Appendix Troubleshooting If the AW16G does not operate as you expect, or if you suspect a problem, please refer to the following points and take the appropriate action. ■ Power does not turn on • Is the AC adaptor connected to an AC outlet of the correct voltage? • Is the POWER switch turned ON? • If the power still does not turn on, please contact your Yamaha dealer. ■ LCD display is dim or dark • Use the contrast knob located at the lower right of the screen to adjust the contrast. ■ Can't use the [DATA/JOG] dial to control on-screen parameters • The [JOG ON] key may be on. • Some parameters cannot be operated in certain states, such as while the recorder is running. No sound ■ No sound, or sound is too faint • Are speakers or headphones connected correctly? • Is your amp and other external devices turned on? • Does the stereo output channel meter move? • Is the stereo output channel fader raised? Is it turned on? • The EQ gain may be set to an extremely low value. • The dynamics processor may be set to an extreme threshold or ratio. • If you are connecting an electric guitar, is it con- nected to the Hi-Z jack? • Is the attenuator of the EQ screen or VIEW screen raised? * Check the level (meter movement) in the METER page of the VIEW screen. * If you press the [SEL] key in the MONITOR screen INIT page, that channel will be initialized to default values that allow sound to be output. * If DIGITAL IN is set to other than DISABLE in the UTILITY screen D.IN HDD page, and no signal is being input to the DIGITAL INPUT jack, a message of "WRONG WORD CLOCK" will appear, and sound will not be output. ■ Input sound is not output • Is the signal from the external device being input? • The connection cable from the external device may be broken. • Is the [GAIN] control set to an appropriate level? • Is the input channel fader raised? Is it turned on? • The input channel may have been set to DIGITAL IN. • When recording, is the recording-destination track fader (which adjusts the monitor level) raised? * If you are recording, the sound of that input channel will not be heard during playback. ■ Recorded sound is not output • Has audio data been recorded on the recorder? • Is the virtual track set to the track that was recorded? • A recorded region shorter than 10 msec will not be played back. • Tracks 1-16 will not play back if the AW16G is in Stereo Track, Sound Clip, or Audio CD playback mode. ■ Can't play back the STEREO track • Is the stereo track turned on in the MONITOR screen ST.TRACK page? ■ Metronome cannot be heard • The metronome sound is normally sent only to the MONITOR OUT and headphones. • The metronome will not sound while the recorder is stopped. • In Sound Clip mode, the metronome will sound only during recording. Can't record, something is wrong with the recorded sound ■ Can't record • Is there sufficient free space on the internal hard disk? * You can check the remaining recordable time by setting the counter display to REMAIN in the SONG screen SETUP page. • The song may be protected. • The stereo track may be in playback mode. • Is the input signal routed appropriately to the recorder? • Check the recording-source and recording-destina- tion in the QUICK NAVIGATE page RECORD screen? • DIGITAL REC may have been turned OFF in the UTILITY screen PREFER page. • Please read and understand the copyright warning (→ p. 5) before using digital input signals. ■ Can't record on the STEREO track • It is not possible to record on the STEREO track while recording on other tracks. ■ Noise is present in the recorded signal • The oscillator may be functioning. • Does the word clock setting match for the AW16G and the external device(s)? • Go to the QUICK NAVIGATE screen RECORD page and check the recording-source and recording-destination. 194
