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.
The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long
hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a
cause for concern.
The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the unit’s
power consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer
to use batteries, please use the alkaline type or Nickelhydride type.
When installing or replacing batteries, always turn off the
power on this unit and disconnect any other devices you
may have connected. This way, you can prevent
malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
A battery was installed in the unit before it left the factory.
The life of this battery may be limited, however, since its
primary purpose was to enable testing.
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.
Even if batteries are installed, the power will turn off if you
connect or disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet
while the power is turned on, or if you connect or
disconnect the AC adaptor from the product. When this
occurs, unsaved data may be lost. You must turn off the
power before you connect or disconnect the power cord
or AC adaptor.
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.
360
●
Depending on the material and temperature of the
surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may
discolor or mar the surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet
to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make
sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.
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 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.
351
●
352a
●
352b
●
Placement
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.
This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such
receivers.
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.
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 write down important data you have stored in the
unit’s memory on paper.
552
●
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the
contents of data that was stored SD memory card, CD, or
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, 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.
11
IMPORTANT NOTES
(continued)
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.
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
●
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.
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 (e.g., includes newer
sounds), so what you actually see in the display may not
always match what appears in the manual.
Handling the CD-R/RW Drive
602
●
Install the unit on a solid, level surface in an area free from
vibration.
603
●
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

Differences between CD-R discs and CD-RW discs
Unlike conventional music CDs, both of these discs allow recording.
A song recorded on a CD-R (Compact Disc Recordable) disc cannot be erased later.
You should use CD-R discs in the following cases.
●
To record an important performance
●
To create a CD from songs you’ve recorded on an SD memory card
●
To back up an original music CD
CD-RW (Compact Disc ReWritable) discs allow you to erase a song you’ve recorded.
Songs can be erased one by one starting at the last-recorded song, or you can erase all
songs in a single operation.
CD-RW discs can be recorded and erased approximately 1,000 times.
You should use CD-RW discs in the following cases.
●
To record your practicing
●
To Make a “sketchpad” of your musical ideas

Recordable Media and Functionality
(continued)
Minimum Recording Time for One Track
Each track on a music CD must be at least four seconds
long. Since the CD-2i creates music CDs from the songs
you record, it does not allow you to record a track that’s
less than four seconds long.
Pressing [ ](Stop) or [ (Pause)] will not stop
recording if less than four seconds have passed since you
began recording. Moreover, you cannot assign a track
number (Page 66) in such cases.
In Case Your Performance is Not Recordable
Further recording is not possible once you’ve reached the
maximum recordable time or the maximum number of
songs that can be recorded.
●
If there is no more recordable time, the message “SD
Card Full” or “CD Disc Full” will appear.
●
If the maximum number of tracks have already been
recorded, the message “SD Track Full” or “CD Track
Full” will appear.
This message goes away when you press the [ENTER]
button.
If you’re using an SD memory card or a CD-RW disc, you
can erase unwanted songs (Page 88, 94) and then
continue recording.

Turning the Power On and Off
You can operate the CD-2i either from an electrical outlet or using six AA batteries (sold
separately).
* Always make sure to have the volume level turned down before switching on power. Even with
the volume all the way down, you may still hear some sound when the power is switched on, but
this is normal, and does not indicate a malfunction.
Using the Dedicated AC Adaptor
If you’re using the dedicated AC adaptor, batteries are not required.
* Even if batteries are installed, the power will turn off if you connect or disconnect the power cord
from the AC outlet while the power is turned on, or if you connect or disconnect the AC adaptor
from the product. When this occurs, unsaved data may be lost. You must turn off the power

●
If you want to use batteries, disconnect the dedicated AC adaptor. The batteries will not
be used as the power supply if the dedicated AC adaptor is connected.
●
Carefully follow the installation instructions for batteries, and make sure you observe the
correct polarity.
●
Avoid using new batteries together with used ones. In addition, avoid mixing different
