Yamaha Pro Audio website http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/ Yamaha Manual Library http://www.yamaha.co.jp/manual/english/ Remember to back up your data Storing produced data Produced data can be lost due to breakdown or mistaken operation. We recommend that you store all important data on your computer, CD-R/CD-RW discs, or other external storage medium. Responsibility for loss of data, etc. Yamaha will accept no responsibility for any damages (including consequential or incidental) incurred by the customer or any third party as a result of loss or impairment of the data stored on the hard disk or CD-R media, regardless of whether such loss could have been or actually was foreseen by Yamaha. Nor does Yamaha guarantee the media against any defect that may render it unusable. About the built-in CD-RW drive A built-in CD-RW drive is a device that lets you create or play audio CDs, backup and restore data from the internal hard disk, and read data from a CD-ROM. IMPORTANT Even if a CD-RW drive is operating normally, it may fail a read or write operation approximately once in five hundred times. Yamaha will take no responsibility for any damages, direct or consequential, that may result from the use of the above CD-RW drive. Handling 1 Never touch the objective lens. 2 Be careful that the objective lens does not become dusty or dirty. 3 If the objective lens becomes dusty, use a commercially available blower etc. to blow the dust off with clean air. 4 Since the inside of the drive contains powerful magnetic circuitry, do not allow any magnetic material to come near the drive. (In particular, any metallic fragments, screws, or pins that enter the drive mechanism will cause operation to fail.) Using the CD-RW drive To insert a disc into the CD-RW drive, press the eject switch. The disc tray will open. Place the disc on the tray, and gently push the disc tray in. NOTE The disc tray is ejected electrically. If the disc tray is not ejected when you press the eject switch, turn on the power of the AW1600 and press the eject switch once again. (Figure) Eject hole Eject switch Removing a CD in an emergency If you are unable to remove the disc by pressing the eject switch, insert a wire of less than 2 mm diameter (such as a straightened paper clip) into the eject hole, and push gently. However, pressing the eject switch will not eject the disc when the AW1600 is in the following states, so do not use this method in such cases. When the AW1600's power is "STANDBY" When the disc is being accessed (data is being read, written, or erased) While in CD PLAY mode CAUTION This removal method is for use in emergencies such as when you cannot remove the disc due to a malfunction of the disc tray or a power failure. Do not use this method unnecessarily, since doing so will damage the CD-RW drive. Connecting the AC adaptor When connecting the included AC adaptor (PA-300), you must first connect it to the DC IN jack of the AW1600, and then to the AC wall outlet. After connecting the AC adaptor to the AW1600, wrap the cable around the hook as shown in the diagram. This will prevent the cable from being accidentally pulled out, causing the AW1600 to unexpectedly lose power. Turning the power on/off You must use the following procedure to switch the power of the AW1600 between ON and STANDBY. If you fail to follow this procedure, the internal hard disk or your external monitor system may be damaged. Turning the power on In a system that includes the AW1600, turn the power of each device on in the following order. 1 External devices such as audio sources and effect processors connected to the input/output jacks of the AW1600 2 The AW1600 itself 3 The monitor system connected to the AW1600's output jacks CAUTION Before you turn on the power, make sure that the AC adaptor is firmly connected to the AW1600 and to the AC outlet. If the power is disconnected while the AW1600 is being used, the AW1600 itself or the hard disk may be damaged. When you turn on the power of the AW1600, an opening screen will appear, and then the following screen will appear. Turning the power off (shut down) In a system that includes the AW1600, turn the power of each device off in the following order. 1 The monitor system connected to the AW1600's output jacks 2 The AW1600 itself 3 External devices such as audio sources and effect processors connected to the input/output jacks of the AW1600 When turning off the power of the AW1600, you must perform the following "shut-down" procedure. 1 In the Work Navigate section located in the upper left of the top panel, press the [SONG] key several times to access the following SHUTDOWN page. 2 Press the [ENTER] key located in the middle right of the top panel. A popup window will ask you whether you want to save the current song. 3 Using the CURSOR [Up]/[Down] keys located in the upper right of the top panel, move the cursor (the blinking area in the screen) to the YES button if you want to save the current song, or to the NO button if you do not want to save it. Then press the [ENTER] key. 4 When the "Now safe to turn off..." message appears, turn off the [POWER] switch located on the rear panel. IMPORTANT If you turn off the power of the AW1600 without performing the above shutdown procedure, not only will any unsaved changes be lost, but you also risk damaging the data on the hard disk, and damaging or drastically shortening the lifespan of the hard disk itself and the internal CD-RW drive. Please use caution. CAUTION A small amount of electrical current is flowing even when the power is in STANDBY mode. If you will not be using the AW1600 for an extended period of time, be sure to disconnect the AC adaptor from your AC outlet. This is the end of the file.
