Extra information on jacks and connectors

USB connector

This B-type connector is used to connect with a host
computer. (USB: Universal Serial Bus)
The BR-1600CD is compatible with USB version 1.1. By
connecting it with the USB connector of a PC using a
commercially available USB cable, you can transfer song
data, .wav files and other similar information between the
PC and the BR-1600CD. In addition, this also allows you to
backup song data and the like on your PC’s hard disk.

“Section 6 Using USB” (p. 239)

When a connection is made using USB, you will be able
to access the data on the BR-1600CD’s hard disk from
your PC. Accordingly, there is an increased danger of
accidentally damaging or deleting the BR-1600CD data.
Extra special care must be taken in such a situation as
data damaged or lost in this way cannot be restored.
Please also note that BOSS/Roland will accept no
responsibility for the repair of damaged data or for
compensation for lost or damaged data.

The BR-1600CD can be used neither as a USB host nor a
USB hub. As a result, you will not be able to use the USB
connector to access external hard disks, CD-R/RW
drives, or other similar types of USB device.
Furthermore, this USB connector cannot be used with an
audio interface or the like.

Power supply

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. Failure to observe this precaution can result in the
outbreak of fire or electrical shock. Note also that usage
of any other type of AC adaptor can result in the
permanent damage of the BR-1600CD itself, the hard
disk, or the CD-R/RW drive. It is important, therefore,
that the appropriate care be taken.

If you disconnect the AC adaptor while the BR-1600CD
is reading from or writing to its hard disk (i.e., when the
HD ACCESS indicator is lit), the hard disk will be
irrepairably damaged. If a hard disk is damaged in this
way, you will be no longer able to use it for recording,
playback, song saving, or song loading; furthermore,
there is a high probability that valuable data will be lost.
Be sure, therefore, to loop the AC adaptor’s cord around
the cord hook to prevent it being accidentally pulled out
during operation of the BR-1600CD.
