IMPORTANT NOTES
291b
In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT
SAFELY” on pages 2 – 4, 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 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.
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 DATA
card, 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
501a
•A battery inside the unit powers the internal clock. Once
this battery gets weak, the clock is reset when the unit
turns off. The estimated life expectancy of a battery is
about five years. (The life of a battery changes depending
on the condition.)
When it is time to change the battery, consult with your
retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an autho-
rized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information”
page.
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 DATA card.
552
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents
of data that was stored on a storage device (e.g., hard disk
or DATA card) 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.

IMPORTANT NOTES
558b
To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s
volume at reasonable levels (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.
564
You must read the “license agreement.”
Unauthorized recording, distribution, sale, lending, public
performance, broadcasting, or the like, in whole or in part,
of a work (musical composition, video, broadcast, public
performance, or the like) whose copyright is held by a
third party is prohibited by law.

RATION.
Before Using Cards
Using DATA Cards
704
Carefully insert the DATA card all the way in—until it is
firmly in place.
fig.M512-Insert
705
Never touch the terminals of the DATA card. Also, avoid
getting the terminals dirty.
707
We recommend the use of a separately available Roland
CompactFlash card (PM-128-CF, 128 MB) with this unit.
Roland assumes no liability for operation of other cards
708
CompactFlash cards are constructed using precision
components; handle the cards carefully, paying particular
note to the following.
To prevent damage to the cards from static electricity,
be sure to discharge any static electricity from your
own body before handling the cards.
Do not touch or allow metal to come into contact with
the contact portion of the cards.
Do not bend, drop, or subject cards to strong shock or
vibration.
Do not keep cards in direct sunlight, in closed vehicles,
or other such locations (storage temperature: -25 to 85˚
C).
Do not allow cards to become wet.
Do not disassemble or modify the cards.

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, 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.
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.

Basic Features
You can produce dynamic audio-visual presentations using even the simplest of
materials.
The image generator produces an output of XGA (1,024 X 768) analog RGB high-
quality picture.
You have the liberty to control picture, stamp, and text materials at any time during
operation, using the various picture control functions, which also add a 3-D
appearance to the whole picture. You can set each picture, stamp, and text material
to motion in different patterns independently.
You can specify a stereo sound to be performed in synchronization with the
graphics.
Also, by using the separately available UM-1X, you can connect external MIDI
devices and play back MIDI data.
The RG-100 holds a Scheduler function, with which you can control your audio-
visual performance according to a programmed schedule.
The RG-100 supports the use of external remote control via the RS-232C interface,
remote control in/out terminals, and MIDI (when connected to the optional UM-1X).

Before using this unit
Use these feet when not mounted on a system rack or whenever necessary at any
other installation sites.
Remove the backing from the adhesive side of the skids, and stick them on the
bottom of the unit as shown below.
fig.set-01.eps
If you are planning to mount this unit on a system rack, be sure to follow these notes
to cool down the unit efficiently.
Install at a site with sufficient ventilation.
Do not mount the unit in an enclosed system rack. The unit may draw in the
warmed up air inside the rack, and cannot cool down efficiently.
Should a multiple number of units be mounted together, be sure to keep enough
space to expel heated air from the rack and that the unit does not draw the heated
air back in again. If the rear of the rack cannot be kept open, construct an air vent in
the region where the warmed air tends to accumulate, usually the upper part of the
rear of the rack, or build in a ventilator.
If you are using the unit mounted inside a portable rack, uncover both front and
rear sides of the rack and make sure that both ends have enough clearance.
If an error message warns of overheating, immediate countermeasures are needed
to cool down the unit. Recheck the installation state of the unit or rack following
the notes above.
* While mounting the unit on the system rack, be careful not to get your fingers pinched.
* For further instructions regarding the installation, refer also to
“Placement”
(p. 5).

Before using this unit
When you insert a card, the card indicator lights up while data is loading.
When upload is completed, the indicator turns off.
When using this unit, you can save data such as projects and photos to cards.
We recommend the use of a separately available Roland CompactFlash card (PM-
128-CF) with this unit.
The Roland CF card
PM-128-CF (128 megabytes)
You can save projects and materials until the capacity of the card is reached.
The file names can consist of up to 32 characters.
When you save a material to a card, be sure to add an extension to the file name. For
more information about usable file formats, refer to
“Photos that can be used for
background clips”
(p. 52),
“Materials that can be used for front clips”
(p. 57),
“Sound materials that can be used for playback”
(p. 63) ,
“MIDI data that can be
sent”
(p. 68) , and
“About files that can be used with this unit”
(p. 103).
When using a new card or one that has been used with a different type of unit, you
need to format the card before use.
Notes on formatting
Once formatted, all data that was on the card will be lost. Always check beforehand
to make sure that there is no data that you need on a card before you format it.
The formatting procedure
Card formatting is carried out from the FILE MANAGER screen.
For detailed instructions, refer to
“Formatting the card”
(p. 107).
Insertion
Be careful with the direction of insertion and make sure the appropriate side of the
card is facing upwards. Also, be sure to insert the card all the way in, to the end of
the slot. Never use force when inserting the card.
When removing
Hold the card straight while pulling it out from the slot.
Never eject while loading/saving/formatting a card.
Also, never power down or unplug the unit while loading/saving/formatting the
card. Such attempts may cause serious damage to the card.

Before using this unit
Be sure to connect the supplied mouse following the instructions in
“Basic
connections”
(p. 20). The operation of this unit is mainly performed with the
mouse. The following are the basic actions using the mouse.
When you move the mouse, the pointer as seen on the display moves in the same
direction. Move the pointer to the desired position, and click the left or right button
of the mouse to select a menu or to trigger a function.
The mouse has two buttons; one on the left and one on the right. You mainly use the
left button while operating this unit. Move the mouse pointer to the desired position
and press the left button once. Single-clicks are used often; when clicking on buttons,
such as [OK] or [Cancel], and when selecting a menu.
Move the mouse pointer to the desired position and press the left button twice.
When operating this unit, you use this action on selected materials and effects to
access a window with a further setting menu.
This means literally to “drag” and “drop” items using the mouse. You use this action
to move, position, and copy your materials and effects. Move the mouse pointer to
the desired icon, and press the left button on the mouse to select the item. While
holding down the same button, move the mouse. The selected material or effect
moves along with the mouse pointer. When you reach the next desired position,
release the left button of the mouse. The selected material or effect is placed near the
released point.

RG-100 connection examples
First, connect the output equipment, such as audio devices and a plasma display or large sized LCD. Then connect the
mouse to the front panel. Always make sure that all equipment is powered off before connecting. Otherwise you may
cause the devices to malfunction.
* To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all
devices before making any connections.
* When connection cables with resistors are used, the volume level of equipment connected to the inputs (AUDIO IN) may be low. If
this happens, use connection cables that do not contain resistors, such as those from the Roland PCS series.
