Usage examples

Playback devices at public facilities
This is a perfect playback unit for installation in meeting rooms at public facilities such as schools and community centers. In this situation, external control via the RS-232C serial/parallel control connector for control equipment is convenient. The SS-CDR200 and SS-R200 are equipped with connectors. It is possible to configure a system that is linked with other audio/video equipment.
When used as hall BGM, it is convenient to use folder playback and program playback of files recorded in CF/SD cards. When the power-on playback function is used, usages such as starting playback when hall power is turned ON are possible.

If the flash start system is configured by connecting the RC-20, playback of routine sound sources such as start bells and announcements for leaving is possible. It is possible to play back fixed sound sources with less time lag than standby with MD media, etc. There is not rotating mechanism, so sound sources can be used frequently for a long time without trouble.
Playback system for event sites such as wedding halls
Sites where various sound sources may be used and where flexible response is needed. At such locations, it is possible to handle various sound sources by using this with other TASCAM devices. Recently, many users bring sound sources stored in USB memory, which is easy to use. The "SS-CDR200" is convenient because it can handle four different types of media.

Flash start playback is convenient by connecting the optional RC-20. For situations such as when you want BGM to start when a bride and groom enter a hall, or when effect sounds are written onto media, flash start playback allows for sound sources to be played back without time lag.
Recording and creating meeting minutes
The "SS-CDR200", "SS-R200", and "SS-R100" are ideal for recording meeting minutes where high reliability is required because solid-state media is used. They are resistant to vibration because there is no rotating mechanism, and the media capacity can be increased, allowing for long hours of recording according to the length of the meeting. Various remote controls are available, and accurate operation is possible because all are wired remote controls.  

With the "SS-CDR200", WAV and MP3 files can be made into CD-Rs, so it is possible to create CD-R discs immediately after recording finishes and hand it to the worker who will create meeting minutes. When creating meeting minutes, monitoring by headphones without connecting to external devices is also practical.  By connecting the optional RC-3F, it is possible to perform controls such as playback, stop, and skip back using your foot while performing work such as writing or typing on a computer.
