Basic Operation
Turning off the BR-1200CD
1 If an amplifier or any other similar device is
connected to the BR-1200CD’s output, this
should be turned off first of all.
2 Press the BR-1200CD’s POWER switch.
The pressed button pops out.
The message “Shutdown OK?” will appear.
fig.07-04ad
• When the currently selected song has been recorded
or edited, the message “Save Current?” appears; press
[ENTER/YES].
The message “Storing Current...” will appear and
saving of the currently selected song will begin. When
saving has been completed, the message “Now
shutdown... Keep power ON!” is displayed, and the
BR-1200CD will automatically turn off a few moments
later.
If you do not want to save your song at this time,
press [EXIT/NO]. The BR-1200CD will turn off
without the song being saved. In such a case,
however, all audio that was recorded and data that
was edited since you last saved the song will be lost;
accordingly, be careful not to press [EXIT/NO] by
mistake.
• Song Protect is activated for the demo songs already
included in the BR-1200CD at the time of purchase,
and for this reason, the power will turn off without
the message “Save Current?” being displayed.
(IMPORTANT) Precautions when turning off the BR-1200CD
• Always use the POWER switch to turn off the BR-1200CD’s power. Recorded audio data, mixer settings, etc. are not
stored as the corresponding operations are completed; rather, they are stored when the song is saved or when the
power is turned off automatically. Therefore, when the BR-1200CD is turned off by pulling out the AC adaptor’s plug
or by any other method not involving the POWER switch, all recorded audio data, mixer settings, and the like will be
lost. This practice can also lead to song data being lost or to the hard disk being permanently damaged, and it should
be avoided.
• Before removing the AC adaptor from the power outlet, be sure to confirm that the BR-1200CD has turned off fully
(i.e., the display is not lit). The AC adaptor should not be disconnected while data is being saved as this will result in
the loss of recorded audio data and other song contents (i.e., mixer settings, effect patch data, etc.).
• Do not move the BR-1200CD or subject it to shock or vibration before the screen backlighting turns off. If the
backlighting is still on, it means that the hard disk motor has not stopped spinning. It is in this state that the hard
disk’s interior is unstable and the hard disk is most susceptible to damage.
What is meant by saving songs?
In the BR-1200CD, recorded or edited audio data is only temporarily stored on the hard disk until the song that
contains it is saved. For this reason, if the power is turned off before the song has been saved, all of your recorded and
edited data will be lost. The Save function prevents this from occurring by storing the recorded and edited data on the
BR-1200CD’s hard disk.
Note that songs can be saved at any time, not only when the power is being turned off. For more detailed information,
refer to “Saving your song (Song Save)” (p. 70).
