Introduction

Thank you very much for purchasing the Model LR16.

The LR16 is a live recording mixer which consists of the control unit which is equipped with a digital mixer and the main unit which is equipped with a recorder and I/O connectors.

To ensure the best performance, read this manual thoroughly before using the LR16. Keep this manual handy for future reference.

About power supply

•Be sure to connect the LR16 to the power supply specified in the specifications section of this owner’s manual. Do not use an AC outlet of any other voltage.

•Do not connect the LR16 to the same AC outlet to which devices that could generate noise (such as a large motor or dimmer), or the devices that consume a large amount of power (such as an air conditioning system or large electric heater) are connected.

•If you use the LR16 in an area with a different power voltage, first consult your dealer or the nearest Fostex service station. You can use the LR16 with a power frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz.

•It is very dangerous to use a power cord that is frayed or damage. In such a case, stop using the LR16 immediately and ask your dealer to repair the cord.

•To avoid possible electric shock and damage to the LR16, avoid contact with water or other liquids, or do not handle the power plug while your hands are wet.

•To prevent possible electric shock and damage to the LR16, do not remove the main unit cover or reach the inside the LR16.

•Do not let water or other liquid, or metal objects such as pins, accidentally enter the inside of the LR16 because this may lead to electric shock or damage.

Should water enter the inside of the LR16, remove the power plug from AC outlet, and consult your dealer or the nearest Fostex service station.

•To prevent damage to the LR16, be sure to power on the connected devices first, then turn on the power to the LR16. When you remove or connect the cables to the input/output connectors on the LR16,

make sure that the channel and master faders and volume controls are set “∞”.

Precautions on installation

•Do not install the unit in the following conditions.

*In an extremely hot or cold place

*In a moist place

*In a vibrated place

*In a dusty place

*In a strong magnetic field or near a device which generates a magnetic field

*In the direct sunshine

*In the direct shower or rain

•To integrate the main unit and control unit or mount them to a rack, follow the instruction described in this manual (note that screws for rack mounting are not supplied with the LR16).

Notes on handling the internal hard disk drive

•A hard disk drive for recording/playback is built in the recorder section of the main unit. When you move or install the LR16, Do not apply mechanical shock or drop the unit.

When you install the main unit and control unit separately, wire the CAT-5 cable between these units with care to avoid catching the cable with your foot.

<Note>: The replacement of the internal hard disk drive should be done by an au- thorized service person. If the hard disk drive malfunctions, contact your dealer or the nearest Fostex service station.
