Important Notes
291b
In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on Pages 2 and 3,
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 LCD and 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 and readily
accessible.
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 inter-
ference.
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 initi-
ating 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.
353
Observe the following when using the unit’s disk drive.
Install the unit on a solid, level surface.
Do not move the unit or subject it to vibration while
the drive is operating.
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
temperature and/or humidity is very different, water
droplets (condensation) 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.
Important data should always be backed up on a storage
device (e.g., CD-R/RW disc), or written down on paper
(when possible). 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.
Memory Backup
501b
This unit contains a battery which powers the unit’s
memory circuits while the main power is off. When this
battery becomes weak, the message shown below will
appear in the display. Once you see this message, have the
battery replaced with a fresh one as soon as possible to
avoid the loss of all data in memory. To have the battery
replaced, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland
Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as
listed on the “Information” page.

Important Notes
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 on a storage
device (e.g., CD-R/RW disc).
552
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the
contents of data that was stored on a storage device (e.g.,
CD-R/RW disc) 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.
554
Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
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 precautions.
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 infor-
mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac-
turer of the cable.
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 that
cannot be recorded again onto the external media (e.g.,
CD-R/RW disc).
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, malfunc-
tioning, 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.
Before turning off the power of VS-2400CD, be sure to
perform the shutdown (see Page 78) procedure. Failure
to do so may result in the loss of project data or
damage to the hard disk.
Do not turn off the power while the hard disk is
operating.
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
temperature 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 trans-
porting 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.

Important Notes
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, see Pages 78 and 111.
Handling the CD-RW Drive
Install the unit on a solid, level surface in an area free
from vibration.
Avoid using the unit immediately after it has been moved
to a location with a level of humidity that is greatly
different than its former location. Rapid changes in the
environment can cause condensation to form inside the
drive, which will adversely affect the operation of the
drive and/or damage discs. When the unit has been
moved, allow it to become accustomed to the new
environment (allow a few hours) before operating it.
It is strictly restricted to eject tray using emergency eject
hall during VS-2400CD is operating (while the DISK
indicator of VS-2400CD or access indicator of built-in
CD-RW drive is lit).
Remove any disc from the drive before powering up or
down.
When you carry VS-2400CD, remove the disc from the
loading tray.
To avoid the risk of malfunction and/or damage, insert
only discs with into the CD-RW drive. Never insert
any other type of disc. Avoid getting paper clips, coins, or
any other foreign objects inside the drive.
