Before you use the CD-R/RW drive, it is important that you first of all read “Before Using CD-R/RW Discs” (p. 6).

1.Disc tray

Place the CD-R/RW discs on this tray.

2.Access indicator

This indicator will light up whenever data is being read from or written to a CD-R/RW disc.

3.EJECT button

Press this button to eject a CD-R/RW disc from the drive unit. Note that it will only be possible to eject the CD-R/RW disc while the BR-900CD is powered up.

If excessive force is used to extract a disc, you risk causing damage to the drive.

4.Emergency eject hole

This hole is used when the disc tray must be opened in an emergency.

It must not, therefore, be used on a regular basis and should be treated as a last resort only when the disc cannot be ejected in any other way (p. 7).

Displays the menu screen, parameter setting screen, or other information, depending on the type of settings being made. If the screen is difficult to view, see “Adjusting the Display Contrast” (p. 186).

4.FRAME

Displays the frame number of the current position of the song.

At the factory settings, one second is set to 30 frames (non- drop). This is one type of a specification known as MTC (MIDI Time Code), and when you use the BR-900CD to play in synchronization with another MIDI device, you will need to set both devices to the same MTC type.

“Synchronizing Playback with a MIDI Sequencer” (p. 158)

5.REC MODE

The recording mode is indicated here.

1.MEAS (MEASURE)

Displays the current position within the song. Indicated from left to right are the measure, beat, and clock.

2.TEMPO

The Rhythm tempo is indicated here.

3.TIME

Displays the time of the current position of the song (hours- minutes-seconds).

6.Level Meter

During play mode, the volume levels of instruments being input, and volume levels of each track are displayed.

The levels displayed are the levels after the adjustments are made with the INPUT LEVEL knob and TRACK fader (i.e., post fader). You can select the level meter to display each type of level being set.
