Making the most of hard disk

capacity (Song Optimize)

When you overwrite or erase audio data by overdubbing,
punch in/out recording, or track editing, this audio data will
not actually be deleted from the BR-1600CD’s hard disk. In
certain cases, the amount of hard disk space used to store this
unneeded audio data may become quite large, and you will
not be able to record as much new audio data as you would
expect.

Use the Song Optimize function to increase the amount of
free space on your hard disk by permanently erasing this
type of unneeded data.

• In certain cases, a relatively long period of time will

be required for song optimization to be completed;
however, this is normal and does not indicate a
malfunction. Please do not turn off the BR-1600CD
during the song optimization process. The amount
of time required will depend on the amount of data
contained in the song and the degree to which
editing has been carried out.

• If the BR-1600CD is turned off forcibly during the

song optimization process by, for example, pulling
out the AC adaptor’s plug, there is a possibility that
the audio data contained in all songs—not just the
song being optimized—will be irreparably
damaged.

• Song optimization also clears the song’s edit history,

and for this reason, you will not be able to use the
Undo function for any edits carried out before this
process. It is also important to note that if you use
Undo after saving a song that has just been
optimized, all audio data will be deleted.
