Open the appropriate drive/folder and copy
the required WAV files or directly edit the
WAV files using a waveform editor applica-
tion.
To access the Transport folder open the “AW1600-2”
drive.
To directly access WAV files on the AW1600 open the
“Song1” folder on the “AW1600-1” drive and the
“Song2” folder on the “AW1600-2” drive. These fold-
ers contain folders bearing the names of the recorded
songs (extension .AWS), and those folders further con-
tain folders labeled “Audio” that contain the actual
audio data. To backup a complete song to the com-
puter simply copy the folder bearing the name of the
song you want to backup to the computer.
Refer to “Song Folder Organization” on page 144 for
information on how the folders are organized.

bar and remove the corresponding two “USB mass
storage devices”.
In the case of Mac OSX:
Drag the “AW1600-1” and “AW1600-2” icons from
the desktop to the trash.
If the windows shown above do not appear, choose to display
the “AW1600-1” and “AW1600-2” drives from the Windows
Start
My Computer menu.
NOTE
If the icons are not displayed properly, use the Disk Utility to
temporarily un-mount the appropriate volume, and then
mount it again.
NOTE
•Verification and repair of the internal hard disk can be carried
out from the computer. From a Windows computer enter the
“chkdsk” command at the command prompt, or from a Macin-
tosh computer running OS X use the Disk Utility First Aid
function.
HINT
•For 24-bit songs, the audio data contained in the “Audio” fold-
ers is stored in 32-bit WAV format. If your waveform editor
application cannot handle 32-bit data, first export the WAV
file(s) to the “Transport” folder. WAV files imported or exported
via the “Transport” folder are automatically converted to 24-bit
format that can be edited using most waveform editor soft-
ware.
Do not change the names of any folders/files other than those
in the Transport folder. Any folder/file names that have been
added or changed outside the Transport folder from the com-
puter will be automatically deleted. Be especially careful not
to change a song folder or song file name.
Files larger than 4 GB cannot be copied.
