MR16 Owner’s Manual (Data export to a personal computer)

WAV file conversion

The following describes how to convert track data (bounced to track 15/16 of the same song or the new song, or recorded to tracks 15/16 in stereo) to a stereo WAV file. You can export a converted WAV file to your personal computer and burn it to an audio CD using the CD-R function of the personal computer. You can also burn track data to an audio CD by connecting the external CD-R/RW drive to the [USB HOST] port of the unit, or using the internal CD-R/RW drive if it is provided to your MR16 (see the "How to use the CD-R/RW drive" supplementary manual). For details about how to export a converted WAV file to your personal computer, see page 107 below. For details about how to burn track data to an audio CD using the external or internal CD-R/RW drive, see the "How to use the CD-R/RW drive" supplementary manual.

Two mono WAV files recorded on tracks 15/16 are converted to a stereo WAV file as shown below. (Note that only files recorded on tracks 15/16 can be converted to a stereo WAV file.)

Track 15	Track 16	Stereo
(L ch)	(R ch)	(L, R)

<Note>: If you are going to make conversion when no WAV data exists on tracks 15/16, the error message ("Track 15/16 Empty!") appears and the operation is canceled.

You can convert all track data (from ABS ZERO to REC END) or data of a specified part (between the LOCATE A and LOCATE B points).

<Note>: If you want to convert a part of track data, you have to set the LOCATE A and LOCATE B points in advance.

<Hint>: You can play back a converted stereo WAV file for checking, as well as set CUE points for dividing file data into individual CD tracks before writing it to a CD-R/RW disc.

See the supplementary manual “How to use the CD-R/RW drive” for details.

You can enable the WAV file conversion function by pressing the [15/16 > STEREO WAV FILE] key. You can disable the WAV file conversion function by pressing the [STOP] key. When the WAV file conversion function is active, the display shows the screen as below.
