Troubleshooting
If you have any problems during operation of the R16, check the following points first.
Problems during playback • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
No sound, or sound is very weak.
• Check the connections to your monitoring system
and the volume settings of the system.
• Make sure that status keys in the mixer section are
lit green (except the [MASTER] status key) and
that faders are raised. If a key is not green, press it
repeatedly until it lights green.
• Make sure that the [MASTER] status key is not lit and
that the [MASTER] fader is raised.
Moving the fader does not affect the volume.
• On channels for which stereo link is turned on,
the fader of the even-numbered channel will have
no effect. Either turn stereo link off (→P.20), or
use the fader of the odd-numbered channel in
the pair.
No sound from input signal, or sound is very weak.
• Make sure that the [GAIN] control for the
respective input is increased.
• Check that the status light is green (playback
enabled) and that the fader of the track is raised.
An operation does not work and the message “Stop
Recorder” is shown on the display.
• Some operations are not possible while the
recorder is operating. Press the [STOP] key
to stop the recorder and then conduct the
operation.
Problems during recording • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Cannot record on a track.
• Make sure that you have selected and enabled a
recordable track.
• Check whether you have run out of free space on
the SD card (→P.70).
• Recording is not possible if the project is
protected. Either set “PROTECT” to “OFF”
(→P.54), or use a different project.
The recorded sound is distorted.
• Make sure that the [GAIN] (input sensitivity) and
recording level are not set too high.
• Lower the fader so that the 0 (dB) indicator of the
level meter does not light.
• If the EQ gain of the track mixer is set extremely
high, the sound may be audibly distorted even if
the fader is lowered. Set the EQ gain to a lower
value.
• When an insert effect is applied to an input,
check whether the effect output level (patch
level) setting is appropriate.
Problems with effects • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Insert effect cannot be inserted.
• When using the 8x COMP EQ algorithm, the
selection of insert points is limited (→P.49).
Insert effect does not work.
• Check that the “INSERT EFFECT” icon is shown
on the display. If it is not shown, press the [INSERT
EFFECT] key and then press [ENTER] to enable
it.
• Make sure that the insert effect is inserted in the
desired location (→P.49).
Send/return effect does not work.
• Check that the “CHORUS/DELAY” icon is shown
on the display. If it is not shown, press the SEND
RETURN EFFECT key and then press [ENTER] to
enable it.
• Make sure that the send level for the track is
raised (→P.37, 48).
Other problems • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Cannot save a project.
• The project cannot be saved if the project is
protected. Set “PROTECT” to “OFF” (→P.56).

memory available on the card has been used.
Delete unneeded projects to free up memory.
An error message is shown when attempting to
execute a command.
