Power Supply: Use of Batteries
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Placement
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.
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 a CD-R/RW disc.
552
●
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the
contents of data that was stored on an SD memory card
or CD-R/RW disc 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.
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.

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

Before You Start Recording
Minimum Recording Time for One Track
Each track on a music CD must be at least four seconds
long. Since the CD-2e 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 54) 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 70, 76) and then
continue recording.

Finalization
“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.
For more information, refer to “Making a CD-R/RW Disc for
Playback on Another CD Player (Finalize)” (Page 83).
* 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 78,

If you want to listen to the song you recorded, press the [ (Play)] button
immediately after you stop recording.
Important
●
Since the CD-2e is equipped with highly-sensitive mics, undesired sounds such as the
operating noise of the CD-R/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.
If you’re recording to an SD memory card, no CD-R/RW drive operating noise will be
recorded.
●
Depending on where the CD-2e 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. For details, refer to “Adjusting the Left/Right Volume Balance of the
Internal Mics” (Page 105).
●
When turning the [MIC] knob, you may hear a faint noise when the input level changes,
but this is not a malfunction.
●
If you’ve finished recording a CD-R/RW disc and would like to play that disc on another
CD player, you’ll need to execute the “Finalize” operation. You can finalize the CD-R/RW
disc when ejecting it. For details, refer to “Making a CD-R/RW Disc for Playback on

Adjusting the Input Level Automatically (Auto Level Function)
The Auto Level function can adjust the input level automatically during recording in
response to the loudness of the audio signal. Auto Level is particularly suitable for
recordings that are mainly of human voices, such as a conference or lecture.
To use the Auto Level function, make the following settings in Step 6- on Page 37.
In this case, the input level will be adjusted automatically, so you won’t need to perform
Step 6- .
In Step 6, set the [MIC LEVEL] switch located on the CD-2e’s side panel to
its “AUTO” (automatic) position.

●
We cannot guarantee that a music CD created on the CD-2e will play on all CD players.
Depending on your CD player’s support for CD-R/RW discs, music CDs you create may
not play correctly.
●
Two seconds of silence are automatically inserted between tracks on the CD-R/RW disc
when you create a music CD.
●
The time required for writing will be approximately half the total playback time of the
songs being written. For example, if you’re writing songs that total twenty minutes of
playback time, the process will require approximately ten minutes.
If you want to create a music CD containing songs from more than
one SD memory card
If the CD-R/RW disc has not been finalized, you can add tracks from another SD memory
card. If you want to create a music CD using tracks from more than one SD memory
card, simply keep adding tracks to a CD-R/RW disc and finalize (Page 83) the disc when
you’re finished.

Selecting Songs from an SD Memory Card to Create a CD
Creating a music CD from songs recorded on an EDIROL R-09
“WAV 16-bit” and “44.1 kHz” is supported
If you want to create a music CD using songs that were recorded on an EDIROL R-09,
you must set the R-09’s recording mode to “WAV 16-bit” and sampling frequency to
“44.1 kHz” before you record.
Requirements for songs (files) that can be recognized
Even if a song was recorded with a recording mode of “WAV 16-bit” and a sampling
frequency of “44.1 kHz,” the CD-2e will not recognize it unless it satisfies the following
conditions.
●
Track length must be longer than four seconds.
●
Track title must not contain double-byte characters (e.g., Japanese).
●
Track (file) must be located in the root directory of the SD memory card.
* The CD-2e is able to display and play back a maximum of 99 tracks.

Creating a music CD of a song that won’t fit on a single CD-R/RW disc
fig.WriteCD02-e.eps
Even if a song recorded on the R-09 is too
large to fit on a single CD-R/RW disc, it
can automatically be divided across
multiple CD-R/RW discs.
If you want to automatically divide a large
song and write it across multiple discs,
make the following setting in Step 5 on
Page 79.
In Step 5 (Page 79), specify the large song as the “first” of the songs you want to write.
The song will be divided automatically only if the song you specify as the first song is larger than
a single CD-R/RW disc. In this case, you won’t be able to specify additional songs to be added.
After the first CD-R/RW disc has been ejected, the message “Insert Disc” will appear. Insert
another CD-R/RW disc. When the disc is detected, writing will begin automatically.
Continue inserting additional CD-R/RW discs as directed by the messages that appear.
When all the data has been written, the message “Write Completed. Another Disc?” will appear.
Continue with the procedure from Step 10 of Page 81.
* CD-R/RW discs that have no more space on them after the track has been written will be
finalized automatically. For example, if a track is divided across two discs, as in the example
shown in the illustration at the upper right, the first CD-R/RW disc will be finalized
automatically.

Making a CD-R/RW Disc for Playback on Another CD Player (Finalize)
What’s finalization?
Finalization is the process of writing final information (the number of songs, the song
numbers, the playback times, etc.) to a CD-R/RW disc. When you “finalize” a CD-R/RW
disc that was recorded or written by the CD-2e, that disc will be playable as a music CD
in another CD player.
After finalization, it will no longer be possible to record or write additional material to that disc.
You should finalize the disc when you have completed your music CD and don’t need to write
or record any more data.
* In order to perform this operation, you’ll need the included, dedicated AC adaptor.
Insert the CD-R/RW disc that you want to finalize.

Count-down (min:sec)
The disc is finalized. During this process, a timer is displayed, counting down the time
until finalization is completed.
When finalization is completed, the CD-R/RW disc is ejected. Your music CD is now
ready.
Important
●
We cannot guarantee that a music CD created on the CD-2e will play on all CD players.
Depending on your CD player’s support for CD-R/RW discs, music CDs you create may
not play correctly.

With a CD-RW disc, you can remove the finalization so that you’ll again be able to record
or write to that disc. ☞ “Removing Finalization” (Page 78)
