Something wrong with the sound
■Signal from the INPUT 8 jack is too loud
•A conventional line-level signal may be connected to
the Hi-Z jack.
■Sound is distorted
• Is the [GAIN] control set correctly?
•The connection cable from the external device may
be broken.
•The fader of the input channel or monitor channel
may be raised excessively.
•The stereo output channel fader may be raised exces-
sively.
•The stereo output channel attenuator may be raised
excessively.
•The EQ or dynamics processor may have been set to
produce an extreme gain boost.
• Did you record at an appropriate level?
•Is the word clock setting correct for both the AW16G
and the external device(s)?
•An effect such as Distortion or Amp Simulate may be
in use.
*Go to the VIEW screen METER page and check the level
(meter movement).
■The volume of a particular channel increases or
decreases
• Are the dynamics processor settings appropriate?
•A scene recall may be specified in the SONG screen
TEMPO MAP.
■Can’t store a scene
•The store-destination scene may be protected.
•A scene cannot be stored in scene number 00.
■Can’t reproduce a scene
• One or more channels may be set to Recall Safe.
■Can’t save to a library
•It is not possible to save to the factory-preset libraries.
■Meters move even though the faders are lowered
•The meter display may be set to PRE FADER.
■Moving a fader does not change the level
•In the [VIEW] screen FADER page, check whether the
display moves in correspondence with fader opera-
tions.
* You cannot control the level until the panel fader posi-
tion matches the position shown in the display.
• In the UTILITY screen PREFER page, is FADER FLIP
set appropriately?
*When the power is turned on, FADER FLIP will be set to
TRACK.
•The fader may be set to PRE FADE in AUX.
■Pairing was specified, but the signal is monaural
•Is the odd-numbered channel panned far left and the
even-numbered channel panned far right?
■Pairing was specified, but the signal phase does not
match
•Even when channels are paired, the phase setting is
not linked.
■Signal is delayed
• An effect such as delay may be inserted.
■Can’t use the internal effects
• Effect BYPASS may be turned ON.
•The effect may have been inserted into a different
channel.
• Are the level of EFF.RTN 1, 2 faders raised?
• 019. HQ. Pitch can be used only with EFFECT 2.
•These do not affect the stereo track, sound clip, or
audio CD playback.
■Playback pitch is wrong
•VARI may be selected.
• Is the synchronized external device operating on the
same sampling frequency (44.1 kHz)?
• Is the master device operating in a stable way?
•You may have executed the EDIT screen PITCH com-
mand.
• Is an effect such as HQ.Pitch or Dual Pitch selected
for a monitor channel?
Recorder operations
■When you press the [PLAY] key it blinks, and play-
back does not occur
• Is the AW16G set to MTC SLAVE?
* Access the UTILITY screen MIDI page, and check the
setting.
■Something goes wrong with the sound when you use
the [FF] key or [REW] key
• Differences in the number of simultaneously played
tracks will affect the way in which the sound is heard
when these controls are operated.
■Can’t edit a recorded track
•The song may be protected.
•Have you selected the virtual track that you
recorded?
■Editing results are not heard in the sound
•Have you selected the virtual track that you
recorded?
• Are you using the appropriate editing command? *
* For details on editing commands, refer to “EDIT
screen.”
■Counter display is not 0 when you return to the
beginning of the song
•The display mode may be set to REMAIN (remaining
recording time).
• If the display mode is set to REL (relative time), the
start point may be specified.
*Go to the SONG screen SETUP, POINT page and check
the settings.
■Display indicates DISK FULL, MEMORY FULL, or
TOO MANY REGIONS, and you cannot record or
edit
•There is insufficient free space, or too many record-
ing regions. Erase unneeded tracks and then perform
the Optimize operation to obtain more free space.
■The display indicates DISK BUSY during playback
• It is possible that the recorded data has become frag-
mented, so that it cannot be read fast enough. You
can try measures such as re-recording, deleting
tracks, or backing up the data and then formatting the
hard disk.
