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

Exporting a WAV file to a personal computer

The following describes the procedure for exporting a WAV file to a Windows ME computer.

<Note>: You can export only a stereo WAV file which is converted from a pair of mono WAV files on tracks 15/16, as described earlier in "WAV file conversion". A mono WAV file or undo file cannot be exported to a personal computer.

<Important note>

*********.wav

#####002.wav

#####003.wav

#####008.wav

Converted stereo WAV files are located in the "2 MIX" folder in the Song folder, as shown below. So you can export only a stereo WAV file in the "2 MIX" folder (in- dicated by an arrow).

Note that, if you export a WAV file which is located in a folder other than the "2 MIX" folder, the MR16 may mal- function.

<Disk protection>

By default, the “disk protect” function which is effective in the USB mode is set to “On”.

In this condition, the MR16 can export data to a personal computer but cannot import data from a computer. This is for protecting the MR16 internal hard disk from importing a file from a computer inappropriately and destroying the MR16 song data.

You can enable or disable this function, however, we recommend using the MR16 by setting it to “On”.

If you use the MR16 by setting the “disk protect” function to “Off”, read “Archiving a song” on page 111 before using. See page 110 for details about how to make the “disk protection” setting.

<Note on backup>

When exporting song data on the hard disk to a personal computer for backup, always export the whole song folder. You cannot export individual track data.

See “Archiving a song” on page 111 for details about song data backup.
