Yamaha my16-cii User Manual

Note: When Conductor Priority is set to a value other than “Auto”, the value specified via the 
CobraNet Manager takes priority. 
 
Note: The MY16-C conductor priority is automatically set to the same values as the MY16-CII 
according to the three available clock modes, but the MY16-C conductor priority setting cannot be 
changed manually. 
 
Conductor Priority Should Be Set Manually When... 
With some types of connection, word clock loops may occur when Conductor Priority is set to 
“Auto” resulting in network instability. In such cases set conductor priority to prevent the 
occurrence of loops. 
 
Figure 28: Conductor Priority needs to be set manually 
 
In this example Conductor Priority is set to “Auto” so the MY16-CII installed in the DME64N 
becomes a conductor and a word clock loop is created. To rectify this problem it is necessary to 
either lower the conductor priority of the MY16-CII installed in the DME64 or raise the conductor 
priority of the MY16-CII installed in the PM5D, thus preventing the MY16-CII installed in the 
DME64N from functioning as conductor.
