconds can be input, which is adjustable in 0.1-second units if the intervaltime is 0-10 seconds, and in 1-second unit if 10-127 seconds.

• To play back sounds, designate the program written into a card A. Playback cannot be achieved bydesignating the sentence.

6. RECORDING

6.1. Before Recording

6.1.1. Notes on recordingThere are some types of memory cards which cannot be used with the unit (refer to p. 7). If such an unusablecard is installed, the screen will tell you to the effect that the card cannot be used. The same indication is alsodisplayed if the card installed is broken even though it is of correct type. In such cases, replace the memorycard. Note that the memory card must be formatted whenever recording on the new card.

6.1.2. ConnectionsConnect the microphones for recording or external musical equipment to be used as a recording soundsource.

Note: Simultaneously recording multiple source equipment connected to the unit mixes all inputs from suchequipment.

6.2. Recording Sound Quality

Eight different types of recording sound quality are made available to the unit, so that you can select thesound quality best suited to given situation depending on the type of recording sound source, recording time,and type of memory card to use.

If the recording grade is selected, the unit begins to record audio signals compressed using the following bitrates:

・Even though the recording grade is the same, the sound quality of the 32 kHz sampling frequency is higher,although its reproducing frequency range is narrower than that of 44.1 kHz sampling frequency.

・Sampling frequency vs. reproducing frequency rangeSampling frequency 32 kHz : Reproducing frequency range 20 Hz - 14 kHzSampling frequency 44.1 kHz: Reproducing frequency range 20 Hz - 20 kHz

Recording grade and recording time

Sampling frequency vs. reproducing frequency range

・Recording grade and sampling frequency can be set individually for each sentence (recording unit) in onememory card. Because the recording sound quality best suited to each sentence can be selectedindividually, the card can be efficiently used for recording.

・ It is possible to combine sentences recorded using different recording grades and sampling frequencies,and play back such sentences as a program (playback unit).

Applications of the recording sound qualityThe following table provides the guidelines on the selection of the sound quality.

・For the sampling frequency, usually use 32 kHz. In this event, the frequency response is 20 Hz-14 kHz.・When requiring the frequency response of 20 Hz-20 kHz, use the sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.

6.4. Recording the Emergency Sentence

[Card slot for the emergency sentence recording]・The emergency sentence is recorded on the slot A memory card when two cards are inserted into both

slots A and B. Also, the emergency sentence is recorded on the slot A memory card when the card is onlyinserted into slot A, and on the slot B memory card when only inserted into slot B.

[Remarks]・ It is impossible to copy the emergency sentence. ・ It is impossible to change the emergency sentence title.

(Refer to p. 24 “Emergency sentence recording.”)

Note: The method is factory-preset for manual start recording.

6.3.2. Setting of automatic start recordingThis function is enabled by setting the recording method for this mode. (Refer to p. 22)The level at which recording starts automatically can be set.

7.3. Emergency Playback (External Activation)

By directly designating and activating a recorded emergency sentence, emergency playback can be achievedwith no need to set programs. Even when the unit is in use for broadcast from the microphone or externalequipment or it is playing back a program, the current broadcast is interrupted and the program playbackstops, allowing the emergency broadcast to go through.

・The emergency sentence is played back from both Outputs 1 and 2.During emergency playback, both busy outputs 1 and 2 are shorted.

・The emergency sentence is broadcast at the maximum sound volume. To adjust the emergency broadcastvolume, use the output volume control located on the rear panel.

・ Insert the card containing the emergency sentence into card slot A. The emergency sentence recorded onthe slot B memory card can be played back only when the card is not inserted into slot A. Emergencyplayback cannot be accomplished when the card containing no emergency sentence is inserted into slot A. For recording the emergency sentence, refer to p. 21.

7.4. Playing Back the Emergency Sentence

The emergency sentence cannot be played back manually. Arrange the switch for emergency playbackactivation separately, and connect that switch to the emergency playback activation control input located onthe rear panel. Shorting that switch activates the emergency playback. To stop playback of the emergency sentence, press the front-mounted [STOP] key. (This function can not beachioed by remote control.)

Switch for emergency playback activation(Arrange separately.)

COMEMER-GENCY

The emergency sentence is played back regardless of activation modes 1-7 set at menu “5-2 ACTIVATIONMODE SELECTION.”

