Important

Read the following before oper-

ating the AW2816

■

Warnings

• Do not place a container with liquid or small

metal objects on top of this unit. Liquid or metal

objects inside this unit are a ﬁre and electrical

shock hazard.

• Do not allow water to enter this unit or allow the

unit to become wet. Fire or electrical shock may

result.

• Connect this unit’s power cord only to an AC out-

let of the type stated in this Owner’s Manual or as

marked on the unit. Failure to do so is a ﬁre and

electrical shock hazard.

• Do not scratch, bend, twist, pull, or heat the

power cord. A damaged power cord is a ﬁre and

electrical shock hazard.

• Do not place heavy objects, including this unit, on

top of the power cord. A damaged power cord is a

ﬁre and electrical shock hazard. In particular, be

careful not to place heavy objects on a power cord

covered by a carpet.

• To avoid possible electrical shock, do not install

an I/O card, hard disk, or CD-RW drive in the unit

while the power cable is connected to the AC out-

let.

• Use the ground connector on the rear panel to

securely ground the device. If the device is not

grounded, you may suffer a dangerous electrical

shock.

• If you notice any abnormality, such as smoke,

odor, or noise, or if a foreign object or liquid gets

inside the unit, turn it off immediately. Remove the

power cord from the AC outlet. Consult your

dealer for repair. Using the unit in this condition is

a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• Should this unit be dropped or the cabinet be

damaged, turn the power switch off, remove the

power plug from the AC outlet, and contact your

dealer. If you continue using the unit without

heeding this instruction, ﬁre or electrical shock

may result.

• If the power cord is damaged (i.e., cut or a bare

wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a replace-

ment. Using the unit with a damaged power cord

is a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• Do not modify the unit. Doing so is a ﬁre and elec-

trical shock hazard.

• Do not apply force to, disassemble, or modify the

I/O card, the PC board of the hard disk, or the con-

nectors on the unit. Otherwise, malfunction, ﬁre,

or electrical shock may result.

• If lightning begins to occur, turn off the power

switch of the unit as soon as possible, and unplug

the power cable plug from the electrical outlet.

• If there is a possibility of lightning, do not touch

the power cable plug if it is still connected. Doing

so may be an electrical shock hazard.

■

Cautions

• This unit has ventilation holes at the bottom to pre-

vent the internal temperature rising too high. Do

not block them. Blocked ventilation holes are a

ﬁre hazard.

• Hold the power cord plug when disconnecting it

from an AC outlet. Never pull the cord. A dam-

aged power cord is a potential ﬁre and electrical

shock hazard.

• Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.

Doing so is a potential electrical shock hazard.

• Always touch a well-grounded metal surface or

the like to fully discharge any static electric charge

on your body and clothing before handling an I/O

card or hard disk.

Neglecting this precaution can cause damage to

the unit from static electricity.

• Be careful not to touch the leads (metal feet) on

the rear side when handling an I/O card or hard

disk. Touching the leads can cause contact defects.

• Use only the included power supply cable for this

unit. Using other types may be a ﬁre hazard.

■

Operating Notes

• The digital circuits of this unit may induce a slight

noise into nearby radios and TVs. If noise occurs,

relocate the affected equipment.

• Using a mobile telephone near this unit may

induce noise. If noise occurs, use the telephone

away from the unit.

• XLR-type connectors are wired as follows:

pin 1: ground, pin 2: hot (+), and pin 3: cold (–).

• Insert TRS phone jacks are wired as follows:

sleeve: ground, tip: send, and ring: return.

• If the message “LOW BATTERY” appears when

you turn on this unit, contact your dealer as soon

as possible about replacing the internal data

backup battery.

We recommend that you save the data on CD-RW

drive or external SCSI device before replacing the

battery.

• The performance of components with moving

contacts, such switches, rotary controls, faders,

and connectors, deteriorates over time. The rate of

deterioration depends on the operating environ-

ment and is unavoidable. Consult your dealer

about replacing defective components.

v

Handling the CD-R/RW media

Please observe the following points when handling

the disk.

