..........................................................................................................

006

• When using the unit with a rack or stand recom-

mended by Roland, the rack or stand must be

carefully placed so it is level and sure to remain

stable. If not using a rack or stand, you still need

to make sure that any location you choose for

placing the unit provides a level surface that will

properly support the unit, and keep it from

wobbling.

..........................................................................................................

008c

• Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with

the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the

installation matches the input voltage specified on

the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors may

use a different polarity, or be designed for a

different voltage, so their use could result in

damage, malfunction, or electric shock.

..........................................................................................................

009

• Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord,

nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can

damage the cord, producing severed elements and

short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and shock

hazards!

..........................................................................................................

010

• This unit, either alone or in combination with an

amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be

capable of producing sound levels that could

cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for

a long period of time at a high volume level, or at

a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience

any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should

immediately stop using the unit, and consult an

audiologist.

..........................................................................................................

011

• Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material,

coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft

drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.

(Do not drop it!)

..........................................................................................................

015

• Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share

an outlet with an unreasonable number of other

devices. Be especially careful when using

extension cords—the total power used by all

devices you have connected to the extension

cord’s outlet must never exceed the power rating

(watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive

loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat

up and eventually melt through.

..........................................................................................................

IMPORTANT NOTES

291a

In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on p. 3 , please read and observe the following:

Power Supply

301

• Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any device

that will generate line noise (such as an electric motor or variable

lighting system).

302

• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of

consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.

307

• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to

all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to

speakers or other devices.

Placement

351

• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment

containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To

alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move

it farther away from the source of interference.

352a

• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do

not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

352b

• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such

as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise

could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while

conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should

relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance

from this unit, or switch them off.

355

• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet area,

such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.

Maintenance

401a

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one

that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn

dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent.

Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry

cloth.

402

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to

avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Handling CD-ROMs

801

• Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside (encoded

surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD-ROM discs may not be

read properly. Keep your discs clean using a commercially

available CD cleaner.

Additional Precautions

551

• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably

lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the

unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important

data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of

important data you have stored in the unit’s memory in another

MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer).

552

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of

data that was stored in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer)

once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability

concerning such loss of data.

553

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons,

sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and

connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

556

• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector

itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing

shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.

558a

• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume

at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you

do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially

when it is late at night).

559a

• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box

(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you

will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

924

• To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit

(should the plug be pulled out accidentally), and to avoid

applying undue stress to the AC adaptor jack, anchor the power

cord using the cord hook, as shown in the illustration.

927

• In some cases, depending on the environment in which the unit is

installed, the surface of the panel may sometimes feel rough and

grainy. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is

absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this,

connect the ground terminal (see figure) with an external ground.

When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending

on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the

connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or

an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information”

page.

Unsuitable places for connection

- Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)

- Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)

- Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in

the event of lightning)
