Connections
Connecting headphones
Connect your stereo headphones to the PHONES jack.
Use the PHONES knob located above the PHONES jack to
adjust the volume.
Connecting a PS/2 keyboard
You can use a keyboard to enter file (track) names and
folder names, and also use it to control the SS-R1 (see
“Operation using a computer keyboard” on page 60).
Connecting audio devices (inputs)
Connect an external audio source (e.g., CD player, mixer)
to the SS-R1s ANALOG INPUTS (BALANCED) jacks,
ANALOG INPUTS (UNBALANCED) jacks, or DIGITAL IN
jack. To select the input source, use the REC menu item
INPUT SELECT. To adjust the input volume, use the REC
menu item INPUT VOLUME.
Connecting audio devices (outputs)
Connect an external monitor system or mixer to the SS-R1s
ANALOG OUTPUTS (BALANCED) plugs, ANALOG
OUTPUTS (UNBALANCED) jacks, or DIGITAL OUT jack.
Computer
If you connect the SS-R1s RS-232C connector to your
computer’s RS-232C connector, you’ll be able to control
the SS-R1 from your computer via a serial connection.
After making connections, you’ll need to make the correct
settings on your computer (see “Using the RS-232C con-
nector” on page 63).
Control via a parallel connection
If you want to control the SS-R1 via a parallel connection
from an external controller, use the PARALLEL connector
(25-pin D-sub connector). For details on the pin configura-
tion of the PARALLEL connector, refer to “Control con-
nections” (page 8).