Failure to do so may cause problems such as the

recorded data being lost, the drive to malfunction, or

the printed label to become blurred.

• Do not place the disk in locations of direct sun-

light, high temperature, or high humidity.

• Do not touch either surface of the disk.

• Hold the disk at the edges. Gently wipe dust or

dirt off of the recording surface of the disk.

• Do not wipe the disk with chemicals or deter-

gents.

• Do not bend or drop the disk.

• Use an air duster or cleaner to remove dust. Vigor-

ously rubbing the surface of the disk with a dry

cloth may scratch the disk.

• Do not write on the disk or afﬁx labels to it.

Storing produced data

Produced data can be lost due to breakdown or mis-

taken operation. We recommend that you store all

important data on CD-R or CD-RW disks or other

external storage medium.

Responsibility for loss of data,

etc.

• Yamaha will accept no responsibility for any dam-

ages (including consequential or incidental)

incurred by the customer or any third party as a

result of loss or impairment of the data stored on

the CD-R media, regardless of whether such loss

could have been or actually was foreseen by

Yamaha.

• Nor does Yamaha guarantee the media against any

defect that may render it unusable.

Cautions for handling optional

equipment

• For inquiries concerning I/O card, hard disk, or

CD-RW drive handling, please consult your

Yamaha dealer.

• Always switch off the power for the main unit and

all peripherals, unplug the power cord for the

main unit from the outlet, then disconnect the

cables connecting the main unit with the peripher-

als before starting installation work.

• Wear thick gloves when working on this equip-

ment to avoid cutting your hands on metal ﬁttings

or the like on the main unit, I/O card, hard disk, or

CD-RW drive.

• Always touch a well-grounded metal surface or

the like to fully discharge any static electric charge

on your body and clothing before starting to work

on this equipment.

• Take extreme care to avoid touching any terminals

or board surface parts.

• In order to protect the electronic circuits of the I/O

card, hard disk, CD-RW drive, etc. from damage

due to static electricity, when handling any of this

equipment, take the most extreme care to avoid

touching IC leads or other electronic parts.

• Be careful not to drop any screws into the main

unit. If you switch the power on with a dropped

screw still in the main unit, the main unit may

malfunction or break down. If a dropped screw

can not be retrieved, consult your Yamaha dealer.

• If the hard disk or CD-RW drive breaks down, con-

tact the store where you purchased that equip-

ment.

Except for duplication for personal use or when there

is no copyright problem, the duplication or transfer of

commercially sold music/sound data without the per-

mission of the copyright holder is prohibited. When

using this equipment, please consult with a copyright

specialist.

Operation section

Installing an internal hard disk

You must install a hard disk in the AW2816 before using it. If you attempt to use the

AW2816 without installing a hard disk, the recorder section and mixer section will

fail to operate correctly, and the AW2816 will be damaged as well.

About the internal hard disk

On the AW2816, all data necessary for reproducing a

composition (mixer settings, recorder settings, audio

data etc.) is stored on the hard disk as a “song.”

An internal hard disk is installed by attaching it to the

inside of the hard disk cover plate located on the bot-

tom panel of the AW2816. Hard disks with the follow-

ing speciﬁcations can be used.

• Type: IDE 2.5 inch (attachment location con-

forms to SFF-8201)

• Thickness: no particular limitation

• Capacity: no particular limitation (however, the

AW2816 can use a maximum capacity of 64 GB)

• Models known to work: consult your local

Yamaha distributor or refer to the website at the

following URL.

<http://www.aw2816.com/>

• By “models known to work,” we mean commercially

available models that Yamaha has obtained, installed

in the AW2816, 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 tolerances of

each manufacturer.

• Hard disks are precision devices. Strong physical

shock, magnetism, static electricity, or excessive cur-

rent etc. can damage the data on a hard disk. You

must use media such as an external SCSI device or

CD-RW to backup your important musical data.

• Please be aware that Yamaha Corporation will

accept no responsibility for any damages, neither

direct nor indirect, resulting from the use of any of

the above hard disks.

Installation

Please read and observe the cautions on installing

optional equipment listed at the beginning of this

manual.

