IMPORTANT NOTES

291b

In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on pages p.

2 and p. 5, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply

301

• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being

used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter

(such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air

conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in

which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may

cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it

is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power

supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.

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.

308

• Although the LEDs are switched off when the POWER switch is

switched off, this does not mean that the unit has been

completely disconnected from the source of power. If you need to

turn off the power completely, first turn off the POWER switch,

then unplug the power cord from the power outlet. For this

reason, the outlet into which you choose to connect the power

cord’s plug should be one that is within easy reach.

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.

354a

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices

that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise

subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or

discolor the unit.

355b

• When moved from one location to another where the temper-

ature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (conden-

sation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may

result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore,

before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several

hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

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.

Repairs and Data

452

• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s memory may

be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. To avoid complete loss of

your data should it be deleted, be sure to copy important

recordings to an optional removable hard disk (DV-HD Series) as

a backup. During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of

data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to

memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be

possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability

concerning such loss of data.

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. Copy important recordings to an optional removable hard

disk (DV-HD Series).

552

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

data that was stored on a hard disk 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.

557

• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal

operation.

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.

562

• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using some

other make of connection cable, please note the following precau-

tions.

• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables

that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use

of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low,

or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications,

contact the manufacturer of the cable.

565

• Due to the structural design of this instrument, small pets or

other animals could end up getting trapped inside it. If such a

situation is encountered, you must immediately switch off the

power and disconnect the power cord from the outlet. You

should then consult with the retailer from whom the instrument

was purchased, or contact the nearest Roland Service Center.

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.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Handling Hard Disks

Important Performance and Image Data

811

• Once a hard disk fails to function normally, all data that has been

stored on it could be destroyed.

All hard disks eventually wear out.

We recommend that you

consider the hard disk not as a permanent storage site, but as a

place to store data temporarily. We also recommend that you

back up important performance and image data that cannot be

recorded again onto the external media that is supported by your

device. For instructions on how to make such backups, refer to

the owner’s manual for your device.

Note that Roland assumes no liability whatsoever, including

monetary compensation, for the loss of any recorded content in

the event of the malfunction of, or physical damage to the hard

disk, or for any direct or incidental damages resulting from the

loss of such data.

Precautions Regarding Setup and Use

812

• Certain hard disk setup procedures and usage conditions may

result in the corruption of recorded data, malfunctioning, or

physical damage to the disk, so be sure to observe the following

precautions.

• Do not subject the hard disk to vibration or shock, especially

while the unit is in operation.

• Do not set up the unit in any location where it may be affected

by vibration from external sources, or on any surface that is

not stable and level.

• If the device includes a cooling fan, ensure that the fan and

the side panel air vents remain unobstructed.

• Do not leave the unit in any environment subject to temper-

ature extremes; for example, in a closed automobile in

summer or outdoors during winter.

• Do not use the unit in conditions of high temperature and

humidity or in any location subject to rapid temperature

changes.

• Do not unplug the power cord or switch off any circuit

breakers in the circuit to which the unit is connected while the

power is turned on.

• Do not move the unit while the power is turned on or

immediately after turning off the power. When transporting

the unit, first turn off the power and confirm that the display

screen has gone off, disconnect the power plug, then wait at

least two minutes before moving the device.

Emergency Procedures

813

* The following procedures are to be used as emergency measures

only, and are not recommended for normal operation.

• If the device fails to respond to operational commands or does

not complete operations, turn off the power. If the power does

not shut off following normal shutdown procedures, disconnect

the power plug.

If the unit does not operate normally when the power is turned

on again, it may mean that the hard disk has been damaged. In

such instances, consult your dealer or the nearest Roland Service

Center. Note, however, that it may not be possible to recover any

data from the hard disk once it has been lost.

If your device features drive check capabilities, use the drive

check function to regularly confirm that there are no problems,

even when the device is operating normally.

For more detailed information on the shutdown and drive check

procedures, refer to the Owner’s Manual.

Copyright

851

• Unauthorized recording, distribution, sale, lending, public

performance, broadcasting, or the like, in whole or in part, of a

work (musical composition, video, broadcast, public perfor-

mance, or the like) whose copyright is held by a third party is

prohibited by law.

853

• Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe on a

copyright held by a third party. We assume no responsibility

whatsoever with regard to any infringements of third-party

copyrights arising through your use of this unit.

