WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed
below to avoid the possibility of serious
injury or even death from electrical shock,
short-circuiting, damages, fire or other
hazards. These precautions include, but
are not limited to, the following:
•
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify
the card. Do not apply excessive force to
card connectors or other card compo-
nents. Mishandling of the card may lead to
shock, fire hazard, or equipment failure.
•
Be sure to disconnect the power cable of
the main unit before installing this card (in
order to eliminate shock hazard).
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed
below to avoid the possibility of physical
injury to you or others, or damage to the
instrument or other property. These
precautions include, but are not limited
to, the following:
•
The card is sensitive to static electricity.
Before handling the card, you should
briefly touch the metal casing of the main
unit with your bare hand to discharge any
static charge from your body. Failure to do
so may damage the card.
•
Do not touch the metallic leads (pins) of the
circuit board when handling the card. The
pins are sharp and may cause hand cuts.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for data loss or equipment damage caused by
inappropriate handling or use.
INSTALLATION
Please refer to the owner’s manual of the main unit for information about how to install the card.
(If information is not provided, please consult your Yamaha dealer.)
You will need to set the DIP switches according to your application. Before you install the card,
refer to “DIP switch settings” (p.10).
CD8-mLAN Installation Precautions
•
Before beginning installation, switch off the power to the main unit and any connected periph-
erals, and unplug them from the power outlet. Then remove all cables connecting the main
unit to other devices. (Leaving the power cord connected while working can result in electric
shock. Leaving other cables connected can interfere with the installation procedure.)
•
It is recommended that you wear gloves to protect your hands from sharp or pointed projec-
tions on the equipment.
•
Board components may be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Be sure to drain any electro-
static charge from body and clothes before starting work. Keep hands clear of board compo-
nents, board circuitry, and metallic leads while carrying out the installation.
•
Handle the plug-in boards with care. Dropping or subjecting the card to any kind of shock may
cause damage or result in a malfunction.
•
Do not touch the exposed metal parts in the circuit board. Touching these parts may result in a
faulty contact.
•
Take care to avoid dropping screws into the main unit. If a screw does fall in, be sure to remove
it before you reassemble and power up the unit. Starting the unit with a loose screw inside may
lead to improper operation or to equipment failure. (If you are unable to retrieve a dropped
screw, consult your Yamaha dealer for advice.)

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha CD8-mLAN. The CD8-mLAN is an interface card that
provides mLAN interfacing. mLAN is a digital network designed for music and based on the IEEE
1394 high performance serial bus. mLAN makes it easy to construct sophisticated networks for
audio and MIDI signals that can be re-configured without changing the physical cabling (as was
necessary with previous systems).
The CD8-mLAN adds two mLAN connectors to the Yamaha 02R or 03D digital recording
consoles.
For details on installing the interface card, refer to the owner’s manual of the device in which the
card is being installed.

About the included CD-ROM
The included CD-ROM contains software that is useful when used in conjunction with the
CD8-mLAN. The software includes “mLAN Patchbay” which allows audio /MIDI signal
routing between electronic musical instruments connected to the CD8-mLAN to be con-
trolled from your computer. For details refer to the separate “mLAN Tools Installation
Guide.”
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or
modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

Names and Functions
A
SERIAL I/O jack
This jack is used to connect the CD8-mLAN directly to a personal computer via a serial cable. Use
this jack to connect the CD8-mLAN and the computer when you are using the mLAN Patchbay and
mLAN Mixer on Windows. This is not used to input or output MIDI and audio signals. Refer to page
7 for more information on the connections.
B
mLAN (IEEE1394) jacks
These jacks are used to connect mLAN devices or IEEE1394-compatible devices via IEEE1394 stan-
dard (6-pin) cables. Each jack has an LED in the upper left corner to indicate the following statuses.
green : The CD8-mLAN or connected device is a “leaf” node.
off : Not connected.
red : If the cable is disconnected, the sound will be interrupted on a connected device or other
device.
C
RT/ERR LED
This LED indicates the following statuses.
green : The CD8-mLAN is a “root.”
orange : An error has occurred. (IEEE1394 bus-related)
red : An error has occurred. (Other errors)
off : Status other than above.
Refer to “LED Messages” on page 11 for information on the error indication.
D
ACTIVE LED
This LED indicates the following statuses.
blue : The relay function is active.
off : The relay function is disabled.
Since the CD8-mLAN will stop functioning as a bus relay when the power of the main unit is
turned off, this LED will also correspond to the power on (lit blue) or off (dark) status.

Connections
Here’s how to make connections from the CD8-mLAN to other mLAN devices or to your computer.
Connecting an mLAN (IEEE1394) device
Use an IEEE 1394 standard cable (6 pin) to connect the mLAN (IEEE 1394) jack of the CD8-mLAN
to the mLAN (IEEE 1394) connector of the other mLAN (IEEE 1394) device. It is not necessary to
turn off the power of the other mLAN (IEEE 1394) device or the 02R/03D before making these
connections.
Connecting a Windows computer (serial connection)
Use a serial cable to connect the computer’s RS232C jack to the CD8-mLAN’s SERIAL I/O jack. At
this time, make sure that the power to the computer and the 02R/03D is turned off.
Make this serial connection in order to input/output MIDI messages, or when using the
included Windows software.
Use a standard D-SUB 9P
→
MINI DIN 8P cable.
If you wish to transmit and receive MIDI messages via mLAN, you must also make the following
connection.
In order to transmit and receive MIDI messages via mLAN, you must set DIP
switch 1 to “ON (MIDI).”

Connections
Connections for transmitting/receiving MIDI messages
For the 02R
If you wish to transmit/receive MIDI messages via the CD8-mLAN installed in an 02R, you will
need a separately sold external device (with power supply: e.g., an MU series tone generator)
that has a TO HOST connector and MIDI connectors.
A
Use an 8-pin system peripheral cable to connect the SERIAL I/O connector of the
CD8-mLAN to the TO HOST connector of the external device.
B
Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT connector of the 02R to the MIDI IN
connector of the external device. Similar, connect the MIDI OUT connector of the
external device to the MIDI IN connector of the 02R. In this case, set the HOST
SELECT switch of the external device to the “PC-2” position.
For the 03D
Use an 8-pin system peripheral cable to connect the SERIAL I/O connector of the CD8-mLAN to
the TO HOST connector of the 03D.
For details on the signal flow, refer to “Internal Configuration of the CD8-mLAN” (p.9).

DIP switch settings
The circuit board of the CD8-mLAN has several DIP switches. Two of these (switches 1 and 3)
must be set appropriately for your situation. Refer to the following explanation and make the
appropriate settings.
DIP switch 1: SERIAL I/O
Set this “ON” if you wish to use SERIAL I/O for MIDI message input and output. Set this “OFF” if
you wish to use mLAN Patchbay on your computer (Windows). When the CD8-mLAN is shipped
from the factory, this is set to “OFF.”
DIP switch 3: MODEL
Information for the model (module) name of device in which the CD8-mLAN is installed is trans-
mitted to other mLAN devices or to mLAN Patchbay according to this setting. Set this “ON” if
installing the CD8-mLAN in an 02R. Set this “OFF” if installing the CD8-mLAN in an 03D. When
the CD8-mLAN is shipped from the factory, this is set to “ON.”
You do not need to make settings for DIP switches 2 and 4–8.
The factory settings are as follows.
