014
• Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
..........................................................................................................
015
• Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to
share an outlet with an unreasonable number of
other devices. Be especially careful when using
extension cords—the total power used by all
devices you have connected to the extension
cord’s outlet must never exceed the power rating
(watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive
loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat
up and eventually melt through.
..........................................................................................................
016
• Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult
with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service
Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as
listed on the “Information” page.
..........................................................................................................
101b

their location or position does not interfere with
their proper ventilation.
..........................................................................................................
102c
• Always grasp only the plug on the AC adaptor
cord when plugging into, or unplugging from, an
outlet or this unit.
..........................................................................................................
103b
• At regular intervals, you should unplug the AC
adaptor and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe
all dust and other accumulations away from its
prongs. Also, disconnect the power plug from the
power outlet whenever the unit is to remain
unused for an extended period of time. Any
accumulation of dust between the power plug
and the power outlet can result in poor insulation
and lead to fire.
..........................................................................................................
104
• Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming
entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be
placed so they are out of the reach of children.
..........................................................................................................
106
• Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on
the unit.
..........................................................................................................
107c
• Never handle the AC adaptor or its plugs with
wet hands when plugging into, or unplugging
from, an outlet or this unit.
..........................................................................................................
108b
• Before moving the unit, disconnect the AC
adaptor and all cords coming from external
devices.
..........................................................................................................
110b
• Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning
in your area, disconnect the AC adaptor from the
outlet.
..........................................................................................................
118a
• Should you remove screws, keep them in a safe
place out of children’s reach, so there is no chance
of them being swallowed accidentally.
..........................................................................................................
120
• Always turn the phantom power off when
connecting any device other than condenser mic
that require phantom power. You risk causing
damage if you mistakenly supply phantom power
to dynamic mics, audio playback devices, or other
devices that don’t require such power. Be sure to
check the specifications of any mic you intend to
use by referring to the manual that came with it.

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.
rubber feet of this unit may discolor or damage the finish
of the piano. To prevent the rubber feet from causing this
type of problem, place a cloth under the unit.
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.
Additional Precautions
552
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents
of data that was stored on a CompactFlash or CD-R/RW
disc once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no
liability concerning such loss of data.

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 information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.

Connection Cables
• When connection cables with resistors are used, the
volume level of equipment connected to the inputs (MIC
1, MIC 2, GUITAR, LINE IN) may be low. If this
happens, use connection cables that do not contain
resistors, such as those from the Roland PCS-series.
MIC 1/MIC 2 Jacks
Connecting Other Equipment
• This instrument is equipped with balanced (XLR/TRS)
type jacks. Wiring diagrams for these jacks are shown
below. Make connections after first checking the wiring
diagrams of other equipment you intend to connect.
• Howling could be produced depending on the location
of mics relative to speakers. This can be remedied by:
1. Changing the orientation of the mic(s).
2. Relocating mic(s) at a greater distance from
speakers.
3. Lowering volume levels.
• You must not connect a mic to both MIC jacks (XLR-type
and phone-type) of the same number. Doing so will
damage the mic and/or the CD-2.
Foot Switch
• If you are using a Boss FS-5U, set the polarity switch of
the FS-5Uas shown in the illustration.

Connecting Condenser Mics
If you’re using condenser mics, you must make settings so
that phantom power is supplied to them.
NOTE
• Supplying phantom power to a dynamic mic or an audio
playback device will cause malfunctions. Also, the CD-2
cannot be used with devices other than condenser mics
that require phantom power (such as the BOSS Direct
Box DI-1).
Carefully read the owner’s manual for the mic you’re
using, and
to “OFF” unless you are using a condenser mic that
requires phantom power.

For example, let’s suppose you’ve recorded a piano performance onto a CF card. Then, while playing back the recorded
piano performance, you can sing along and record the piano performance and your vocal together. A new song containing
the piano and vocal will be created on the CF card.

Cautions When Recording on a CF Card or CD-R/RW Disc
■
Minimum Recording Rime for One Track
Each track on a music CD must be at least four seconds
long. Since the CD-2 creates music CDs from the songs you
record, it does not allow you to record a track that is less
than four seconds long.
Pressing [Stop ( )] or [Pause (
recording if less than four seconds have passed since you
began recording. Moreover, you cannot assign a track
number ( Page 55) in such cases.
■
In Case Your Performance is Not Recordable
Further recording is not possible once you have reached
the maximum recordable time or the maximum number of
songs (99 tracks) that can be recorded.
• If there is no more recordable time, the message “CF Card
Full” or “CD Disc Full” will appear.
• If 99 tracks have already been recorded, the message of
“CF Track Full” or “CD Track Full” will appear.
This message goes away when you press [ENTER].
If you’re using a CF card or a CD-RW disc, you can erase
unwanted songs ( Page 58, 64) and then continue
recording.

Finalization ( Page 50)
“Finalization” is a process that can be applied to a CD-R/
RW disc so that it will be playable by a conventional CD
player. Once a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc has been
finalized, it can be played back as a music CD in a CD
player that supports CD-R or CD-RW playback.
No further songs can be recorded on a CD-R/RW disc that
has been finalized.
• If you’re using a CD-RW disc, you can remove the
finalization and add additional material. Page 65,

Recording with the Internal Mics
Here’s how to record a vocal or instrumental performance via
the CD-2’s internal mics (see the illustration below).
You can record to either a CF card or a CD-R/RW disc.

• You can check the amount of time that remains on the
media. Page 75, “Displaying the Remaining Time”
• You can increase the amount of free space on a CF card
or CD-RW by deleting unwanted tracks.

• If you’re recording to a CF card, you can select the
recording mode that’s appropriate for the content you’re
recording. Page 36, “Choosing the CF Card
Recording Mode”
MEMO
• The sound from the internal mics will not be heard from
the internal speakers. You’ll need to use headphones in
order to audition the sound from the internal mics.
• Since the CD-2 is equipped with highly-sensitive mics,
undesired sounds such as the operating noise of the CDR/RW drive* or the sound of buttons being pressed may
be recorded inadvertently.
If you notice such problems, you can try lowering the
input level of the internal mics. Page 37, “Adjusting
the Input Level: Internal Mic”
* If you’re recording to a CF card, no CD-R/RW drive
operating noise will be recorded.
• Depending on where the CD-2 is positioned in relation
to the sound source, the recorded sound may not be
evenly distributed between the left and right speakers. In
such cases, you can adjust the left/right volume balance
of the internal mics and record your performance
again. Page 39, “Adjusting the Left/Right Volume
Balance of the Internal Mics”
This means that you’ll be recording the sound
from the internal mics.
Page 37, “Selecting the Recording Source”

Adjust the input level of the internal
mics.
●
If Auto Level Control ( Page 76) is “On,” the
input level of the internal mics will be adjusted
automatically. You won’t need to adjust the
internal mic input level.
When the CD-2 is shipped from the factory, Auto
Level Control is turned “On.”
●
If Auto Level Control is “Off,” you’ll need to
manually adjust the internal mic input level.
