  • Page 54 Stop Recording signal is still active. Incorporated into the A200S aircraft installation is a “Record On” jumper. During bench test of the A200S, removal of the jumper disables the record function of the recorder, thereby allowing playback of the recorded data. While in the Playback mode, replaying of recorded data is controlled by the Digital Audio Playback (DAP) Unit.
