10 — Operation Guide
Manual eject (emergency disc removal)
Manual eject allows you to remove the disc manually in the case of an emer-
gency such as a malfunction of the disc tray mechanism (usually temporary) or a
power failure. Please be aware that using this method frequently can cause the
CD-RW drive to malfunction. For the location of the eject hole and the proce-
dure, refer to the manual of your CD-RW drive.
In order to perform this operation, you will need a pin-like object 2 mm or less in
diameter, such as a straightened paper clip.

About external SCSI devices
The external SCSI devices referred to here are storage devices used to backup/

can be used.
• Type of drive: MO drives (128 MB, 230 MB, 540MB, 640 MB 1.3 GB), hard
disk drives, CD-RW drives
• Interface: SCSI-2
• Models known to work: consult your local Yamaha distributor or refer to the
website at the following URL.

• By “models known to work,” we mean commercially available models that
Yamaha has obtained, connected to the AW4416, and successfully tested by
means of various operational tests. However, we cannot take into account
slight differences in performance that may occur due to the manufacturing tol-
erances of each manufacturer.
• Please be aware that Yamaha Corporation will accept no responsibility for an y
damages, neither direct nor indirect, resulting from the use of any of the above
storage devices.
It is not possible to directly record or play back audio signals in realtime on an
external storage device connected to the SCSI connector.
