· Try increasing the latency value of the Yamaha Steinberg FW
Driver.
· (For Windows) Refer to "Hints when using audio data (Win-
dows)" on page 45.
■ Incorrect pitch.
Settings on the MR816 CSX/MR816 X and connections
· Confirm whether or not the master device of the word clock
works in a stable way.
· Make sure to set the Sample Rate of the MR816 CSX/
MR816 X to the same value as that of the synchronized exter-
nal audio device.
■ Word Clock Source lamps and Sample
Rate lamps flash in order.
Settings on the MR816 CSX/MR816 X and connections
· When the lamps flash, the MR816 CSX/MR816 X may not be
recognized by the connected computer. Turn off then on of
the power of the corresponding MR816 CSX/MR816 X, or dis-
connect the IEEE1394 cable from the MR816 CSX/MR816 X
then connect again.
· When multiple MR816 CSX/MR816 Xs (or devices compatible
with the Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver) are daisy-chain con-
nected, remember that up to three devices can be connected
if the Sample Rate is set to 44.1kHz/48kHz and up to two
devices can be connected if the Sample Rate is set to
88.2kHz/96kHz. If more devices than this limit are connected,
remove unnecessary device(s) from the daisy-chain connec-
tion.
· Confirm whether or not an audio device which is not compati-
ble with the Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver has been con-
nected. If so, remove the corresponding device from the
daisy-chain connection.
· (For Windows) Confirm whether or not the Yamaha n Driver,
Yamaha AI Driver or mLAN Driver/mLAN Tools is installed to
the computer. If so, disable these drivers, turn the power to
the corresponding device off then on again or disconnect the
corresponding device from the computer then connect again.
■ The device name cannot be recognized
from the DAW software.
■ Audio and MIDI signals fail to transfer
between computer and the MR816 CSX/
MR816 X.
Connection with a computer
· Confirm the status of the Word Clock Source lamps and Sam-
ple Rate lamps. If they flash in order, refer to "Word Clock
Source lamps and Sample Rate lamps flash in order."
· Make sure that the IEEE1394 cable is connected properly,
and that the power to the MR816 CSX/MR816 X has been
turned on. Disconnect the IEEE1394 cable once, then insert it
again.
· There may be a loop connection. Check the cabling to make
sure that none of the devices are connected in a loop.

IEEE1394-equipped device
· If any IEEE1394 devices which are not compatible with
Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver are connected directly to a
computer, disconnect them from the computer and make
sure to connect only a device which is compatible with the
Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver.
· There may be multiple IEEE1394 interfaces installed on the
computer and each of the multiple IEEE1394 devices may be
connected to different interfaces. When using multiple
devices compatible with the Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver
and connecting them to the computer peer-to-peer individu-
ally (i.e., star-connection), make sure to connect them all to
the jacks of a single interface.
Settings on a computer
· Confirm whether or not "TOOLS for MR" has been installed
correctly.
· (For Windows XP) "Add New Hardware Wizard" may not be
completed correctly. If you have canceled it, restart the com-
puter so that "Add New Hardware Wizard" appears.
· Restart the computer.
· (Macintosh) If the new IEEE1394 interface (PC card, etc.) is
connected to the computer (with the power turned on), restart
the computer. The IEEE1394 device compatible with the
Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver will be recognized by the com-
puter after restarting.
■ Unable to transfer MIDI data or Program
Changes.
(When using a device which is compatible with the
Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver and features MIDI ports)
Settings on the device, external device and computer
· Confirm whether or not the appropriate MIDI port is selected
in the application software (DAW, etc.).
· Make sure the transmission and receive channels match
between both the source device and destination device
including the DAW software.
· Confirm whether or not the MIDI settings have been properly
made in the connected devices including the DAW.
· Confirm whether the power of all connected devices has
been are turned on or not.
■ Cannot use other connected IEEE1394
devices correctly.
· Disconnect the IEEE1394 device compatible with the Yamaha
Steinberg FW Driver from the computer.
■ The built-in digital reverb (REV-X) is not
applied to the sound.
Settings on the MR816 CSX/MR816 X
· Confirm whether or not the REV-X send level for each input
channel is appropriately set.
· Confirm whether or not the REV-X return level for the entire
sound is appropriately set. A setting of 0 produces no effect.
· Confirm whether or not the Reverb Time is appropriately set.
If this value is too short, it may be hard to hear the reverb
effect.
■ The Link functions for Cubase do not
work.
Connection with a computer
· Make sure to properly connect the MR816 CSX/MR816 X to a
computer properly.

· Make sure to install "TOOLS for MR" properly.
· Make sure to use a version of Cubase (page 9) that is com-
patible with the Link functions. The Link function for Cubase
will not work if you use a version of Cubase earlier than
Cubase 4.1, such as Cubase SX3.
