■Can’t save a file
• Is there sufficient space on the internal hard disk to create
a new song?
• Did you perform the correct shut-down procedure when
you last turned off the power?
→Disconnecting the power without performing the shutdown
operation will shorten the lifespan of the hard disk and CD-
RW drive, may damage the hard disk and CD-RW drive and
disc, and may result in loss of data.

shock?
■AW2816 backup files cannot be saved

track or other data, that sound file will remain on the disk.
Execute the Optimize command in the SONG screen LIST
page.
■Can’t create an audio CD
• Is CD-R/RW media inserted?
• The inserted CD-R may have already been finalized.
• Is a signal recorded on the stereo track?

•Have you saved a song after the stereo track has been
recorded?
■An audio CD you created does not play back
on a conventional player
• An audio CD you created you not play back on a conven-
tional player unless the disc has been finalized.
■Audio recorded on CD-RW media does not
play back on some players

played back, the player must support CD-RW. Contact the
manufacturer of the player regarding CD-RW support.
■The sound skips while playing an audio CD
that you created
• Depending on the CD-R media you use, there may be dif-
ferences in the quality of the completed CD.
■The computer doesn’t recognize the
AW1600 hard disk
• Is the USB cable properly connected?
• Is your computer running the appropriate operating sys-
tem?
→Windows XP Professional/Home Edition SP1 or higher, or
Mac OS X 10.3 or higher. Operation is not guaranteed with
other operating systems.
• Is the USB storage mode turned ON?
■Can’t find WAV files copied from the com-
puter to the Transport folder
•Have you copied WAV files with a different bit depth from
the song? Have you copied WAV files with sampling fre-
quency other than 44.1 kHz?
■Can’t find WAV files copied from the com-
puter to the Audio folder

■Can’t hear any pitch change?
• Make sure that RATE is NOT set to “000.”
• Make sure that BYPASS is off.
■The voice is not recognized
•When the voice is high, set TYPE to FEMALE; when it is
low, set TYPE to MALE.
■Pitch correction doesn’t sound right
• In some cases, pitch correction may sound unnatural —
especially for parts sung with vibrato. To make the pitch-
corrected vocal sound more natural and subtle, set
DETECT to a relatively short value and set RATE to a rel-
atively slow value.
