Troubleshooting
❍
Are you using a CD-R disc that has already been
written to, or a CD-RW disc that may be too old?
❍
Is the CD-R/RW drive being “force ejected?”
Pressing a straightened paper clip or similar object into
the “emergency eject hole” in the CD-R/RW drive’s
front side forces ejection of the CD-R/RW disc.
However, the CD-R/RW drive may not operate correctly
after this is done. Should this be the case, turn off the
power, then turn it back on again.
Synchronization problems
Cannot synchronize
When using MTC to synchronize the BR-1600CD with a
MIDI sequencer, the BR-1600CD must be the master device.
❍
Is the MIDI cable connected correctly?
❍
Is the MIDI cable broken?
❍
Has the sync generator been set to the desired
synchronization method (MTC or MIDI Clock)?
(p. 226)
❍
If you are synchronizing with MTC, has the other
device been set to the same MTC type? (p. 227)
❍
Has the MIDI sequencer been set correctly?
❍
Is the MIDI sequencer ready to play back?
❍
Does the other device support the MMC commands
of the BR-1600CD?
Cannot record MIDI Clock (cannot use
the sync track)
❍
Is the external MIDI sequencer set to transmit MIDI
Clock/Start/Stop?
Cannot control faders using MIDI
❍
Is the MIDI cable connecting the external MIDI
sequencer connected correctly?
❍
Have you made the settings that enable the external
MIDI sequencer to record and play back the fader
information transmitted from the BR-1600CD?
Fader messages are transmitted and received using
Control Change #7 (Volume). The external MIDI
sequencer must be set so it is able to transmit and receive
such MIDI messages.
Problems with USB
The message “Waiting...” does not
turn off
❍
Is the USB cable properly connected?
❍
Is your computer's operating system compatible with
the BR-1600CD?
Windows: Windows Me/2000 /XP
Macintosh: Mac OS 9.1.x, 9.2.x, Mac OS X
Other problems
When the power is turned on, the
previous data has not been saved
correctly
It is possible that the power of the BR-1600CD was turned off
without using the POWER switch. The lost data cannot be
recovered.
