MR16 Owner’s Manual (Troubleshooting)

Troubles for playback

<Trouble 1>: During playback, the recorder suddenly executes locating.

•Is " (auto return)" or " (loop)" shown on the display? If so, the play mode is set to the auto return or loop mode. Press the [PLAY MODE] key until "Off" is selected.

<Trouble 2>: Cannot monitor the playback sound.

•Are the track fader(s) for the playback track(s) and the [MASTER] fader brought up to the appropriate positions?

Raise the fader(s) for the track(s) you want to monitor, as well as the [MASTER] fader. If you monitor via headphones, also raise the [PHONES VOL] control.

<Trouble 3>: I press the [PLAY] key while holding down the [STOP] key, but I cannot execute loop playback.

•Are the LOCATE A and LOCATE B points set correctly?

By default, both of these points are set to the beginning of a song (i.e. "0m 00s 000ms" or "-2bar 1beat 00clk"). In this condition, you cannot execute loop play back. Also, if the LOCATE B point is earlier than the LOCATE A point, you cannot execute loop playback.

Troubles for effect
