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
have written down on paper (when possible).
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents
of data that was stored in the unit’s memory, SD cards, or
SDHC cards once it has been lost. Roland Corporation
assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
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.
Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
When 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.
To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to keep the unit’s
volume at reasonable levels.
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.
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.
When opening/closing the CD drive , please be
careful not to get your fingers pinched between the
movable part and the panel. In places where small
children are present, make sure that an adult provides
supervision and guidance.
Please observe the following precautions when handling
SD cards and SDHC cards.
❍
Do not remove the device while reading/writing is in
progress.
❍
To prevent damage from static electricity, discharge all
static electricity from your person before handling the
device.
❍
Avoid touching the terminals and protect them from
contact with metallic objects. Make sure they stay clean.
❍
Do not bend, drop, or apply strong force to the device.
❍
Do not leave the device where it can be subjected to
direct sunlight. Do not leave the device in locations
such as a closed vehicle.
❍
The device must not get wet.
❍
Do not disassemble or modify the device.
Never turn off the power or disconnect the SD cards or
SDHC cards while the display indicates “Processing...”
All SD cards and SDHC cards eventually wear out. We
recommend that you consider the SD card and SDHC
card not as a permanent storage site, but as a place to
store data temporarily. We also recommend that you back
up important performance or data that cannot be
recorded again onto the another media that is supported
by your unit.

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
