IMPORTANT NOTES
291a
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2-3, 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.
302
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after
long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is
not a cause for concern.
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.
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 interference.
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 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.
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 PC 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.
4
Page 5
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 PC card.
552
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the
contents of data that was stored on a PC 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.
554
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
555
•A small amount of noise may be heard from the
display during normal operation.
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
• 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.
Before Using Cards
Using DATA Cards
704
• Carefully insert the PC card all the way in—until it
is firmly in place.
Eject Button
PC card slot
PC card adaptor
Compactflash (PC card)
Ex) When using Compactflash
705
• Never touch the terminals of the PC card. Also,
avoid getting the terminals dirty.
Handling CD-ROMs
801
• Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside
(encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty CDROM discs may not be read properly. Keep your
discs clean using a commercially available CD
cleaner.
About the stand
• Do not transport the P-1 by grasping its stand.

Main features of the P-1
4 Large LCD + Touch Panel
The P-1’s large LCD screen displays a list of the photos. From this list, simply use your finger to touch the
photo that you want to output. The photo you touched will appear on your television or projector.
* Photos can be loaded from PC Card or from your computer via USB.
Fast switching of photos
Photos can be switched with virtually no latency.
This is ideal for realtime control from a MIDI device.
Transition and Title functions
You can use Mix or Wipe effects to transition between photos, and superimpose titles on a photo.
* You can create titles using the P-1’s Title Maker function (p. 75), or create titles on your computer and load them
via USB.
Auto-play
You can switch among photos in synchronization with MP3/SMF data played back by the P-1.
* When playing MP3 data, the photos synchronize to the level of the music. When playing SMF data, the photos
synchronize to MIDI messages. You can also switch among photos according to the volume of an external audio
device.

MP3 player with variable tempo and pitch
The P-1 uses Roland’s proprietary VariPhrase technology, which allows you to freely and independently
control the tempo and pitch of MP3 playback. You can change the tempo without affecting the pitch, or
make fine adjustments to the pitch without changing the tempo. This lets you modify the character of the
music appropriately for your situation.
Narration function
Sound that you record on the P-1 or load as a WAV file can be triggered by a photo and played back.

Grounding terminal
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, microphones
connected to it, or the metal portions of other objects, such as guitars. 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 hum 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” page.
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)

Internal memory
The P-1 contains internal memory for storing albums. When the P-1 is shipped from the factory, the
internal memory contains sample albums with photos and background music. You are free to overwrite
all of this sample data.
Since this factory-loaded sample data is also provided on the included CD-ROM (PRESET(E) folder), you
can reload it if you wish.
PC card
Commercially available PC cards or PC card adaptors for SmartMedia/SD/Memory Stick media can be
used to store albums that won’t fit in internal memory. Photos and background music you want to use in
a P-1 album can also be loaded via PC card.
Computer
If you use a USB cable to connect your computer to the P-1, you’ll be able to save (back up) albums or
individual photos or music from internal memory or a PC card to the hard disk of your computer.
Conversely, photos or background music you create on your computer can be used in the P-1.
For details on the folder structure of internal memory and a PC card, refer to p. 90.

Connecting peripheral equipment
Connecting the P-1 to your television
The P-1 does not have a built-in amp or speakers. In order to hear the sound, you must connect the P1 to an audio playback system such as monitor speakers, a stereo set, or television. Alternatively, you
can listen through headphones.
In this example, we’ll make connections to a television.
1
Before you make connections, make sure that the P-1 and your television are powered off.
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.

Connect the P-1 to your television.
When connection cables with resistors are used, the volume level of equipment connected to the
inputs the audio output jacks may be low. If this happens, use connection cables that do not
contain resistors, such as those from the Roland PCS series.

To connect the P-1 to your television, you’ll need audio cables and a video cable.
If your television has an S-video jack, we recommend that you use the S-video connector to make
connections, since this provides better image quality than the conventional (composite) video jack.
When using speakers (connect to Audio input of speakers)
Audio cables are not included; you’ll need to obtain them separately.
