Important Notes on Making Connections
and Switching the Power On and Off
921
• To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices,
always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices
before making any connections.
924
• To prevent the inadvertent
disruption of power to your unit
(should the plug be pulled out
accidentally), and to avoid
applying undue stress to the AC
adaptor jack, anchor the power
cord using the cord hook, as
shown in the illustration.
926
• When connection cables with
resistors are used, the volume
level of equipment connected to
the inputs (control/power input and control I/O terminals) may be low.
If this happens, use connection cables that do not contain resistors.
941
• Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to your
various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the
wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers
and other devices. (When turning the power off, reverse this procedure.)

• This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few
seconds) after power up is required before the unit will operate normally.
• To avoid risk of electric shock, do not touch the connectors while the unit
is in operation.
• Never remove a card during recording of phrases. Furthermore, do not
turn off the power or remove the AC adaptor cord during recording of
phrases. Doing so may damage the card.
• To avoid the risk of malfunction and/or damage, insert only
CompactFlash card into the MEMORY CARD slot. Never insert any
other type of card. Avoid getting paper clips, coins, or any other foreign
objects inside the drive.

Cards Handled by the AR-200S
With the AR-200S, recorded audio and non-audio information (phrase data) is
stored on cards.
Optional RSS CompactFlash cards (CF Series) are recommended for use
with the AR-200S.
Up to a maximum of 1000 phrases can be saved to cards formatted with the
AR-200S.
*
To format a card on the AR-200S, transmit the format command via the RS-
232C port.
*
Do not format the card on your computer.
•
When Inserting
Insert the card all the
way into the card slot.
*
Insert the card straight
into the slot, with the
card label facing
upwards.
•
When Removing
To remove the card, press the eject button.
Press the eject button firmly, all the way in.
*
Never remove a card during recording, playback, or formatting. Furthermore, do
not turn off the power or remove the AC adaptor cord during recording,
playback, or formatting. Doing so may damage the card.
The AR-200S’s file format is the same as the format for the AR-3000/3000R/200.
Using Cards Formatted on Earlier Model Units
with the AR-200S
• CompactFlash cards used with AR-3000Rs can be used as is with the AR-
200S.
• Files on PC cards used on AR-3000/200/2000/100 models can be used by
copying the data to CompactFlash with the ARE-3000.
In addition, cards can be copied with the AR-3000/3000R using an
optional CFA-1 RSS CompactFlash Card Adaptor (cards which have not
been copied using ARE-3000 or an AR-3000/3000R cannot be used).
Using Cards Formatted on the AR-200S with
Earlier Models
• Cards can be used as is with the AR-3000R.
• Cards can be used as is with the AR-3000/200 by copying the data to PC
card (PM series) with the ARE-3000. (Use an optional CFA-1 RSS
CompactFlash Card Adaptor.)
• Cards cannot be used with the AR-2000/100.
(Cards copied using other AR models cannot be used.)