852a revised

• When exchanging video signals between the PR-50 and external

devices via a digital connection, you can record without the

limitations imposed by CGMS (Copy Generation Management

System). This is because the PR-50 is designed wholly for the

purpose of creating video images, with no restrictions on creating

and working with material (such as videos you create yourself) in

a manner that does not infringe on another's copyright (CGMS is

a function that limits copying through digital connections).

854 revised

• Even if the intended purpose is solely private, personal

enjoyment (personal use), the unauthorized reproduction of any

third-party copyrighted works, which circumvents CGMS or

other technologies, is a violation of copyright and is prohibited by

law.

855 revised

• Reproductions of works not protected by technological means, or

reproductions made in conformance with CGMS are permitted,

as long as the intended use is private, personal enjoyment.

Copyrights on material data

981a

• The copyrights for the material data supplied with the PR-50 are

held by the creators of the materials. For more details, refer to the

separate sheet “ARTBEATS END USER LICENSE

AGREEMENT.”

985

• The explanations in this manual include illustrations that depict

what should typically be shown by the display. Note, however,

that your unit may incorporate a newer, enhanced version of the

system (material names, etc.), so what you actually see in the

display may not always match what appears in the manual.

About This Manual

This Owner’s Manual contains the following sections.

Before Using the PR-50

This section includes cautionary notes regarding use of this device, descriptions of the front and rear

panels, and examples showing different ways to set up and connect the device.

Introduction to Use of the PR-50

This section goes over the procedural sequences used in operating the PR-50, provides descriptions

of the different screens, and explains how to use the PR-50 to play back video images.

Practical Use of the PR-50

This section explains how to control the PR-50 with external devices and provides detailed

instructions for using the PR-50’s functions, allowing you to gain full control of the device.

Reference

This section contains the MIDI Implementation, device specifications, and other data for the PR-50.

When First Operating the PR-50

• If operating the PR-50 for the first time, please read “Basic Workflow” (p. 28). This section

provides a general overview of operations using the PR-50, from turning on the power to playing

back and loading prepared data, in a manner that allows an easy grasp of how the PR-50 works.

• Most of the procedures involve using the mouse or keyboard while viewing the PR-50’s screens.

If you find you do not understand something during an operation, you can check the buttons

and features by referring to the descriptions of the various screens in “Names of Things and

Before Using the PR-50

Other Notes

About the Hard Disk

The PR-50 uses a hard disk for saving video and storing the system. Hard disks do have a limited

lifetime, and thus are considered a consumable item. Depending on how the unit is handled, the hard

disk may reach the end of its service life sooner than expected. Please be sure to observe the following

points to prevent loss of your important creations.

• Back up your projects by using a removable hard disk (DV-HD Series).

• As much as possible, stop playback and keep access to the hard disk to a minimum whenever

playback of video images is not required.

• If the unit is moved frequently, save projects to an optional removable hard disk (DV-HD Series),

and transport the hard disk separately from the PR-50, in the box that it came in when

purchased.

For more information regarding the removable hard disk (DV-HD Series), read “About the

Removable Hard Disk” (p. 124).

About the Shortcut Keys

You can reconfigure the shortcut keys used for the PR-50’s keyboard shortcuts. Although this manual

explains the keyboard shortcuts that use the Ctrl key, if the shortcut keys have been changed by

means of the system environment settings (p. 44), you’ll need to substitute the names of the shortcut

keys you have set while reading these explanations.

About the DV-7DLC Templates

The DV-7DLC template included with this unit makes it easier to understand the functions assigned

to the buttons when the optional DV-7DLC is used with the PR-50. Remove the detachable sheet on

the back of the template and apply the template to the DV-7DLC control panel, then remove the

protective sheet from the template’s front surface.

Before Using the PR-50

Setting Up and Connecting Equipment

Start by connecting the devices you will be using, such as video and audio devices used for output

and monitoring and the displays used for your operations. Whenever connecting devices, always be

sure to have the power turned off first. Connecting equipment with the power turned on may cause

malfunctioning and other problems.

The PR-50 comes with a DV (digital video) cable for use in connecting video devices equipped with

DV connectors to the PR-50’s DV connector. Use the included DV cable when connecting to the DV

connector. When connecting video tape recorders to the S-Video or video (composite) connectors, use

a commercially available video cable.

We recommend connecting to the S-Video connector if a VCR equipped with an S-Video connector

is to be connected to an analog connector. This provides higher quality video than that available with

the normal (composite) video connector.
