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.

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.

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.

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.

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) eld 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) elds.
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.
