Troubleshooting
Appendices
Cannot record
❍ Does the hard disk have insufficient remaining
capacity?
❍ Has the recording mode (INPUT, BOUNCE,
MASTERING) been selected correctly?
❍ Has the Scrub Playback function been turned on?
Digital input cannot be received from an
external device, or digital recording on
an external device is not possible
❍ Does the sampling rate of the BR-1600CD match that
of the digital audio device?
Set the digital audio device to a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz.
❍ Does the digital signal format match?
Your digital audio device may use a non-standard digital
signal format. Connect the BR-1600CD to a digital audio
device that supports CP-1201 or S/P DIF.
❍ In cases where digital input cannot be received:
Is Digital In Assign (p. 261) set to "OFF"?
The recorded sound contains noise or
distortion
❍ Is the input sensitivity set appropriately?
If the input sensitivity is too high, the recorded sound
will be distorted. If it is too low, the input sound will be
buried in noise. Adjust the SENS knob so that the level
meter moves as much as possible without causing the
PEAK indicator to light.
❍ Are the effect settings appropriate?
Using overdrive, distortion, or compression with the
insert effects may increase noise and distortion.
❍ Are the equalizer settings appropriate?
Some equalizer settings can cause the sound to distort
even though the PEAK indicator does not light. Readjust
the equalizer.
❍ Are the track output levels appropriate?
If you hear noise or distortion after bouncing tracks, the
output level of the tracks was too high.
❍ Is a mic with high output impedance connected
directly to the BR-1600CD?
The BR-1600CD is designed with a wide margin of
headroom. Also, since the MIC 1 and MIC 2 jacks are low
impedance inputs, the recording level may be too low,
depending on the response of some mics. In such cases,
connect the mic via a mic preamp to the BR-1600CD, so
that they can be boosted to line level before recording.
Problems with the hard disk
Hard disk data was damaged
If hard disk data has been damaged, the following causes are
possible. Please initialize the hard disk (using physical
formatting) once again. (p. 270)
❍ Was the power turned off while the disk drive was
operating?
❍ Was a strong physical shock applied to the disk
drive?
Little available space remaining on the
hard disk
❍ Do you have numerous recorded songs and/or loop
phrases stored on the hard disk?
❍ Is [SIMUL], [STEREO TRACKS] or [MULTI-TRACK]
selected for the INPUT SELECT, or are stereo tracks
selected for the recording tracks?
Recording with stereo tracks halves the remaining
recording time, and this is indicated in the display.
If [MULTI-TRACK] is selected and recording is carried
out on all 8 tracks, only 1/8th of the original recording
time will be available.
❍ Was the drive partitioned into multiple drives
(partitions) when it was initialized?
Problems with the CD-R/RW drive
Cannot remove the CD-R/RW disc
❍ Is the power turned on?
The CD-R/RW disc cannot be removed unless the power
is turned on.
❍ CIs a screen for reading from, or writing to CD-R/RW
discs showing in the display?
It is not possible to eject the disc when you’re in a screen
for reading/writing CD-R/RW discs. Press [EXIT] a
number of times to return to the top screen, then press
the EJECT button again.
Cannot read from/write to CD-R/RW
discs
❍ Is the BR-1600CD in a level position?
❍ Was a strong physical shock applied to the CD-R/RW
drive?
❍ Is the disc correctly placed in the CD-R/RW drive?
❍ Are you using the right type of CD-R/RW disc?
