Link playback function
By using the link function, you can make a slave unit
follow the playback operations of the master unit.
You can use the slave for playback backup.
Play, ready, stop, track skip and search operations are
conveyed by the link. However, synchronization of
operations is not guaranteed with this function.
In order to minimize the delay between units, use identical
media with identical contents from the same maker in
both master and slave units. Furthermore, you should also
set the units so that they have the same playback settings
(including Auto Cue and Auto Ready functions) and flash
load statuses.
Since there is no clock synchronization, the playback time
might become slightly out of sync after playback for a
long time.
When using the link function, the digital inputs and
outputs cannot be used.

connector on the rear panel (SS-CDR200/SS-R200 only)
as well as by a TASCAM RC-20 Direct Play Remote (sold
