Scrub function
When editing a sound, some times you need to know exactly
where the sound starts, or exactly where the recording with
an auto punch in starts.
To enable you to find these points accurately, the BR-900CD
is equipped with the Scrub function.
When you use the Scrub function during playback (called
“scrubbing”), the portion from your before or after the
current location (approximately 45 msec) is played back and
repeated.
Preview function
With the Preview function, you can playback the one-second
portion of the song before or after your current position.
By using this together with the Scrub function, at the same
time slowly moving your current position in the song, it
becomes easy to find the exact transition point from one
phrase to the next.

Scrubbing to Find the Music
Starting/Ending Point
1. Hold down [STOP] and press [PLAY].
The [PLAY] indicator begins flashing and scrubbing
starts.
At this time, the Track 1–7/8 level meters are displayed.
The “ ” (SCRUB TO) and “ ” (SCRUB FROM)
displayed at the TEMPO position in the screen are the
scrub points with respect to the current position.
When the cursor is set under the scrub point, it is
possible to change scrub point by TIME/VALUE dial.

To mute the sound of a particular track, hold down
[DELETE/MUTE] and press the relevant REC TRACK
button so it starts blinking.
2. Slowly turn the TIME/VALUE dial to move the current
position and search for the starting point of the phrase
(e.g., where sound is first emitted).
3. After you find the exact point where the music starts,
press [STOP] to stop scrubbing.
You can now press [LOCATOR] to register a locator point so
that you can find the point easily later.
