Importing Audio Data/Wav Files; Importing From The Cd-Rw Drive - Yamaha AW2400 Owner's Manual

This section explains how to load (import) audio data or WAV files from the CD-RW drive or from
the desired track of a different song.

Importing from the CD-RW drive

CD audio data (CD-DA) or a WAV file from a CD-ROM
or CD-R can be imported (loaded) into an AW2400 audio
track. After being imported, this data can be handled in the
same way as any recorded audio track.

Call the UTILITY screen Preference page by
either pressing the Work Navigate section
[UTILITY] key as many times as necessary,
or by pressing the [F2] key after pressing
the [UTILITY] key.
Immediately after the AW2400 is powered-on, it will
be set to prohibit digital recording from an external
source or importing from a CD. Before you can
import, you will need to disable this prohibition in the
UTILITY screen Preference page.

Move the cursor to the CD/DAT DIGITAL
REC button, and press the [ENTER] key.
A message will ask you to confirm that you will

and if you accept these terms, move the
cursor to the OK button and press the
[ENTER] key.
The button display will change from DISABLE to
ENABLE, and digital recording and importing from a
CD will be enabled.

• The CD/DAT DIGITAL REC button will return to the DISABLE
setting each time you turn on the power.