The following steps describe the procedure by which

the 2.5 inch IDE hard disk is attached to the hard disk

cover plate located on the bottom of the AW2816 for

installation.

• Hard disks are precision devices. Do not subject

them to physical shock or static electricity, etc.

• Do not place a hard disk nearby devices that pro-

duce a strong magnetic ﬁeld, or in locations of

extreme cold, heat, or moisture.

• Before you handle a hard disk, touch your hand to a

grounded metallic object to release any static

charge that may be present in your body or clothing.

If you fail to do so, static electricity may damage the

hard disk.

• Never attempt to disassemble a hard disk or apply

excessive force to it.

• In order to install the internal hard disk, you will

need to turn the AW2816 upside down. Please make

sure that your work surface is spacious enough.

• The AW2816 is shipped with four screws for attach-

ing a 2.5 inch hard disk, and four screws for attach-

ing a CD-RW drive, making a total of eight included

screws of the same type.

1

You will need the following items.

• The AW2816 itself

• A 2.5 inch IDE hard disk (sold separately) for

installation

• Four screws included with the AW2816 for

attaching the 2.5 inch hard disk

• A philips (+) screwdriver

• Work surface

2

Make sure that the power of the AW2816

is turned off. For safety’s sake, disconnect

the power cable from the AC outlet.

Always switch off the power for the main unit and all

peripherals, unplug the power cord for the main unit

from the outlet, then disconnect the cables connect-

ing the main unit with the peripherals before starting

installation work.

3

Before you begin

Operation section

3

Spread a soft cloth over your work surface,

and place magazines or books to support

the four corners of the AW2816 so that the

faders, keys, and other controllers on the

top panel will not be damaged. Then turn

the AW2816 face down.

4

From the bottom, unfasten the hard disk

cover plate to which the internal 2.5 inch

IDE hard disk will be attached.

The screws you remove will be used again to fasten

the cover plate, so be careful not to lose them.

5

Turn over the hard disk cover plate. As

shown in the illustration, place the hard

disk to be installed on the cover plate,

align the screw holes of the hard disk with

the holes of the cover panel, and use a

screwdriver and the included screws to fas-

ten the hard disk at four locations.

If you fail to tighten the screws all the way, the hard

disk may vibrate and fail to operate correctly.

6

Pull out the ﬂat cable from inside the

AW2816, and plug the ﬂat cable into the

connector of the hard disk as shown in the

illustration. Press both ends of the ﬂat

cable connector to ensure that it is ﬁrmly

plugged in all the way.

• Even if the connector is difﬁcult to insert, do not

attempt to insert it by applying excessive force.

Doing so may damage the hard disk, or you may

injure yourself.

• When inserting the connector, be careful that it is

not mis-aligned up/down or left/right.

7

As shown in the illustration place the cover

plate with the attached hard disk back

onto the bottom panel of the AW2816,

and fasten the cover plate to the bottom

panel using the four screws that you

removed in step 4.

• You must use the same screws that you removed in

step 4, or identical screws. Using longer screws may

damage the interior of the unit, or may cause elec-

trical shock.

• Do not turn on the power of the AW2816 until all

options have been installed.

• When you turn on the power of the AW2816 after

installing a new hard disk, formatting of the hard

disk will begin automatically (

→

P.11).

Installing a CD-RW drive

About the CD-RW drives

A CD-RW drive is an option that allows you to create

music CD’s, to backup/restore internal hard disk data,

to play a music CD or to read a CD-ROM. An inter-

nal-type CD-RW drive can be installed by removing

the CD-RW drive cover from the front panel. CD-RW

drives with the following speciﬁcations can be used.

• Interface: ATAPI

• Models known to work: consult your local

Yamaha distributor or refer to the website at the

following URL.

<http://www.aw2816.com/>

• CD-RW drives designed for internal installation can

be installed in the AW2816. Please be aware that

internal CD-RW drives designed for use with the

AW4416 cannot be used in the AW2816.

In the case of external SCSI-connected CD-RW

drives, a CD-RW drive usable with the AW4416 can

also be used with the AW2816.

