Troubleshooting ■ Can't receive MMC messages • Is the MIDI cable connected to the MIDI IN connector? • In the UTILITY screen MIDI 2 page, has MMC MODE 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 may need to make settings on the sequencer. For details, 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. Song operations ■ 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 CDRW drive, may damage the hard disk and CD-RW drive and disc, and may result in loss of data. • Is the internal hard disk be subjected to strong physical 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 page. ■ Song file size is unnaturally large • Even after you use recorder editing operations to erase a track or other data, that sound file will remain on the disk. Execute the Optimize command in the SONG screen LIST page. CD operations ■ 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? • The stereo track must be at least four seconds long. • 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 conventional 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 differences in the quality of the completed CD. WAV File Transfer To and From a Computer ■ The computer doesn't recognize the AW1600 hard disk • Is the USB cable properly connected? • Is your computer running the appropriate operating system? → 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 computer to the Transport folder • Have you copied WAV files with a different bit depth from the song? Have you copied WAV files with sampling frequency other than 44.1 kHz? ■ Can't find WAV files copied from the computer to the Audio folder • Did you change the bit depth of the WAV file when editing it with waveform editing software? → For 24-bit songs audio data is saved in the Audio folder in 32-bit WAV file format. • Have you changed the file name? • Did you copy the file(s) to a different folder? ■ Can't copy files from the computer • Files larger than 4 GB cannot be copied. ■ An error message appears when disconnecting the AW1600 from a Windows computer • Before turning the USB storage mode OFF, remove the device via the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the taskbar. • Close all AW1600 windows before removing the device via the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon. Pitch Fix operations ■ 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 pitchcorrected vocal sound more natural and subtle, set DETECT to a relatively short value and set RATE to a relatively slow value. Appendix AW1600 Owner's Manual 205
