Controlling Another Device with the
AR-3000R (Control Output Terminal)
You can control an external device from the AR-3000R by
using the output connectors among the screw-on control
terminals on the unit’s rear panel.
The AR-3000R outputs two types of control signals: BUSY
OUT and CONTROL OUT.
This chapter describes how to connect external equipment
and make the settings on the AR-3000R.
To confirm phrases when making settings, you can use the
PLAY/STOP button to play and stop phrases and the PAUSE
button to pause phrases (audio phrases only), and the
SELECT dial to move the playback location forward and
backward (audio phrases only). Note that you cannot change
settings during phrase playback.
Also refer to “Examples of Usage and Connection for the AR-
3000R” (p. 19) for more examples of usage of the control
input and output terminals.
For information about the specifications of the control input
and output terminals, refer to “Specifications of the Control
Input/Output Terminals” (p. 137).
Important Notes on Using the Control Input
and Output Terminals
* The control input and output terminals cannot be used to
switch the power to the AR-3000R on or off.
When making connections to the ports, be careful not to lose
the removed screws. Place the screws out of the reach of
small children. If a screw is accidentally swallowed,
immediately consult a physician.
