Common operations and display items
Top screen
foggy-01d
Displayed shortly after the power is turned on, this is the
main BR-1200CD screen. Among other important
information, the top screen presents the current position
within the song, the level meters, and remaining recording
time on the hard disk.
Regardless of the screen that you are currently in, you will
always be able to return to this screen by pressing [EXIT/
NO] several times (although you may sometimes have to
wait until the BR-1200CD completes the current process).
Unless otherwise specified, all procedures described in this
manual will require you to return first of all to the top screen.
In Mastering mode (p. 146) only, the top screen changes to
the screen like that shown to the left.
Current position
fig.06-02d
The current position within the song is indicated in terms of
time at the top right of the display. In addition, this position
is also indicated in terms of bars and beats to the left of this
time value.
The displayed time is based on MIDI Time Code (MTC), and
as such, it is presented in terms of hours, minutes, seconds,
frames, and sub-frames. Note that different devices use
different MTC specifications.
If you want to synchronize the BR-1200CD with another
MIDI device using MTC, you will first of all need to set both
to the same MTC specification. At the time of purchase, the
number of frames per second will initially be set to 30 (non-
drop) on the BR-1200CD (p. 247).
FUNCTION buttons ([F1] through [F3])
fig.06-04
[F1] through [F3] are called the FUNCTION buttons.
At the bottom of the display, you will find the names of the
functions that are assigned within the current screen to each
of these buttons.
If an explanation from this manual were to refer to “[F1]
(EDIT)”, you would know that pressing [F1] would select the
“EDIT” function as displayed immediately above the button.