• By “models known to work,” we mean commercially

available models that Yamaha has obtained, installed

in the AW2816, 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 tolerances of

each manufacturer.

• Please be aware that Yamaha Corporation will

accept no responsibility for any damages, neither

direct nor indirect, resulting from the use of any of

the above CD-RW drives.

CD-RW drive settings

Insert the jumper (included with the CD-RW drive)

into the jumper switch on the rear panel of the CD-

RW drive to set your CD-RW drive to function as a

SLAVE unit. The AW2816 will not start up if the CD-

RW is set to a mode other than SLAVE.

• If you are installing a CD-RW drive manufac-

tured by Yamaha, it will be set to SLAVE when

shipped from the factory, so you do not need to

change the setting.

For details on this setting, refer to the manual that

came with your CD-RW drive.

* Note that the cover panel of the AW2816 cannot be

attached to a CD-RW drive with a lid-type tray. The

Removing the transport protection pad

The disc tray of some CD-RW drive models contains a

transport protection pad that protects the internal

mechanism from physical shock suffered during ship-

ment. If your CD-RW drive contains this protective

pad, please remove it before use.

Be sure to save the transport protection pad for the

next time you need to transport the unit.

Manual eject (emergency disc

removal)

Manual eject allows you to remove the disc manually

in the case of an emergency 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 malfunc-

tion. 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.

Operation section

Attaching an external SCSI device

About external SCSI devices

The external SCSI devices referred to here are storage

devices used to backup/restore the internal data of the

AW2816, and can be connected to the SCSI connec-

tor on the rear panel of the AW2816. The following

types of storage device 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.

<http://www.aw2816.com/>

• By “models known to work,” we mean commercially

available models that Yamaha has obtained, con-

nected to the AW2816, and successfully tested by

means of various operational tests. However, we

cannot take into account slight differences in perfor-

mance that may occur due to the manufacturing tol-

erances of each manufacturer.

• Please be aware that Yamaha Corporation will

accept no responsibility for any 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 con-

nected to the SCSI connector.

Connection procedure

1

Make sure that the power is turned off for

the AW2816 and for the external SCSI

device(s), and use a SCSI cable to connect

the SCSI connectors of each device.

Use only good-quality SCSI cables.

When connecting an external SCSI device, use

only high impedance SCSI cables of 100 ohms

(±10 ohms) impedance that are 1 meter or

shorter in length.

Note

• A maximum of seven SCSI devices (SCSI ID= 0–5,7)

can be connected in a daisy-chain.

• When connecting multiple SCSI devices, you must

make sure that the SCSI ID of each device does not

conﬂict with any other device. (For details on how

to set the SCSI ID, refer to the manuals for your

SCSI devices.)

• The SCSI ID of the AW2816 itself is ﬁxed at “6.”

Before you begin

Operation section

2

Attach a terminator to the last SCSI device

in the chain.

A “terminator” is a device that terminates the

SCSI signal at the end of the chain, and is nor-

mally attached to the vacant SCSI connector of

the last device in the daisy chain. If the SCSI

device itself has a built-in terminator, turn it on.

(For details on how to turn on the internal termi-

nator, refer to the manual of your SCSI device.)

Before using an external SCSI device, you will need to

format it. For details on this procedure, refer to

page 160.

■ About terminators

“Termination” refers to the process of applying a resis-

tor appropriate for the impedance of the SCSI bus to

terminate the end of the circuit. The resistor required

for this is called the “terminator.” Normally, a termina-

tor must be installed at the beginning and end of the

SCSI bus (in the case of the example in the previous

page, this would be the AW2816 itself, and the SCSI

device connected to the end of the daisy chain).

However, this is only a general principle, and is not

an absolute. Depending on the combination of SCSI

devices, the order of connection, or on the length of

the SCSI cables, there may be cases in which better

results are obtained by terminating only one end of

the chain. If problems occur such as the AW2816 fail-

ing to start up when an external SCSI device is con-

nected, try defeating the terminator of the external

SCSI device. (The terminator inside the AW2816 is

always on, and cannot be defeated.)

