==============
KNOWN ISSUES
==============

The issues below apply to the following products and firmware versions. 

Firmware version 2.41 (or higher) for the 6416Y2
Firmware version 2.00 (or higher) for the 6416m

When using the m-control console remote control features with the 6416Y2 A-Net
Interface Card and 6416m Mic Input Module, the following intermittent issues can
exist. 

1.  LED Refresh on 6416m
After a scene recall from the Yamaha console, the 6416m Pad LED will not refresh
and show the current setting. If an MCS Mic Control Surface is connected to the
Pro64 network, the MCS will show the proper state. To re-sync the 6416m Pad LED,
perform any parameter change on the 6416m channel. This happens only
occasionally and only when you have 64 channels active across four 6416m units,
with all 6416m modules assigned to the same remote control group.


2.  6416Y2 Card Loses Sync With 6416m
If one or more network devices other than the 6416Y2 card are power cycled
causing the network to re-enumerate, remote control messages from the 6416Y2 can
be directed to the wrong 6416m, causing the message to be ignored. Power cycle
the Control Master device to re-sync the network. 


3.  6416Y2 Card and Sample Rate Changes
Remote control of some 6416m channels can be lost after a sample rate change
(from 48kHz to 96kHz and back). To regain control, power cycle the Control
Master.
