• 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.
