Syncing ADATS, BRC and 8 trk 1/2 inch

[promodevil]

I recently added a TEAC 80-8 to my setup. I want to sync it to the computer (Korg1212) and the BRC (w/3 adats). I thought all I had to do was run a line from the smpte sync 1/4 inch plug in back of the BRC to the input of track 8 on the TEAC to create a sync tone. Then do the reverse to lock it. Obviously I am missing something. Can anyone help? (I know it's retro to go backwards to analog but it sounds sooooooo good ;-)) Specifics would be VERY helpful... Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response. At least I know I hooked things up properly. Now I am at first base. Let me ask a few more minor questions. Should/will the BRC control ALL transport functions on the 80-8 providing the hook up is made correctly? Or do I still have to control the
80-8's functions at the machine itself? Do I simply back the BRC up behind the "zero" mark, hit play and then hit record on the 80-8 (I assume that the timesync on the 80-8 would start when the tape hits signal on the playback) and then I can record in sync anywhere after the zero mark in the future? Sorry to ask so many questions but "syncing connections" are really not my forte. Thanks for the help so far.

PS: The BRC is not in external sync mode and the smpte output is set at +4 not -10 db (my entire adat system runs at +4 via elco so I thought that would be appropriate)
