Important points you must observe
— Operation Guide 17
❒ Turning the power off
To turn off the power of a system that includes the AW4416, you must turn off the
power switches in the following order.
1 The monitor system connected to the output jacks of the AW4416
B The AW4416 itself
C Storage devices connected to the AW4416’s SCSI connector, and external
sound sources connected to the input/output jacks
Before turning off the power of the AW4416 itself, you must perform the follow-
ing shut-down procedure.
❍ Shut-down operation
1. In the WORK NAVIGATE section located in the upper left of the
AW4416’s top panel, press the [SONG] key.
2. Below the display, press the [F5] (Shut Down) key.
3. The CURRENT SONG STATUS screen will appear, allowing you to check
the content of the last-saved song.
The data for the current song (date, size, quantization bits, protect) shown here in
the song list is the data for when the song was last saved. When you perform the
following Save procedure and press the [ENTER] key, it will be overwritten by the
new data.
Move the cursor to the EXECUTE button and press the [ENTER] key.
A message will ask you whether you wish to save the current song.
4. Use the CURSOR [ ]/[ ]/[ ]/[ ] keys in the center right of the top
panel to move the cursor (the blinking rectangle) to the OK button, and
press the [ENTER] key located immediately below.
5. 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 AW4416 without performing the shut-down
procedure described at the above, the audio data on the hard disk may be lost.
• Never turn off the power while the access indicator in the level meter/counter
is lit, since this may damage the hard disk itself.
• If lightning is occurring nearby, disconnect the power cable from the AC out-
let. The AW4416 can be damaged by lightning.
