HEAD	This read-only register shows the start time of the first edit on the currently loaded
(SHIFT+8)	tracks. Tracks selected while in the EDIT track select mode govern the operation of
	this function. If no tracks are selected in the EDIT track select mode, the MMR
	will scan across all loaded tracks to find the first edit location. To select a single
	track or a group of tracks for location of the first edit point location, press only the
	desired track SEL keys while in the EDIT track select mode, then select SHIFT +
	8. The location of the first edit point on the selected tracks will be shown.
NEXT EDIT	This register shows the location of the first splice point (or start of sound event)
(SHIFT+9)	located just after the current location. Each time NEXT EDIT is selected the
	register value moves “forward” one event in the edit list, always coming to rest at
	the next splice point or start of event. Pressing SHIFT+NEXT EDIT not only finds
	and displays this point, but also performs an automatic locate function, moving the
	transport to that point. RCL+SHIFT+NEXT EDIT simply finds and displays the
	next edit time code in the hold register (also see the Recall key).
CLR	This key performs both a clear and a cancel function, operating in almost all modes
	and situations. CLR has no shifted function.
	In the Setup and Verify states, the CLR key takes on its alternate function,
	“cancel.” In Setup, pressing CLR generally returns a changed value back to the
	previously stored value, or exits altogether. It is also used to re-enter a password, to
	cancel a password entry, and as an alternative method of providing a “no” response
	to an operator query. In the Error state, pressing CLR will clear the error message
	and return the MMR-8 to the previous operating state. During track slip or register
	trim, pressing the key returns the registers to their previous values (before the slip
	or trim operation changed them). During time code entry in the Normal state, CLR
	returns the entry register time code to a zero value. For most other operations, CLR
	will return the MMR-8 to the Normal state.
CAPT	The capture key places the time code value from the top line of the display into the
	entry register in the bottom line of the display. After capturing the time code value
	the CAPT LED will flash until a target register key is pressed to place the captured
	time code value into that register. Note that pressing CAPT automatically readies
	the system to store the value into the target register, as if the STO key had already
	been pressed. This action can be done at any time during normal operation of the
	MMR-8 (including play and record). To complete the capture operation, either
	press a target register key or press CLR to cancel.
SHIFT + CAPT	This register holds the Time code location that is set to be equal to 0 feet and
(TIME)	frames. This is used in film post production work to set a “local 0” for interlocking
	film to a time code source. To set the offset between the time code display and the
	feet and frames display, use the keypad to enter the time code that will be
	equivalent to 0 feet and frames into the entry register. Next, press LOC to locate
	the MMR transport to that time and press CLR to clear the entry register. Finally,
	press STO + SHIFT + CAPT to enter the number listed in the top of the display
	into the TIME register. There will now be an offset between the time code display
	and the feet and frames display when toggling between these two display styles. To
	clear the time register, locate to 00:00:00:00 and store that to the Time register.
