• There may be a loop connection. Check the cabling to
make sure that none of the devices are connected in a
loop.
• Confirm whether or not four or more devices compatible
with the Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver are connected.
Up to three devices compatible with the Yamaha Steinberg
FW Driver can be used simultaneously when the Sample
Rate is set to 44.1 kHz/48 kHz. Up to two devices can be
connected when the Sample Rate is set to 88.2 kHz or 96
kHz. In this case, make sure to turn the power of the
unused devices to off, or disconnect the IEEE1394 cable
from the computer.
• Confirm whether or not other IEEE1394 devices are con-
nected to the computer.
The limit of the IEEE1394 BUS bandwidth may have been
exceeded. Make sure to turn the power of the unused
devices to off, or disconnect the IEEE1394 cable from the
computer.
• 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 individ-
ually (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 “Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver” has
been installed correctly.
• (For Windows XP) “Add New Hardware Wizard” may not be
completed correctly. If you have canceled it, restart the
computer so that “Add New Hardware Wizard” appears.
• Restart the computer.
• (Mac) If the new IEEE1394 interface (PC card, etc.) is con-
nected 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
computer after restarting.
• (Windows) Confirm whether or not “AI Driver (n Driver)” or
“mLAN Driver/mLAN Tools” has been installed in the com-
puter. Turn the driver to disable (off).
■ 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 prop-
erly 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.
NOTE
• For details of the issues, also refer to the “Troubleshooting”
section in the owner’s manual of the device compatible with
the Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver.
