AW4416 Operating Software Download You can download the latest version of the AW4416 Operating System software. The following procedure refers to the CD-R/RW drive. You can use the same procedure for other types of SCSI device. The files you will download are identical to those included in the update CD-ROM distributed by Yamaha. However, if you download the files, you need to write them to a CD-R. If you are not confident about this procedure, we recommend you update the system using the distributed CD-ROM. Important! • Please update the operating system responsibly. Be sure to back up your important data before proceeding. • If you proceed incorrectly or the power goes down during the update operation, malfunction to the unit and possibly damage or loss of recorded data may result. • Yamaha is not responsible for restoring or repairing any such damaged or lost data. Outline of update process Note: Make sure that you use a SCSI device that is compatible with the AW4416. Otherwise, you will not be able to update the system correctly. The devices are listed on "Users" page. Caution! - When updating by MO disk. • Updating cannot be done with an MO disk that is 640MB or larger. Please use a 230MB or 540MB MO disk. • The software should be written to disc after "FAT16" formatting. Please see Chapter 16 "Disk utilities" of the Operation Guide. Downloading the files and creating an updated OS CD-R (MO disk, hard disk) 1. Downloading the system file archive The posted archives are compressed in two different formats (.sit and .zip). Select one suitable for your computer system. Operating system updater to V2.12 (for AW4416A only) awos212 .sit (1.11MB) awos212.zip (1.11MB) * You can download the compressed archive specified by the link at the end of this manual. 2. Decompressing the archive Create a new folder to store the decompressed files and name it (e.g.,"aw_os"). Then, decompress the seven files into the folder. 1. Decompress the archive using the appropriate decompression software. 2. Place the decompressed files into the "aw_os" folder. No files other than these seven should appear in this folder. 3. Since the original compressed files will not needed after this step, please delete them after decompressing successfully. Caution! - When updating by External Hard Disk. • Do not leave the folder or the original compressed file on the hard disk after decompressing the archive. 3. Creating an updated OS CD-R 1. Select "ISO9660 (MS-DOS)" as a writing format. 2. Copy the seven individual decompressed files to the root of the CD-R(W). Do not copy the folder or the original compressed file. 3. Write at single speed (x1) to prevent possible errors. Caution! - When updating by MO Disk. • Please make sure to format the MO disk as FAT16. • Regarding formatting, refer to Chapter 16 "Disc Utilities"of the Operation Manual. 4. Verifying the updated OS CD-R 1. Open the CD-R. 2. Make sure that the following seven files appear and are correctly named. • AW4416M.HDR • AW4416M0.DAT • AW4416R.HDR • AW4416R0.DAT • AW4416R1.DAT • AW4416R2.DAT • AW4416R3.DAT Also, make sure that the file size matches the following: By "File/Property" (Windows) or "Command + I" (Macintosh) <V2.12> • AW4416M.HDR 272 bytes • AW4416M0.DAT 1.51M bytes • AW4416R.HDR 272 bytes • AW4416R0.DAT 256K bytes • AW4416R1.DAT 256K bytes • AW4416R2.DAT 256K bytes • AW4416R3.DAT 136K bytes 3. If the file names or sizes are different, the updated CD-R was created incorrectly. Do not use such a CD-R to update the system software. Otherwise, you may damage the unit. You will be charged for repair of such damage. 4. If the file names and sizes are the same as shown in the screen above, the updated OS CD-ROM has been created correctly. Note: Never play this CD-R on a CD player. Its loud volume level could damage your stereo system.

			Procedure for updating the AW4416 operating system • In order to perform the update procedure, you will need an internal or external CD-RW drive (or SCSI devices) that has been confirmed by Yamaha to work with the AW4416. • If your AW4416 is not equipped with a CD-RW drive compatible with the AW4416, or in case you experience difficulty with the updating procedure, then please contact the store from which you purchased the AW4416, or a Yamaha service center. There may be a charge for upgrading the AW4416. Cautions for the update procedure • Before you begin the procedure, make sure that the plug of the power cable has not become loose, and that the power will not be disconnected accidentally. • Do not perform the update procedure if there is a possibility that the power may fail due to a lightning strike or other reason. • Never turn off the power until the system update procedure has been completed.

			Update procedure [Preparations] • Be sure to make a backup of any important data on the internal hard disk. • Make sure that the SCSI ID of the internal/external hard CD-R/RW drive (or SCSI devices) is a setting other than "6" (which is the ID of the AW4416 itself). • YAMAHA recommend to make sure Backup/Restore or WAV Import will be done correctly by using this CD-R/RW (or SCSI devices). [Using the internal CD-RW drive] 1. Turn on the power of the AW4416. 2. Access the CD PLAY screen, and insert the update CD-ROM into the CD-RW drive. 3. Access the SONG screen Shut Down page, shut down the AW4416, and then turn off the power. 4. Hold down both the [HOME] key and the [AUX 1] key of the AW4416, and turn on the power. At this time, do not release these two keys until the display indicates "OS Update" 5. In approximately two minutes, the display will show a message asking for your consent. In this message, "Current OS Version *.** " indicates the currently installed OS version number, and "File OS Version *.** " indicates the update version number that is about to be installed. 6. After verifying the version number, press the [ENTER] key. The level meters in the level meter/counter area will light in succession from track 1. • Approximately five minutes will be required from when you press the [ENTER] key until the operating system update begins. • The interval between the time when one meter lights until the next meter lights is not a fixed interval. • Never turn off the power until the track 16 meter is lit! 7. When all level meters for tracks 1-16 are lit, turn off the power of the AW4416. When all sixteen level meters are lit, the system update has been completed. 8. Hold down the [UTILITY] key, and turn on the power of the AW4416. At start-up, the new version number "Mixer CPU version: 1.xx"(the upper line of the two-line display) will appear. After checking the version number, verify that the AW4416 operates correctly. [Using an external CD-RW drive or SCSI devices] 1. With the power of the AW4416 and the external drive turned off, connect the SCSI cable. 2. Insert the update CD-ROM into the external CD-RW drive. (In case of SCSI device, firstly turn SCSI device on.) 3. Follow steps 3-8 of [Using the internal CD-RW drive]. 4. Turn off the power of the external CD-RW drive, and disconnect the SCSI cable. [Error messages] If one of the following error messages appears during the system update procedure, please turn off the power. "OS File Not Found!Turn the system off." • Make sure that the OS update CD-ROM is inserted in the drive and the update disc is created correctly. • It is possible that the SCSI drive connected to the AW4416 has not been recognized. • Make sure that the power is on for all SCSI drives. • Make sure that the SCSI ID for all SCSI drives is set correctly. • Make sure that the configuration and connections of the SCSI cables are appropriate. • Make sure that termination is set appropriately for the last drive in the SCSI chain. • It is possible that there is a problem with the CD-ROM inserted in the drive. Check whether the surface of the disc is scratched or dusty. "Internal Error!" • Try repeating the update procedure several times. If this message is displayed repeatedly, it may be necessary to service the hardware. Yamaha will perform the system update for a fee. Please contact a nearby Yamaha dealer or service center.
