TASCAM SS-R1 33
End of disc/track message (EOM)
If the EOM function is on, an EOM tally signal will be out-
put from the CONTROL I/O (PARALLEL) connector when
the time remaining in the track or the play area falls below
the specified duration.
Specifying an EOM tally output trigger
Use menu mode to specify the remaining track time or
playlist time that will trigger the output of an EOM tally
signal (for details on menu operations, refer to “Operations
in the menu screens” on page 16).
1 Press the MENU key to access the main menu list
screen.
2 Select the PLAY menu.
3 Highlight PREFERENCE.
4 Press the front panel ˚ key (or the remote’s
CURSOR ¥) key to proceed to the PLAY PREF-
ERENCE screen.
5 Select EOM TRACK if you want to use the track
remaining time as the trigger, or EOM MEDIUM
if you want to use the remaining time in the play
area as the trigger.
6 Turn the MULTI JOG dial (or use the remote’s
CURSOR § , ¶ keys) to specify the remaining
time that will trigger the tally output.
You can choose from the range of OFF or 1–99 (sec-
onds).
7 When you’ve finished making settings, press the
TIME (ESC) key to return to the home screen.
This setting is remembered even when the power is
off.
Example of actual use
1 To the CONTROL I/O (PARALLEL) connector, con-
nect the device that will receive the EOM tally
signal.
2 Power-on the SS-R1 and the receiving device.
3 Begin playback on the SS-R1.
When the remaining time of the current track or the
play area falls below the specified time duration, the
EOM indicator in the home screen will blink, and an
EOM tally signal will be output from the CONTROL I/
O (PARALLEL) connector.
If the remaining time of both the track and the play area
have been specified as triggers, an EOM tally signal
will be transmitted when either condition is satisfied.
4 When FLASH is lit, you can trigger flash-start
playback from a PS/2 keyboard connected to the
front panel or from an external device connected
to the SS-R1’s parallel connector.
If you’re using a PS/2 keyboard, the CTRL+function
keys (F1–F12) will flash-start tracks 1–12 (see
“Keyboard operations” on page 61).
If you’re using the external parallel connector, you’ll be
able to flash-start tracks 1–20 (see “Control connec-
tions” on page 8).
Tracks used with flash start must have the same
sampling frequency. If a track with a different
sampling frequency is detected while loading the
tracks, the display will indicate FLASH LOAD
.
You can make flash start settings for the desired tracks
in an efficient way by specifying the play area as
PLAYLIST and then selecting a playlist containing only
the tracks you want to flash-start. (See “Using the
playlist finder” on page 55, “Play area” on page 21.)
