1.1 File Types
Each audio file contained in the DMP-200 memory card must be designated as either
“speech” or “music”. While the actual audio content is irrelevant, this designation controls
how each file is presented on the DMP-200 display.
1.1.1 Speech Files
Every “Speech” file has a title and a language, as well as trigger and display attributes.
Speech files may be selected individually for playback either from the front panel or via an
external trigger.
When a speech file is selected, it will be played once in each language currently enabled
on the DMP-200. Language selections may be changed from the front panel at any time
by selecting CHOOSE LANGUAGES (this option is not available unless the card contains
speech tracks in more than one language.) The selected languages are retained when the
DMP-200 is powered down, unless default languages have been specified for the card in
CardPrep.
1.1.2 Music Files
Every “Music” file has a title and is a member of a “music list.” Like Speech files, Music
files also have trigger and display attributes when can be set in CardPrep. Music files may
be selected individually for playback either from the front panel or via an external trigger.
When a music file is selected, it will play to completion and stop, unless the track has been
designated to “loop continuously” in CardPrep.
Music files are contained within Music Lists. A Music List could be the entire contents of a
CD or playlist, or could be a collection of similar music such as “Light Jazz”. When a
Music List is selected on the DMP-200, the first choice presented for playback is “Play
Whole List”, followed by each individual music track.
1.2 Memory Cards
The DMP-200 is supplied with a CompactFlash™ memory card which will hold
approximately one hour of CD-quality audio for every 64 MB of capacity. These cards are
widely used in portable devices such as PDAs and digital cameras, and are available
through most computer supply sources. At this writing, the largest card capacity available
is 4GB (4000MB), which would provide about 64 hours of audio.
