cord. Also, the supplied power cord must not be used with any other
device.
..................................................................................................
009
•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!
..................................................................................................
2
•This unit, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be
capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long period of time at a high volume level, or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should immediately stop using the unit, and consult an audiologist.
..................................................................................................

explode or leak and cause damage or injury. In the interest of safety, please
read and observe the following precautions (P. 20).
• 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 types of batteries.
•Remove the batteries whenever the unit is to remain unused for an extended period of time.
•If a battery has leaked, use a soft piece of cloth or paper towel to wipe all remnants of the discharge from the battery compartment. Then install new batteries. To avoid inflammation of the skin, make sure that none of the battery discharge gets onto your hands or skin. Exercise the utmost caution so that none of the discharge gets near your eyes. Immediately rinse the affected area with running water if any of the discharge has entered the eyes.
•Never keep batteries together with metallic objects such as ballpoint pens, necklaces,
hairpins, etc.
..................................................................................................

291a
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 5, 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.
303a
•Since this device draws a relatively large amount of electrical current, we recommend that you use it with the AC adaptor unless AC power is unavailable. Should you prefer to
use batteries, please use the alkaline type.
304a
•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.
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.
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.
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.
5
IMPORTANTS NOTES
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 hard disk.
552
•Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored on a memory 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.
•Depending on the conditions in which you use the R-1, you may notice a slight sensation of discomfort or roughness when touching the R-1 itself or a metal part of a connected mic. This is due to an extremely small electrical charge which poses absolutely no danger to the human body. If this bothers you, you can use the R-1 on battery power as desired.

* Recording is always in stereo.
WAV files are not compressed; they capture all of the information in the recorded sound. This means that they will have better audio quality than MP3 files. However, WAV files are also much larger than MP3 files.
What is Bit Rate?
Bit Rate indicates the speed at which data is transferred. This is given in units of “bps” (bits per second). Higher bit rates will deliver better audio quality. A higher bit rate conveys more information, meaning that the sound will be represented more accurately; but this also means that the file size will increase. With a lower bit rate, the audio quality will be lower but the file size will also be smaller.
What is VBR?
VBR stands for Variable Bit Rate. This means that the bit rate is varied according to the type of sound at each moment in the recording. A higher bit rate is used when there is a larger amount of sonic information to be captured, and a lower bit rate is used when there is a lesser amount.

|
|
|
*If the material you are recording occasionally contains sudden loud sounds, such as the attack of a drum in a band performance or sudden laughter during a quiet conversation, we recommend that you use the Limiter (06 Limiter, p. 54). When doing so, adjust the input level appropriately for the principal type of sound you are recording—not for the sudden loud sounds that sometimes occur.
When you use the Limiter, the input level is automatically adjusted so that the audio input level doesn’t get excessively high. When using the Limiter, you should adjust the input level so that the ■ symbol at the B position in the illustration appears only occasionally.
