Displayed shortly after the power is turned on, this is the
main BR-1600CD screen. Among other important
information, the top screen presents the name of the
currently selected song, 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-1600CD completes the current process).
In Mastering mode only, the top screen changes to the screen
like that shown to the left.
Unless otherwise specified, all procedures described in this
manual will require you to return first of all to the top screen.
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-1600CD 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-1600CD.
If an explanation from this manual were to refer to "[F1]
(WRITE)", you would know that pressing [F1] would select
the "WRITE" function as displayed immediately above the
button.
When " " and/or " " is displayed on the left and right of
the screen, respectively, it will indicate that the BR-1600CD
could not fit all of the relevant content on-screen and that
some content is hidden in the direction of the arrow. The
PAGE SCROLL buttons [
display this hidden content. Press [
to the left, and press [ ] to scroll the screen to the right.
Although you can also scroll the screen by holding down
[ ] or [ ] from CURSOR, this can be done much quicker
using the PAGE SCROLL buttons.
