The Controls and Connectors
! Multi Function Encoder Knobs 1 and 2
Rotating and pressing these knobs lets you select and
adjust various parameters, such as output level from the
headphone jack, master volume, and reverb related
parameters. Rotating each of these knobs adjusts the
parameter value while pressing the knobs changes the
assigned functions. The lamps around each knob indicate
the current value of the currently edited parameter.
The ASSIGN lamps (8) indicate the current function
assigned to the Multi Function Encoder knobs
ASSIGN lamp Knob 1
Adjusts the volume
level output from
PHONES the headphone jack
( ) 1 on the front
panel.
Adjusts the master
volume level output
MASTER from the OUTPUT 1

NOTE
· When the MORPH lamp is lit, select the input channel to be
edited by pressing the [QUICK CONNECT] button. For details,
see page 4.
· Pressing either of the encoder knobs will automatically change
the function assignment.
· When the MORPH lamp is turned on, each of the end lamps
around the Multi Function Encoder knob 2 (right side) will not
light even if you turn the Knob 2 all the way toward the left or
right. This is normal.
@ Headphone jacks (
) 1 and 2
These two 1/4" TRS phone output jacks are used for con-
necting headphones. The levels of these jacks can be
adjusted independently by using the Multi Function
!
Encoder knobs ( ). By setting the related parameters in
Cubase or the MR Editor, you can set up custom monitor
mixes for the musicians you're recording. For details, refer
to pages 22 and 39.
# STANDBY/ON switch
This switch sets the power to ON or STANDBY.
CAUTION
• Note that a small amount of current continues to flow while

Operation Manual
TIP
Word Clock
In a typical digital audio system, the signal referred to
as "word clock" is used to synchronize the process tim-
ing of audio signals between the multiple devices.
When transferring audio data between the master
recorder and the MR816 CSX/MR816 X via the S/PDIF
jacks or OPTICAL jacks, the MR816 CSX/MR816 X will
handle the audio data according to the word clock
transmitted from the master recorder. If the word clock is
not transferred correctly, click noise may occur or
recording may not be successful. Normally, one device
transmits a reference word clock signal, and the other
devices receive this word clock signal and synchronize
to it. The transmitting device is called the "word clock
master" and the receiving devices are called "word
clock slaves." On the MR816 CSX/MR816 X, the word
clock can be transferred via either the WCLK (Word
Clock) jack, the S/PDIF jack or the OPTICAL jack.
Because some digital equipment can operate only as
the word clock master or slave, you may need to set the
word clock source on the MR816 CSX/MR816 X. If such
a device is connected to the MR816 CSX, make sure to
set the Word Clock Source parameter on the Control
Panel of Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver or the MR Editor
on the computer.
When using the MR816 CSX/MR816 X as the word clock
master, set the Word Clock Source parameter to
"INTERNAL." When using the MR816 CSX/MR816 X as
the word clock slave, set the Word Clock Source param-
eter to "ADAT" or "S/PDIF" or "WCLK In" then set the
Sample Rate to the same value as that of the master
device.
