Troubleshooting

If the BR-1600CD does not function as you expect, please check
the following points before assuming that a malfunction has
occurred. If this does not resolve the problem, contact a nearby
Roland service center or your dealer.

Problems with the sound

No sound

Is the power of the BR-1600CD and of the connected
equipment turned on?

Is the optical cable connected correctly?

Are any audio cables broken?

Has the volume of the connected amp or mixer been
lowered?

Has the master fader or headphone volume of the
BR-1600CD been lowered?

Was the heel end of the expression pedal all the way
down?

Are you attempting to play back a short phrase of
less than 0.5 seconds? (Phrases of 0.5 seconds or
less cannot be played.)

Has the Mastering Tool Kit Auto Fade In/Out function
been set to ON while the BR-1600CD is being used in
Mastering mode?

When the Auto Fade In/Out function is set to ON,
sounds may not be played, depending on the location of
the playback.

Has the “Metronome” system parameter been set
correctly?

If “METRONOME ONLY” has been set, no audio other
than the metronome will be heard.

The volume level of the instrument
connected to INPUT/MIC or GUITAR
BASS jack is too low.

Could you be using a connection cable that contains
a resistor?

Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.

A specific track cannot be heard

Has the track volume been lowered?

In some cases the actual volume level may not match the
position of the fader, for example when the scene has
been switched. If so, move the fader up and down so that
the volume level will match the fader position.

Has the track been muted? (The REC TRACK
indicator will be blinking in green.)

Is the V-Track setting for a different V-Track?

Has the track type been set correctly?

Is the BR-1600CD in Mastering mode?

In Mastering mode, sounds are output only from Tracks
9/10.

The input cannot be heard

Has the sound source been correctly connected to
either an input jack or connector?

If a connection is made to both the 1/4” phone mono
jack and the XLR connector, priority will be given to the
1/4” phone mono jack.

The INPUT 1/MIC 1 jack (or XLR connector) and the
GUITAR/BASS jack share the same internal circuitry,
and when a connection has been made to both of these
input jacks, the GUITAR/BASS jack will be selected
automatically.

Did you adjust the SENS knob?

Has INPUT SELECT been muted? (The INPUT
SELECT indicator will be dark.)

Has the INPUT LEVEL knob been set to “MIN”?

If [F3] (MANUAL) was selected on the Level
Calibration screen (“Manually adjusting the input
volume balance” (p. 259)), were the input levels set
correctly?

Check whether the input level has been set to 0 or
whether the corresponding track has been set to
“MUTED.”

If you are using a condenser microphone, is
phantom power turned on?

Is the BR-1600CD in Mastering mode?

Input-source sounds are not output in Mastering mode.
Use with the BR-1600CD switched to Input mode.

Was the heel end of the expression pedal all the way
down?

Can’t use the expression pedal to
control an effect

Is the minimum volume set to “0” or to an
appropriate value? (p. 84)

Is the effect (Foot Volume, Pitch Shifter, Wah, Vibtaro)
that you wish to control from the expression pedal
turned on?

The expression pedal can control all of the above effects
simultaneously.

Is the type (P.Shift Type, Wah Type) of the effect you
wish to control set to “PEDAL” ?
