Connecting the AC adaptor
When connecting the included AC adaptor (PA-300), you
must first connect it to the DC IN jack of the AW16G,
and then to the AC wall outlet. After connecting the AC
adaptor to the AW16G, wrap the cable around the hook
as shown in the diagram. This will prevent the cable from
being accidentally pulled out, causing the AW16G to
unexpectedly lose power.
Turning the power on/off
You must use the following procedure to switch the
power of the AW16G between ON and STANDBY. If you
fail to follow this procedure, the internal hard disk or
your external monitor system may be damaged.
Turning the power on
In a system that includes the AW16G, turn the power of
each device on in the following order.
1 External devices such as audio sources and
effect processors connected to the input/out-
put jacks of the AW16G
B The AW16G itself
C The monitor system connected to the
AW16G’s output jacks
Before you turn on the power, make sure that the AC
adaptor is firmly connected to the AW16G and to the AC
outlet. If the power is disconnected while the AW16G is
being used, the AW16G itself or the hard disk may be
damaged.
When you turn on the power of the AW16G, an opening
screen will appear, and then the following screen will
appear.
Turning the power off (shut down)
In a system that includes the AW16G, turn the power of
each device off in the following order.
1 The monitor system connected to the
AW16G’s output jacks
B The AW16G itself
C External devices such as audio sources and
effect processors connected to the input/out-
put jacks of the AW16G
When turning off the power of the AW16G, you must
perform the following “shut-down” procedure.
1
In the work navigate section located in the
upper left of the top panel, press the [SONG]
key several times to access the following
SHUTDOWN page.
2
Press the [ENTER] key located in the middle
right of the top panel.
A popup window will ask you whether you want to
save the current song.
3
Using the CURSOR [ ]/[ ] keys located in
the upper right of the top panel, move the
cursor (the blinking area in the screen) to the
YES button if you want to save the current
song, or to the NO button if you do not want
to save it. Then press the [ENTER] key.
4
When the “Now safe to turn off...” message
appears, turn off the [POWER] switch located
on the rear panel.
If you turn off the power of the AW16G without perform-
ing the above shutdown procedure, not only will any
unsaved changes be lost, but you also risk damaging the
data on the hard disk, and damaging or drastically short-
ening the lifespan of the hard disk itself and the internal
CD-RW drive. Please use caution.
Tip!
Tip!
A small amount of electrical current is flowing even when
the power is in STANDBY mode. If you will not be using
the AW16G for an extended period of time, be sure to
disconnect the AC adaptor from your AC outlet.
