That seems to indicate that there's a software or firmware problem.
Given the age of the product - 5 years is an eternity in this
business, you might be out of luck. I checked the Akai web site for
any signs of support for the DR16 and didn't see any. I was thinking
that there might be a way to reload the operating system software, but
I couldn't find it.

If the BAD CODE message comes up immediately after you apply power,
it's quite possible that there's a problem with firmware on an EPROM
which will have to be replaced. I'd suggest checking Akai support
in your country at http://www.akaipro.com/int/support/index.html

AKAI has a us tech support phone number so I bet they could tell him
what to do. He sounds like he may be from another country but I am sure
they have some place to call there. The products themselves don't have
great manuals.

Geez, how can you guys find this stuff? Certainly not by searching the
Akai web site. I'm in awe. I hope the original poster appreciates your
effort.

I started in the same place, clicked on "Archive products" where I
expected to find the DR16, and got a much shorter list than you see
when you click on "Download Centre." I guess you just need more
patience than I have with many web sites.
