1 AC ADAPTOR IN jack
Connect an AC power adaptor here (refer to the "Getting
Started" manual included in the package).
2 S/PDIF IN/OUT jack (Digital input/output jack)
These coaxial jacks (RCA pin connectors) input and out-
put S/PDIF format (IEC-60958) digital audio signals. By
plugging the coaxial (RCA-pin) cable to this jack, you can
connect the MR816 CSX/MR816 X an external digital
audio device such a master recorder.
3 OPTICAL IN/OUT jack (Digital input/output jack)
These jacks input and output S/PDIF or ADAT digital audio
signals. By plugging the optical-fiber cable to this jack,
you can connect the MR816 CSX/MR816 X an external
digital audio device such as a hard disk recorder, MD
player or CD player. Selection of S/PDIF or ADAT can be
set from the MR Editor (page 33) or the Control Panel of
the Yamaha FW Driver (page 30).
4 IEEE1394 jacks 1 and 2
These 6-pin IEEE1394 (S400) standard jacks enable con-
nection of an IEEE1394-compatible computer and another
MR816 CSX/MR816 X. The operation is identical regard-
less of which jack is used (1 or 2). You can use one of
them to connect a computer, and the other jack for
another MR816 CSX/MR816 X (or a device compatible
with the Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver) for daisy-chain
connection. If your computer has a 4-pin IEEE1394 jack,
use a 4-pin to 6-pin type IEEE1394 cable that meets the
S400 specifications.
CAUTION
• Be sure to connect the IEEE1394 cable plug to the
IEEE1394 jack with the correct orientation.
NOTE
· Use an IEEE1394 cable that meets the S400 standard. Stein-
berg/Yamaha recommends that you use an IEEE1394 cable
with a length of 4.5 meters or less.
· Connect your IEEE1394 cables so that they do not create a
loop. For information about loop connections, refer to page 47.

5 WCLK IN/OUT jack (Word Clock in/out jack)
These are BNC jacks used to input and output word clock
signals to and from to an external device.
6 OUTPUT jacks 1 – 8 (Analog output jacks 1 – 8)
These are mono output jacks (TRS phone type) that sup-
port both balanced and unbalanced signals. The nominal
signal level is +4dBu.
7 MIC/LINE INPUT jacks 3 – 8 (Analog input jacks 3 – 8)
These mono channel input jacks (XLR/TRS phone) that
support both balanced and unbalanced signals are used
to connect microphones or musical instruments. The nom-
inal signal level is -60dBu – +10dBu. Connector wiring is
as shown in the (2) section on page 4.
8 INSERT I/O jacks 1 and 2
These phone-type unbalanced I/O jacks can be used to
connect external effect units or another device for pro-
cessing the audio signals already input to the
MR816 CSX/MR816 X via the MIC/LINE/HI-Z jack (analog
input jack 1) and MIC/LINE jack (analog input jack 2)
respectively. In the internal circuitry, these jacks are posi-
tioned immediately before the A/D converters (included in
the MR816 CSX/MR816 X). The audio signal input via the
MIC/LINE/HI-Z jack will be transferred to the effect unit or
other device connected to INSERT I/O jack 1 then
returned to INSERT I/O jack 1. Likewise, the audio signal
input via the MIC/LINE jack will be transferred to the effect
unit or other device connected to INSERT I/O jack 2 then
returned to INSERT I/O jack 2.
