Bad cable OR Adapter plugs or cable setup contains builtin attenuator (resistance). Bad tape. Tape heads dirty. Noise reduction turned on. Adjust levels for best results. 0dB is a good starting point for most tape recorders, however, some experimentation may be necessary. Check cables (plugs should be mono 1/8" mini plug). Avoid adapter plugs and make sure that cable is nonattenuating. Try new tape. Tape should be normally biased. Clean tape heads. Turn off all tape noise reduction. Won't reload MIDI sys ex data dump from external disk drive or computer. Disk drive's buffer memory is too small to hold the entire contents of the SR-16. Disk drive or computer did not correctly store original information. Reduce the amount of memory in the SR-16 by erasing unneeded parts. Check operational procedures for storage and retrieval in the storage unit's manual. The SR-16 is designed to send and receive generic, unchannelized, one way (no handshake) sys ex data. SR-16 won't receive one Song or Pattern. This usually happens when trying to receive one Song or Pattern into a low numbered memory location when the SR-16 is very full. This is due to the internal storage format of the SR-16. Retrieve Pattern or Song into a higher numbered Pattern or Song memory location. Or, reduce the amount of memory used by the SR-16 by erasing unneeded Patterns. Printed in USA A058
