Synchronizing with MIDI Devices
Synchronizing Playback with
a MIDI Sequencer
The BR-900CD can operate in synchronization with a MIDI
sequencer.
When synchronizing with a MIDI sequencer, it is possible to
synchronize the MIDI sequencer using the BR-900CD (i.e.,
with the BR-900CD as the master), but it is not possible to
synchronize the BR-900CD with the MIDI sequencer (i.e.,
with the BR-900CD as the slave).
* For details on operation of your MIDI sequencer, refer to the
operating manual for your device. For information regarding
MMC, see p. 160.
