13 CONNECTING PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENT

Note:

Use a USB/ RS-232C cable shorter than 3 meters.

COMPUTER

The

USB

connector allows you to directly connect a computer by using a USB (AB type) or RS-232C cable. By

connecting a USB cable to the PC, you can enable the input and output of the transmission and reception of sound.
You must use the ARUA-10 software, available at the following URL, to control the USB audio system line of the
PC. (The virtual COM port driver can also be downloaded from the following URL.)

• To transmit the signal from the PC, you must either turn the DATA VOX function ON or ground pin 9 (PKS) of

the ACC2 connector to pin 8 (GND). (Refer to page 30 for the DATA VOX function.)

Note:

◆

The USB cable and RS-232C cable are not included; purchase them separately.

◆

Connect the USB cable directly to the PC.

◆

In theory, a delay occurs in the USB audio system. Therefore, sound may be clipped when using a PC in this system. Use this USB

audio system in cases where you are recording communications that do not require quick responses to a PC.

COMPATIBLE TRANSCEIVER

When transferring data to or from another TS-590S, TS-480HX/SAT, TS-2000/X, TS-570S/D, or TS-870S, directly
connect the 2 transceivers using the

COM
