Importing a WAV/AIFF file
You can import an audio file (WAV/AIFF) from a CD-
ROM or CD-R/RW disc inserted in the CD-R/RW drive
or from the internal hard disk.
Before doing this, the following preparations are necessary.
● When importing from the CD-R/RW drive
Insert a CD-ROM or CD-R/RW disc containing audio
files into the CD-R/RW drive.
● When importing from the internal hard disk
Copy audio files from a computer into a folder named
“WAV_AIFF” immediately under the root directory (top
level folder) of the internal hard disk.
The files must have the extension “.WAV” (for WAV files)
or “.AIF” (for AIFF files).
NOTE
•To copy audio files to the internal hard disk, the optional
UIB-02 card is necessary. For information on using the
option card, see page 183.
• Any subfolders in the WAV_AIFF folder are not recognized
by the MRS-1608.
• The following procedure will not allow you to first listen to
the audio files. Confirm file content and file name before
you start the procedure.
1. Refer to steps 1 – 6 of “Basic phrase
loading steps” to select “WAV/AIFF” as
import source. Then press the [ENTER] key.
The indication “IMPORT CD-ROM” appears on the
display. You can now select the source device.
2. Use the cursor left/right keys to select the
source device: “CD-ROM” (CD-R/RW drive)
or “IntHDD” (internal hard disk), and press
the [ENTER] key.
The unit searches for WAV/AIFF files on the specified
device. When files are found, their names are listed on the
display.

When accessing a disc in the CD-R/RW drive which has
