Move the cursor to the OK button if you
want to execute the restore operation (or to
the CANCEL button if you decide not to
restore), and press the [ENTER] key.
The current song will be saved automatically, and the
restore operation will begin.
A popup window will indicate the progress of the
restore operation. When the operation is finished, you
will return to step 3.
If the backup occupied more than one volume of CD-
R/RW media, a message of “Exchange Next Media
#XXX” (where XXX is a number) will be displayed
during the restore process. Exchange the CD-R/RW
media for the media of the corresponding number.
Then move the cursor to the OK button and press the
[ENTER] key.
You can back up an AW1600 song in a format that is compatible with the other AW-series
(AW4416/AW2816/AW2400/AW16G). Conversely, a song that was backed up by the other AW-
series can be restored into the AW1600.
If you turn on the AS AW2816 button in the BACKUP
page of the CD screen, the data will be saved in the
AW2816 backup file format.
An AW2816 backup file can be restored into the other
AW-series (version 2.0 or later for AW4416).
For the procedure, refer to “Backing up songs and sample
libraries,” earlier in this manual.
1
Insert CD-R/RW media containing the other
AW-series song backup into the AW1600.
2
In the Work Navigate section, press the [CD]
key.
The CD screen will appear.
3
Repeatedly press the [CD] key or hold down
the [CD] key and use the CURSOR [ ]/[ ]
keys to access the RESTORE page.
4
Make sure that the cursor is located at the
READ CD INFO button, and press the
[ENTER] key.
Data will be read from the inserted CD-R/RW media.
When the data has been read, a screen like the follow-
ing will appear.
• When a song or sample library with the same name already
exists, the name of the restored song or sample library will
automatically be changed. For example, if “001_Song”
already exists, the song name will be altered as in:
“001_Song0”, “001_Song1” … etc.
NOTE
Exchanging Song Data With Other AW-series Audio Workstations
• Only the audio data recorded in a song can be exchanged with the other AW-series. Mix
parameters, libraries, and system data cannot be backed-up/restored in this way.
NOTE
■ Backing up an AW1600 song in a format
compatible with the other AW-series
• Backup in the AW2816 backup file format is limited to one song at
a time.
• When you perform a backup in the AW2816 backup file format,
data other than the audio tracks will not be backed up. All virtual
tracks of tracks 1–16 will be backed up. For the stereo track, only
the current track will be backed up. 24-bit songs are not compati-
ble.
• Depending on the data size, some songs can’t be saved as
AW2816 backup files. If this problem occurs use the Optimize
function to reduce the data size.
