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.

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.

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.
