Important Notes
291b
In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on pages 3 and 4–6,
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 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 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.
354b
• 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.
Also, do not allow lighting devices that normally are used
while their light source is very close to the unit (such as a
piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon the same
area of the unit for extended periods of time. 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.
356
• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on
the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor
or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
358
• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This
can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to
produce sound.
359
• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument.
Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the
exterior finish.
Maintenance
401b
• To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that is slightly
dampened. Try to wipe the entire surface using an equal
amount of strength, moving the cloth along with the grain of
the wood. Rubbing too hard in the same area can damage
the finish.
Addition
• If water droplets should adhere to this device, immediately
wipe them off using a soft dry cloth.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or
deformation.
403
• The pedals of this unit are made of brass.
Brass eventually darkens as the result of the natural
oxidization process. If the brass becomes tarnished, polish
it using commercially available metal polisher.
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 in another
MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer), 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.

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 in another MIDI device
(e.g., a sequencer).
552
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents
of data that was stored in the unit’s memory 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, knobs, 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).
559b
• When you need to transport the unit, pack it in shock-
absorbent material. Transporting the unit without doing so
can cause it to become scratched or damaged, and could
lead to malfunction.
560
• Do not apply undue force to the music rest while it is in use.
562
• 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
• Before opening or closing the keyboard lid, always make
sure that no pets or other small animals are located on top
of the instrument (in particular, they should be kept away
from the keyboard and its lid). Otherwise, 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.

Main Features
Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland Digital Piano RP101.
To ensure that you obtain the maximum enjoyment and take full advantage of the RP101’s functionality, please
read this owner’s manual carefully.
• This instrument features a piano sound generator that utilizes stereo sampling, so it is capable of faithfully
recreating the sound of a high-quality concert grand piano, realistically reproducing even the finest details,
including the sound of the hammers striking the strings. With a maximum polyphony of 64 notes, it has ample
capability even for performances that make full use of pedaling.
• The PHA alpha II keyboard gives you a weighty playing feel in the low register while becoming lighter in the
high register, replicating the authentic feel of a piano.
• The pedal position is detected smoothly, allowing you to vary the effect by the changing the depth to which
you press the pedal. You can take advantage of the way in which subtle differences in pedaling will affect the
sound.
• The newly designed cabinet projects a sense of elegant craftsmanship. It can be placed nearly anywhere, and
does not occupy excessive space.
• In addition to a sliding keyboard lid that stores inside the instrument, there’s a headphone hook for conveniently
storing your headphones when not using them.
• With metronome and recorder functions, as well as 65 built-in songs, you can experience the kind of piano
lessons that are possible only with digital pianos.

About the Pedals
The pedals perform the following operations. You’ll use them
mainly when playing piano.
Damper Pedal (right pedal)
While this pedal is held down, notes will be sustained for an
extended time even if you release your fingers from the
keyboard.
On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will
cause the strings for notes other than the ones you actually
play to vibrate in sympathy with what you’ve played,
producing a rich resonance. The RP101 simulates this
sympathetic vibration (damper resonance).
NOTE
You can change the amount of resonance applied with
the damper pedal. Refer to “Changing the Damper
Pedal’s Resonance (Damper Resonance)” (p. 34).
Sostenuto Pedal (center pedal)
This pedal sustains only the sounds of the keys that were
already played when you pressed the pedal.
Soft Pedal (left pedal)
This pedal is used to make the sound softer.

Before You Start Playing
About the Adjuster
If you feel that the pedal is unstable (for example if you’ve
moved the RP101 to a different location), you can adjust the
adjuster located on the bottom of the pedals as follows.
• Turn the adjuster to lower it until the adjuster is in firm
contact with the floor. The pedal may be damaged if there
is a gap between the adjuster and the floor. In particular,
when you’ve placed the RP101 on carpet, you must turn
the adjuster until it is pressing firmly against the floor.
If the adjuster is difficult to turn, have one person lift either
the left or right side of the stand to make it easier for
another person to turn the adjuster and make the
adjustment.
NOTE
After adjusting the adjuster, press the pedals, and if the
front board moves, turn the adjuster further so that it
makes firm contact with the floor.
NOTE
Always readjust the adjuster after moving the piano.
