.................................................................................................................................

Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts within it (except when this manual provides specific instructions directing you to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” sheet.

.................................................................................................................................

Never install the unit in any of the following locations.

• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heatgenerating equipment); or are

• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are

Exposed to steam or smoke; or are

Subject to salt exposure; or are

Humid; or are

Exposed to rain; or are

Dusty or sandy; or are

Subject to high levels of vibration and shakiness.

.................................................................................................................................

Make sure you always have the unit placed so it is level and sure to remain stable. Never place it on stands that could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.

.................................................................................................................................

Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the installation matches the input voltage specified on the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors may use a different polarity, or be designed for a different voltage, so their use could result in damage, malfunction, or electric shock.

.................................................................................................................................

Use only the attached power-supply cord. Also, the supplied power cord must not be used with any other device

.................................................................................................................................

4

Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the cord, producing severed elements and short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and shock hazards!

.................................................................................................................................

Do not place containers containing liquid (e.g., flower vases) on this product. Never allow foreign objects (e.g., flammable objects, coins, wires) or liquids (e.g., water or juice) to enter

into this product. Doing so may cause short circuits, faulty operation, or other malfunctions.

.................................................................................................................................

Immediately turn the power off, remove the AC adaptor from the outlet, and request servicing by your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” sheet when:

The AC adaptor, the power-supply cord, or the plug has been damaged; or

In households with small children, an adult should provide supervision until the child is capable of following all the rules essential for the safe operation of the unit.

.................................................................................................................................

Protect the unit from strong impact. (Do not drop it!)

.................................................................................................................................

USING THE UNIT SAFELY

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.

.................................................................................................................................

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” sheet.

.................................................................................................................................

The unit and the AC adaptor should be located so their location or position does not interfere with their proper ventilation.

.................................................................................................................................

Always grasp only the plug on the AC adaptor cord when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

.................................................................................................................................

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.

.................................................................................................................................

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.

.................................................................................................................................

Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit.

.................................................................................................................................

Never handle the AC adaptor or its plugs with wet hands

when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply

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.

Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to monitors or other devices.

Placement

This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

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.

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

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.

Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

6

Additional Precautions

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.

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.

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.

About Power Supply

Connecting the AC adaptor

Connect the AC adaptor to MVS-12. Place the AC adaptor so the side with the indicator (see illustration) faces upwards and the side with textual information downwards. The indicator will light when you plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

Indicator

About Cord Hook

To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit (should the plug be pulled out accidentally), and to avoid applying undue stress to the AC adaptor jack, anchor the power cord using the cord hook, as shown in the illustration.

* When you anchor the power cord, avoid the cord to be rubbed with rear panel and be dammaged.

Caution regarding the power supply

Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device, cameras connected to it, or the metal portions of other objects, such as VCRs. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see figure) with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight noise may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” sheet.

Unsuitable places for connection

Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)

Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)

Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of lightning)
