Software bugs in some versions. recommendations from Yamaha AW4416 software bugs in some versions
Yamaha has recently discovered a couple of software bugs in our latest AW4416 Operating System, and I fear that some of your customers may have received update software in the mail. Please read the following announcement from Wayne Hrabak, Marketing Manager for Pro Audio:
As a result of several bugs found in the new Version 1.2 software, we have stopped shipping CD-ROMs out to registered users. The main problem centers on playing back music originally recorded on a previous software version. If the user attempts using the jog/shuttle wheel while playing back, or activates fast forward or rewind, the sound stops along with all other functions. The playback button may remain blinking. After 20 seconds to 2 minutes, playback restarts, as do the other functions. The danger here is that, if the user turns the unit off while it’s in this frozen state, all data will be lost.
YCJ intends to leave 1.2 posted on the Web, primarily for those users needing .WAV export, with a caution regarding the above.
Therefore, for now, we are recommending that users stick with Version 1.1 until the bugs are fixed. We’ll probably be issuing a Version 1.21 at that time. They’re shooting for mid-February.
Please make your technical support staff aware of this in case any of your customers have a problem. Also please ask them to tell the customers NOT to turn the unit off when if it should ever ‘lock up’ with this software, or they will lose any data that they have been working on during that session

Offer applies only to single-receipt qualifying purchases. Select manufacturers may require that only the manufacturer’s products qualify towards the minimum purchase amount needed to be eligible for promotional financing. Otherwise, an invoice that meets the minimum purchase amount and contains at least one qualifying manufacturer product is eligible for promotional financing. No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