■ About SCSI errors

The SCSI bus is able to transfer data in a stable man-

ner only if all connected SCSI devices are operating

correctly. If the SCSI bus of the AW2816 is connected

to a device whose operation is unstable or which pro-

duces noise, errors may occur in other devices, or the

AW2816 may fail to start up correctly. If such prob-

lems occur, check the following points.

●Check the SCSI ID

Make sure that the SCSI ID of each SCSI device

(including the AW2816) does not conﬂict with the

SCSI ID of any other device. The SCSI ID of the

AW2816 is ﬁxed at “6.”

●Check the terminator

Check the location of the terminator. Under certain

conditions, better results may be obtained by termi-

nating only one end of the SCSI chain.

●Check the SCSI cables

Since errors are often caused by low-quality SCSI

cables or unnecessarily long SCSI cables, you

should avoid using such cables. Please use double-

shielded cables that are as short as possible. It is

also important that the shield within the cable is

grounded to the connector.

●External SCSI devices with 25-pin connectors

Most SCSI cables with 25-pin connectors at both

ends do not meet SCSI speciﬁcations. For this rea-

son if the system includes a SCSI device that uses a

25-pin connector, the problems may be due to this

type of cable.

●Daisy-chain connection

Sometimes the operation of a SCSI bus will be

unstable because of daisy-chain connections. Con-

nect only the SCSI device you are using to the

AW2816.

●Power supply of SCSI devices

When using the system, turn on the power of all

connected SCSI devices. Operation of the SCSI bus

cannot be guaranteed if one of the connected

devices is not turned on.

Before you begin

Operation section

Please observe the following points

This section explains how to turn the power of the AW2816 on and off, and how to set

the internal clock.

Turning the power on

When turning on the power of a system that includes

the AW2816, each device must be turned on in the

following order.

1 Any storage devices connected to the SCSI

connector of the AW2816, and external tone

generators connected to the input/output

jacks

B The AW2816 itself

C The monitor system connected to the output

jacks or the AW2816

Following the opening screen, the following screen

will appear in the display of the AW2816.

• If the AW2816 is powered-on when a SCSI-con-

nected external device is turned off, it may not start

up correctly.

• Do not turn off the power of a SCSI-connected

device while the AW2816 is in use.

• Before turning the power on, check that the power

cable plug is ﬁrmly connected to the AW2816 and to

the AC outlet. If the power is accidentally discon-

nected (turned off) while the AW2816 is in use, the

AW2816 itself and/or the hard disk may be damaged.

The ﬁrst time the power is turned on after a new inter-

nal hard disk is installed in the AW2816, the display

will indicate “Format OK? [Y (Enter)/N (Any)].” If you

press the [ENTER] key at this time, the hard disk will

be formatted automatically, and the screen shown

above will appear when formatting has been com-

pleted.

Never turn off the power of the AW2816 while for-

matting is in progress. Doing so may damage the hard

disk itself.

Setting the internal clock

When the AW2816 is shipped from the factory, the

internal clock is set to Japan time. When you save a

song you created on the AW2816, the date and time

will be stored according to this internal clock.

Use the following procedure to set the date and time

of the internal clock after replacing the internal bat-

tery, or if you need to set the clock for any other rea-

son.

1

Press the [UTILITY] key → [F4] key.

The following screen will appear.

2

Use the CURSOR [ ] key to move the cur-

sor (the blinking area in the display) to the

Y (year) ﬁeld in the CLOCK area, and turn

the [DATA/JOG] dial to set the year.

The clock ﬁeld will begin blinking.

3

In the same way, input the M (month), D

(date), h (hour), m (minute), and s (sec-

ond) ﬁelds.

The W (weekday) ﬁeld will be set automatically

according to the date.

4

When you have input all of the values, use

the CURSOR keys to move the cursor to

the SET button, and press the [ENTER] key.

The CLOCK area will stop blinking, and the new

date and time will take effect. If you decide not

to change the date and time, move the cursor to

the RESET button and press the [ENTER] key.

Tip!

The internal clock continues to operate even when the

power of the AW2816 is turned off. Once you have

set the clock, you will not need to reset it unless you

change the battery.
