Hello,

I have bought Otari MX-5050 MKIII - 8 8 Track 1/2inch Tape. Unfortunately I do not have user's
manual for it. Would you know where I could get it online?
I would appreciate if you could tell me how to synchronize Otari with
my computer and other digital devices. Also I have no idea what
LOCATOR and OSC are for - do you know it?
Could you explain?

Thank you very much!

To sync your otari you will have to strip a timecode track (tipically track 8).
Feed that track in a device like Motu midi time piece for example, and toggle whatever settings are required in the sync preferences menu of your DAW and you will be able to slave your computer to the Otari transport.
I'have never used that Otari machine that you are mentioning but I assume that the locator button is related to the ability of the machine to memorize one or more locations to be recalled at the push of a button.

Ciao
