About the Ground Terminal (p. 8)
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. This is due to an innitesimal electrical charge,
which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned
about this, connect the ground terminal (p. 8) 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” sheet
* Unsuitable places for connection
• Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
• Gas pipes (may result in re or explosion)
• Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be
dangerous in the event of lightning)

No sound is output from the internal speakers if headphones are connected. p. 32
To prevent acoustic feedback, no sound is output from the internal speakers except during playback. p. 32
If you inadvertently disconnect the adaptor or remove the SD card during recording, the project will be damaged and
cannot be played. In some cases you may be able to use the project Repair function to recover it.
If you record more than 2,000 projects in a single folder, projects exceeding 2,000 will not be visible in the R-88’s nder;
however, they have been captured correctly as recorded data, and can be transferred to your computer via USB.
Make sure that the le name is assigned correctly. The R-88 cannot use les that have a name that begins with a “.” (period). p. 35, p. 54
The R-88 can only play les with a le name extension of .WAV. p. 14
A damaged le cannot be played. You might be able to recover the le by using the Repair function. p. 55
The R-88 cannot directly play les from the external memory device. In order to play a le located on the external memory
device, copy the le onto the R-88 SD card, and then play it.
As you repeatedly write and delete project les, the les on the SD memory card become fragmented, and this slows
down the processing speed. If you continue recording in this state, the message “SD Card Slow” is shown, and skips may
occur in the recorded project. If making important recordings, you should consistently delete all projects together when
nished with them. Repeated deletion of data causes the SD memory card to become fragmented, possibly causing
recording to fail.

The power will not turn on if the external power supply voltage is too high. The R-88 is compatible with 9–16 V. p. 24
If the R-88’s power can’t be switched on even though there’s no problem with the AC adaptor or batteries, it may have
malfunctioned. Please contact nearest Roland Service Center as listed on the “Information” sheet.
When you reset the R-88 to its factory settings, all settings made using the “MENU” screen or the like will return to their
original values. Please make the desired settings again.
If the R-88’s power is turned o without using its power switch (e.g., by a battery failure or disconnected AC adaptor), the
settings you made will return to their original values. Please make the desired settings again.
The characters that are not “Available characters” are not displayed properly. In addition, there are cases when RENAME
will not be performed correctly.
Depending on the AUTO OFF setting, power will turn o automatically if no operation is performed for a specied length
of time.
Check to make sure that the setting for the end voltage (external) is appropriate.
Check to make sure that the setting for the type of batteries (alkaline, rechargeable Ni-MH batteries) to be used is correct.
If you’re using batteries or external source, power will turn o when the batteries run low. Please install fresh batteries. p. 23
If the AC adaptor or external power source is connected, or if batteries are installed, the internal clock will obtain its power
from those sources. If several days pass with the batteries removed and the AC adaptor disconnected, the internal clock
will return to its default setting. When you turn on the power in this state, the message “Clock is Initialized” will appear. If
this message appears, please reset the date and time.
