been set to SLAVE? Does the DEVICE NO. match?
■ Can’t use the preset remote settings
• Depending on the sequencer that you want to control, you

refer to page 209.
• Select the connector and port to be used (MIDI connector,
USB connector port 1/2) in the UTILITY screen MIDI 1
page.
■ Can’t save a file
• Is there sufficient space on the internal hard disk to create
a new song?
• Did you perform the correct shut-down procedure when
you last turned off the power?
→ Disconnecting the power without performing the shutdown
operation will shorten the lifespan of the hard disk and CD-
RW drive, may damage the hard disk and CD-RW drive and
disc, and may result in loss of data.

shock?
■ AW2816 backup files cannot be saved
• Songs with a large data size cannot be saved. Try execut-
ing the Optimize function from the SONG screen LIST

track or other data, that sound file will remain on the disk.
Execute the Optimize command in the SONG screen LIST
page.
■ Can’t create an audio CD
• Is CD-R/RW media inserted?
• The inserted CD-R may have already been finalized.
• Is a signal recorded on the stereo track?

• Have you saved a song after the stereo track has been
recorded?
■ An audio CD you created does not play back
on a conventional player
• An audio CD you created you not play back on a conven-
tional player unless the disc has been finalized.
■ Audio recorded on CD-RW media does not
play back on some players
• In order for audio data recorded on CD-RW media to be
played back, the player must support CD-RW. Contact the
manufacturer of the player regarding CD-RW support.
■ The sound skips while playing an audio CD
that you created
• Depending on the CD-R media you use, there may be dif-
ferences in the quality of the completed CD.
■ The computer doesn’t recognize the
AW1600 hard disk
• Is the USB cable properly connected?
• Is your computer running the appropriate operating sys-
tem?
→ Windows XP Professional/Home Edition SP1 or higher, or
Mac OS X 10.3 or higher. Operation is not guaranteed with
other operating systems.
• Is the USB storage mode turned ON?
■ Can’t find WAV files copied from the com-
puter to the Transport folder
• Have you copied WAV files with a different bit depth from
the song? Have you copied WAV files with sampling fre-
quency other than 44.1 kHz?
■ Can’t find WAV files copied from the com-
puter to the Audio folder
• Did you change the bit depth of the WAV file when editing
it with waveform editing software?

32-bit WAV file format.
• Have you changed the file name?

via the “Safely Remove Hardware” icon.
■ Can’t hear any pitch change?
• Make sure that RATE is NOT set to “000.”
• Make sure that BYPASS is off.
■ The voice is not recognized
• When the voice is high, set TYPE to FEMALE; when it is
low, set TYPE to MALE.
■ Pitch correction doesn’t sound right
• In some cases, pitch correction may sound unnatural —
especially for parts sung with vibrato. To make the pitch-
corrected vocal sound more natural and subtle, set
DETECT to a relatively short value and set RATE to a rel-
atively slow value.
