The following steps will guide you through setting up and recording an external stereo instrument, audio device or effect.
- Lower the MASTER fader.
- Connect headphones to the headphone jack or speakers to the LINE OUT jacks on the back panel.
- Connect the left and right outputs of your instrument into the red and white LINE IN RCA jacks on the back panel of the BR-900CD.
NOTE: This may require adapter cables (e.g. 1/4" to RCA if the outputs of your device are 1/4" or XLR to RCA if the outputs of your device are XLR). - Press INPUT SELECT button for L-LINE-R so the button illuminates red.
- Turn up the volume of your external instrument to a desired volume level and then begin playing the instrument.
- On the BR-900CD, adjust turn the SENS knob for L-LINE-R to the 12 o'clock position (straight up).
- While playing the external device or instrument, adjust the INPUT LEVEL knob so that the IN meter on the LCD is showing levels close to -6db.
Note: If you're not able to achieve good volume levels above the IN meter, raise the volume of the external device and/or raise the volume of the BR-900CD's SENS knob for L-LINE-R. - Slowly raise the MASTER fader.
Note: If speakers are connected, be sure that their power is on and that their volume is turned up. - Press one of the track REC buttons to select the track on which recording will occur. Be sure that the selected button is blinking--regardless of the color. When recording to tracks 1 through 6, two tracks will be recorded (since we're recording in stereo).
- Press REC and then press PLAY. Recording will begin.
- Begin playing the external stereo instrument or device.
- Press STOP on the BR-900CD to end recording.
