Before Using USB (Overview)
The BR-1600CD is equipped with a USB connector, which
allows you to connect the BR-1600CD directly to a computer,
making it easy to back up your important song data and
exchange files between the BR-1600CD and the computer.
USB, short for “Universal Serial Bus,” is a type of interface
for connecting computers with a variety of peripheral
devices.
Using USB allows you to connect different peripherals using
a single USB cable, and also provides rapid data
transmission.
What’s more, you can connect and disconnect peripherals
with the power on, and the computer can automatically
recognize when devices are connected (you may need to
make settings when connecting certain devices).
Important
■
When you connect the BR-1600CD to your PC using a
USB cable, all folders and files on the BR-1600CD’s hard
disk will be displayed on the PC monitor, and you will
be able to freely modify, delete, or add to these files via
USB. In addition, you will be able to initialize the BR-
1600CD’s hard disk remotely using the PC.
Note, however, that if files and folders are modified,
deleted, or added using the PC, or if the hard disk is
initialized, the BR-1600CD may no longer be able to
function properly, and important data could be lost.
It is crucial, therefore, that no operations other than
those described below be carried out using USB.
Furthermore, BOSS/Roland will accept no responsibility
for the incorrect operation of the BR-1600CD or for the
loss of data resulting from the failure to observe this
precaution.
■
Do not perform the following actions when switching to
USB mode or transmitting data. These operations may
result in your computer not responding to the data.
Data on memory cards may also be corrupted.
Do not:
• Disconnect the USB cable
• Put the computer in suspended (standby) mode or
hibernation, restart, or quit
• Turn off the BR-1600CD’s power
Operations that can be
performed via USB
On the BR-1600CD, USB is used for the following tasks:
●
Backing up the BR-1600CD’s data
●
Reading backup data back into the BR-1600CD from the
PC (Recover)
●
Saving BR-1600CD track data in WAV/AIFF format
(WAV/AIFF Export)
●
Loading WAV/AIFF files in BR-1600CD tracks (WAV/
AIFF Import)
Realtime audio signals and MIDI messages cannot be
handled via the BR-1600CD’s USB connector.
Compatible OS
Windows:
Windows Me/2000/XP
Macintosh:
Mac OS 9.1.x/9.2.x
Mac OS X
Driver:
The BR-1600CD uses a standard DRIVER that is found on

Precautions when using Windows XP or Windows 2000
If using Windows XP/2000, log on to Windows as one of
the following users:
• Administrator or other user with the privileges of the
Administrators group
• A user whose account type is Computer Administrator
Note that you will not be able to properly quit the USB
connection if the user name is not one of those described
above.
For more details, consult the system administrator for
the computer you are using.
