Cannot Select Same Track
- Cause: You attempted to select the same track more than once during
- Track Edit, WAV/AIFF Export, or another procedure.
- Action: Select a different track.
- Cause: The CD-R/RW disc is full, and no more data can be written to it. Additionally, when creating an audio CD, the total time of the tracks exceeds the capacity of the CD-R/RW disc.
- Action: Reduce the amount of data or number of songs to be written, then try again.
- Cause: An error occurred while reading data from the CD-R/RW disc.
- Action: This may be due to a low-quality or dated disc. Try using a new
- CD-R/RW disc.
- Cause: An error occurred while writing data to the CD-R/RW disc.
- Action: This may be due to a low-quality or dated disc. Try using a new
- CD-R/RW disc.

- Action 1: Prepare the waveform file so that it is longer than 0.5 seconds.
- Cause 2: You attempted to write an audio CD with a track that is less than four seconds in length.
- Action 2: Prepare tracks being written to audio CDs so that they are at least four seconds long.
- Cause 3: You attempted to create a loop phrase using waveform data less than 0.5 seconds in length.
- Action 3: Use waveform data that is at least 0.5 seconds long.
- Cause: You are attempting to load a file or disc in an incompatible format.
- Action: Use a file in a compatible format.
- Cause: Signal lock with the digital input source was interrupted.
- Action: Make sure that the digital-audio input cable is connected correctly and check whether the external digital-audio device has been turned off.
- Cause: There is a problem with the CD-R/RW disc or hard disk. Alternatively, the disc on the CD-R/RW drive is unreadable.
- Action 1: Confirm that the correct type of disc is placed in the CD-R/RW drive.
- Action 2: Use a new CD-R/RW disc.
- Action 3: Use the following procedure to initialize the hard disk.
- Cause 1: Active Sensing is on, and it has detected that no MIDI message transmissions have taken place for more than approximately 400 ms.
- Action 1: Check the external MIDI device connected to MIDI IN to make sure it is turned on, and that the settings are correct. Also, confirm that the MIDI cable has not been disconnected.
- Cause 2: Processing has been overloaded due to high volumes of MIDI messages received from the external MIDI device.
- Action 2: Reduce the amount of MIDI messages transmitted by the external MIDI device.
- Cause 1: You attempted to modify marker or scene data when none existed.
- Cause 2: You attempted to create an audio CD with no data in the tracks or songs, or you attempted to export a WAV or AIFF file.
- Action: First create data.
No File
- Cause 1: During a USB import operation, no file was copied from the PC to the USB folder.
- Action 1: Copy the file from the PC to the USB folder.
- Cause 2: The copied file is not of WAV or AIFF format.
- Action 2: Copy a file of WAV or AIFF format.
- Cause: The CD-R/RW disc already has data written to it.
- Action: Place a CD-R/RW disc with no data written to it (a blank disc) in the CD-R/RW drive.If using a CD-RW disc, you can erase the data on the disc in order to create a blank disc.
- Cause: The disc is not a CD-R/RW disc, so the data cannot be erased.
- Action: Use a CD-R/RW disc.
- Cause: The total number of sounds in the drum and bass patterns has exceeded 10,000.
- Action: Delete unneeded patterns.
- Cause: Since Song Protect is ON, the operation cannot be executed.
- Action: Turn Song Protect Off.
- Cause: You attempted to execute a track editing operation without specifying the track to which the operation will apply.
- Action: Specify the track, and then execute the editing operation.
- Cause: The data or files upon which the operation is to be performed have not yet been specified.
- Action: Select data or files and repeat the operation
- Cause: There is no CD-R/RW disc in the drive.
- Action: Place a CD-R/RW disc in the drive.
Drive Busy
- Cause: The data on the hard disk has become fragmented, causing delays in reading and writing data.
- Action 1: Reduce the number of tracks that are played back simultaneously. Use track bouncing (or other means) to combine tracks, or erase or cut data from tracks which you do not need to play back, and then try the playback again.
- Action 2: Reduce the number of tracks that are being recorded simultaneously.
- Action 3: If using the drum and bass patterns or loop phrases, press the Track button, causing the button's indicator to go out.
- # In cases of unfavorable disk access conditions, such as when track editing, punch-in recording, etc. is used to connect phrases (musical data) of several seconds.
- Cause: The BR-1600CD has used up all the events that can be handled by one song.
- Action: Perform the Song Optimize operation.
- Cause: Data has already been written to the CD-R/RW disc, and the data has been finalized.
- Action: Place a CD-R/RW disc that has not been finalized in the drive.
- Cause: Data could not be read from or written to the hard disk.
- Action: There is a possibility that the hard disk has been damaged. Shut down the BR-1600CD as instructed and send it for repair.
- Cause: There is insufficient free space on the hard disk.
- Action 1: Erase unneeded data.
- Action 2: Perform the Song Optimize operation.
- Cause: An error occurred while reading data from the hard disk.
- Action: The hard disk must be initialized.
- Cause: An error occurred while writing data to the hard disk.
- Action: The hard disk must be initialized. Also, the song data you had been attempting to save will be lost.
- Cause: During recovery of backup data located on multiple CD-R/RW discs, the disc of the requested number was not placed in the drive.
- Action: Place the disc with the requested number in the drive.
Lack of Events
- Cause: It is not possible to execute Undo or Redo if fewer than 200 events remain.
- Action: Perform the Song Optimize operation.
- Cause: The BR-1600CD has used up all the marker memory (100 markers) that can be handled by one song.
- Action: Delete unneeded markers.
- Cause: No target data or file has been selected yet.
- Action: Select the data before continuing.
- Cause: The operation you attempted cannot be done while the recorder is running (playing or recording).
- Action: Press [STOP] to stop playback or recording.
- Cause: All of the remaining memory was used up during the Sync Track recording process.
- Action: No further recording will be possible. Reduce the recording time and repeat the recording process.
- Cause 1: The song creation operation would result in the number of songs exceeding 999.
- Action 1: Erase unneeded songs and repeat the song creation process.
- Cause 2: The import operation would result in the number of songs exceeding 999.
- Action 2: Erase unneeded songs and repeat the song import operation.
- Cause: The names of files and folders on the current CD-R/RW disc are too long.
- Action: Add up the lengths of all file names and folder names, and then modify these names to reduce the total number of characters to 236 or less.
- Cause: You attempted to write more than 99 tracks to the audio CD being created.
- Action: Reduce the number of tracks you are writing to 99 or fewer tracks.
- Cause: A disc other than the required CD-R/RW disc is placed in the drive.
- Action: Place a CD-R/RW disc in the drive.
