NORMAL mode, the display will read 00:00:00 (minutes:seconds:
frames) and the frames will default to 30 frames per second. If in
SMPTE mode, the display will read 00:00:00:00 (hours:minutes:
seconds:frames); if in BARS mode, the display will read 01–01/00

the desired location. All fields are editable, with the exception of

advance to the next field until the last digit of the frames field. You
can also use the Cursor button to position the cursor beneath the pair
of digits you wish to edit, and use the UP/DOWN buttons, the
Numeric Keypad or the COPY TAPE LOCATION button to change the
number.

displayed location address. This location is not stored.
4.1G Footswitch Controlled Autolocation
The BRC’s rear panel Locate/Play footswitch jack can be used with
any momentary, single-pole/single-throw footswitch. During the
power-up procedure, the BRC checks the footswitch to determine
whether it is a normally open or normally closed type, and calibrates
itself accordingly. If you use a footswitch and its operation seems
“reversed,” make sure it is firmly plugged into the jack, then turn the
BRC off, wait a few seconds, and turn it on again. It will recalibrate
itself to work with the footswitch.
The Locate/Play footswitch has three functions:
• If the transport is currently stopped, pressing the Locate/Play
footswitch is the equivalent to pressing the PLAY button.
• If the transport is currently playing or recording, pressing the
Locate/Play footswitch causes the transport to locate to the last
selected locate point (the locate point is selected by pressing the
LOCATE button; see section 4.1E), and then either Stop or Play,