● One-shot pulse input activationThe emergency sentence is played back once, and then stops.

● Level-operated input activationThe same emergency sentence is played back repeatedly as far as the emergency terminal is closed. Whenthe emergency terminal is opened, playback stops after the remaining part of the emergency sentence iscompleted.

8.1.2. Playback MethodThere are 4 different playback methods. Select one of them when making the setting.

[Continuous program playback]Sentences and silent intervals registered into the program are consecutively played back in order of stepnumber, and playback stops after the program is completed. This method (factory-preset) is used for programplayback unless other method is especially selected.

To stop playback manually, press the [STOP] key or short the Stop terminal.

[Single-program playback]One each of sentences silent intervals registered into the program is played back in order of step numbereach time the unit is activated. Playback automatically stops after a single sentence is completed. After thelast sentence is completed, playback returns to the first step of the program with the next activation. Activatingthe unit in the Stop mode (initiated by either pressing the [STOP] key or shorting the Stop control terminals)begins playback from the next step number. In addition to manual playback and terminal-activated playback, itis also possible to automatically playback sentences with time intervals (program intervals) set between themusing the unit’s built-in timer (Interval Broadcast). Intervals of OFF, 10-50 seconds (in 10-second units), or 1-99minutes (in 1-minute units) can be set.

To stop playback manually, press the [STOP] key or short the Stop terminal.

Playback begins with thefirst sentence (A002)when activated next time.

8.6. Setting Functions (6. ENVIRONMENT SETTING)

8.6.1. Operation beep setting (6-1 OPERATION BEEP)Whether to sound (ON) or not to sound (OFF) a beep when pressing the keys can be set.Refer to p. 72 for the operation procedures.

Note: Factory-preset for ON.

8.6.2. RS-232C setting (6-2 RS-232C SETTING)Set the RS-232C communication speed for 4,800 bps, 9,600 bps (factory-preset) or 19,200 bps. Refer to p.72 for the operation procedures.

8.6.3. Password setting (6-3 PASSWORD)Setting the password locks the keys to prevent malfunctions or tampering. Refer to p. 72 for the operation procedures.

Note: Any password is not preset when the unit is supplied from the factory.

49

8.6.4. Initializing the digital announcer (6-4 DIGITAL ANNOUNCER INITIALIZATION)All settings return to the initial values set by the factory.The setting contents are initialized in the setting menus; "RECORDING SETTING," "4. OUTPUT/VOLUMESETTING," "5. OPERATION SETTING," "6. ENVIRONMENT SETTING," and "9. AUTO-LEVEL SETTING."Refer to p. 72 for the operation procedures.

8.6.5. Key lock setting (6-5 KEY LOCK)This function allows the keys to be locked. You must set the password when using this function. Setting thekey lock function for ON disables all the keys and dials except the power switch, preventing malfunctions andtampering. Refer to p. 72 for the operation procedures.

Note: The key lock function is factory-preset for OFF.

8.6.6. Version indication (6-6 VERSION INDICATION)Displays the version of the unit's program software. Select the corresponding item with the [SELECT] dial, andthe version is displayed.Refer to p. 72 for the operation procedures.

8.7. Setting Functions (7. EDITING THE CARDS)

You can assign a name to the card or re-format the card.

8.7.1. Entering or editing the card name (7-1 CARD NAME INPUT)You can assign a name to the recorded card or modify the registered card name.Refer to p. 74 for the operation procedures.

8.7.2. Reformatting the memory card (7-2 CARD REFORMATTING)Cards can be re-formatted. Note that the whole of the recorded content is erased if the card is re-formatted.Refer to p. 74 for the operation procedures.

8.7.3. Optimization of the cards (7-3 CARD OPTIMIZATION)Erasing the sentences in the card may shorten the card's remaining recording time. This, however, can beavoided by optimizing the card. Be sure to optimize the card after erasing the sentences.Refer to p. 76 for the operation procedures.

8.7.4. Software-operated write protection (7-4 SOFTWARE WRITE PROTECT)Recorded or set contents of the card can be protected. Protecting the card makes it impossible to register,erase or edit sentences, and to change programs. It is highly recommended that the finished card beprotected to avoid the accidental erasure of the card's contents. Programs can be played back or verified, andsentences verified even if the card is protected.

Note: The software-operated write protection function is factory-preset for OFF for both cards A and B.

