Panel Descriptions

Rear Panel

fig.05-04

1. POWER switch

Use this switch to turn the BR-1600CD on and off (Basic

Operation; p. 8).

2. DC IN (AC adaptor) jack

Connect the BR-1600CD’s AC adaptor to this jack.

In order to prevent accidents, avoid using any AC adaptor

other than the AC adaptor supplied with this unit.

3. Cord hook

Loop the AC adaptor’s cord around this hook in order to

prevent its plug from being pulled out accidentally. If the AC

adaptor should be disconnected while you are using the BR-

1600CD, there is a danger of important audio data being

permanently lost.

4. MIDI IN connector

The BR-1600CD receives MIDI data via this connector.

Connect the MIDI OUT connector of external MIDI devices

such as sequencers to this connector using a MIDI cable.

“MIDI connectors” (p. 36)

“Section 5 Using MIDI” (p. 221)

5. MIDI OUT connector

The BR-1600CD transmits MIDI data via this connector.

Connect the MIDI IN connector of external MIDI devices

such as rhythm machines, sequencers, and sound modules to

this connector using a MIDI cable.

“Section 5 Using MIDI” (p. 221)

6. USB connector

Plug a USB cable into this connector when you want to

exchange data between the BR-1600CD and a PC.

“USB connector” (p. 37)

“Section 6 Using USB” (p. 239)

7. DIGITAL IN connector

This coaxial-type connector is used to input digital audio

signals into the BR-1600CD. Connect it the digital output of a

BOSS GT-8, a CD player, or another similar device to allow

digital audio to be input.

“Inputting audio with no loss of quality (Digital In

Assign)” (p. 261)

8. DIGITAL OUT connector

This coaxial-type connector is used to output digital audio

signals from the BR-1600CD, and its output is identical to

that of the LINE OUT jack. You can use the DIGITAL OUT

connector to record the BR-1600CD’s output on CD-R or MD

recorders. In addition, it can also be used to make

connections with amplifiers, speakers, and other devices

with digital inputs.