When the SRAM card is used, it is protected as follows depending on the card's write protect (WP) switchsetting and the on-off status of the software-operated write protection.

WP switch: WP position, software write protection: ON → Protection ONWP switch: WP position, software write protection: OFF → Protection ONWP switch: Opposite position of WP, software write protection: ON → Protection ONWP switch: Opposite position of WP, software write protection: OFF → Protection OFF

Note that the software-operated write protection cannot be set if the WP switch is already set to WP position.To disable the protection of the card with the WP switch in WP position after setting the software-operatedwrite protection for ON, set the WP switch to WP position first, then set the software-operated protection forOFF.

Refer to p. 76 for the operation procedures.

8.8. Setting Functions (8. COPYING THE PROGRAM, SENTENCE AND CARD)

You can copy a created program or recorded sentence to the new program number or new sentence number.Sentences on the card A can be copied to the card B. In addition, the whole content of one card can be copiedto another card.

8.8.1. Copying a program (8-1 PROGRAM COPYING)You can copy a created program on the card A to a different program number on the card A.Refer to p. 77 for the operation procedures.

Note: The program to be copied overwrites the program to copy to.

8.8.2. Copying a sentence (8-2 SENTENCE COPYING)You can copy a recorded sentence to a new sentence number on the card A or card B.Refer to p. 78 for the operation procedures.

Note: Emergency sentences cannot be copied.

8.8.3. Copying the memory card (8-3 CARD COPYING)You can copy the whole content of one card to another card. Insert the card to be copied into card slot A, andthe card to copy to into slot B.Refer to p. 78 for the operation procedures.

Note: Both cards must be identical in type and capacity.

[Copy error massage]1. The following error message is displayed when the destination card (card B) is insufficient.

2. Prepare a new memory card with larger capacity.

8.8.4. What if an error message is displayed while copying the sentence?1. The following message is displayed when the sentence is copied and the memory capacity (remaining

time) to be copied is insufficient.

2. In such cases, first increase the capacity as shown below, and then copy the sentence again. (1) Optimizing the memory card to copy to could increase its capacity. (Refer to p. 76 "7-3 CARD

OPTIMIZATION.")(2) If copying is still impossible even when the card is optimized, prepare a new memory card with larger

capacity. (When only one card is in use, install one more card.)

Tips(1) Recording grade (Long, Normal, High or Extremely High) set for the source card is applied to the sentence

copying regardless of the unit's recording grade setting. (2) The recording time and recording grade can be checked from the following indications: (Refer to p. 62 "2-1

SENTENCE VERIFICATION.")

(3) The remaining recording time which permits sentence copying can be checked from the followingindications:

However, to make this check, the unit must be set for the same recording grade as the source sentence to becopied in the recording setting. If the setting differs, the remaining time cannot be accurately shown. (Refer top. 22 “Recording setting procedure.”)

・Signals to both the microphone input and auxiliary input are internally mixed during recording, permittingsimultaneous recording of announcements and background music.

・Signals to two auxiliary input terminals on the front panel are internally mixed. Therefore, the stereo outputof the musical equipment connected to these terminals changes to the monaural output.

・Signals to the microphone input and auxiliary input are not sent out from Output 1 or 2 during recording.They are only sent out from the headphone output.

・Sounds emanating from Outputs 1 and 2 do not stop even if a headphone is connected to the headphoneterminal.

・Outputs 1 and 2 of the terminal block provide the same signal as the phone jack outputs 1 and 2.・Use the contact input under the condition of no-voltage make contact, 24 VDC for open voltage, 10 mA for

short-circuit current, and 50 ms or more for short-circuit time.・The contact capacity is 30 VDC/500 mA or less when using the busy output.・Be sure to use a relay contact with enough capacity when directly controlling the amplifier power.

11.1.4. Error detection output terminalThis terminal normally closes.It breaks when the unit falls into the following states:(1) No memory card is inserted into Card Slot A or B.(2) The memory card of the type that cannot be used or the faulty memory card is mounted.(3) The SRAM memory card's battery drops.(4) The unit's power is switched off. (5) The unit malfunctions.

As to (1) - (4), the terminal makes if the situation returns to normal.When the unit malfunctions (5), switch off the power once, then switch on the power again. The terminalmakes when the problem is corrected. However, should the unit continue to malfunction, its failure can beconsidered. In such cases, consult with the shop from where the unit was purchased.
