• Before using this unit, make sure to read the

instructions below, and the Owner’s Manual.

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

002c

• Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its AC adaptor.

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

003

•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 attached “Information” leaflet.

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

004

• Never use or store the unit in places that are:

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

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

•Humid; or are

•Exposed to rain; or are

•Dusty; or are

•Subject to high levels of vibration.

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

• This unit should be used only with a rack or stand

that is recommended by Roland.

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

006

• When using the unit with a rack or stand recommended by Roland, the rack or stand must be carefully placed so it is level and sure to remain

stable. If not using a rack or stand, you still need to make sure that any location you choose for placing the unit provides a level surface that will properly support the unit, and keep it from wobbling.

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

008c

• 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.

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

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!

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

•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.

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

• Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.

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

• 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 attached “Information” leaflet when:

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

•If smoke or unusual odor occurs

•Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled onto the unit; or

•The unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise has become wet); or

•The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.

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

• 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.

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

• To prevent accidents, never allow small children to

play near the drum kit.

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

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

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

•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 attached “Information” leaflet.

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

• The unit and the AC adaptor should be located so

their location or position does not interfere with their proper ventilation.

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

• This unit for use only with Roland stand (or cart).

Use with other stands (or carts) is capable of resulting in instability causing possible injury.

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

• Always grasp only the output plug or the body of

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

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

• 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 body, or its output plugs, with wet hands when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

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

• Before moving the unit, disconnect the AC adaptor and all cords coming from external devices.

If you need to move the entire drum kit at once, please get at least one other person to help, and while keeping it level, lift and move the whole kit slowly. Make sure to have a firm grip, to protect yourself from injury and the instrument from damage.

•Check to make sure the screws securing the unit to the stand have not become loose. Fasten them again securely whenever you notice any loosening.

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

• Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and

unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet (p. 22).

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

• Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in

your area, disconnect the AC adaptor from the outlet.

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

• Should you remove nuts, washers, screws, anchor

bolts, etc., make sure to put them in a safe place out of children's reach, so there is no chance of them

being swallowed accidentally.

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

IMPORTANT NOTES

In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2–3, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply

•Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any device that will generate line noise (such as an electric motor or variable lighting system).

•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 speakers or other devices.

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.

Placement

•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.

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

•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.

•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.

•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.

•Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

•To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.

•Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower vases) on the unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.

Repairs and Data

•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 in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer), 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.

Memory Backup

•This unit contains a battery which powers the unit’s memory circuits while the main power is off. When this battery becomes weak, the message shown below will appear in the display. Once you see this message, have the battery replaced with a fresh one as soon as possible to avoid the loss of all data in memory. To have the battery replaced, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the attached “Information” leaflet.

Additional Precautions

•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 in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer).

•Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer) 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 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.

•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).

•Since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls to a greater degree than expected, take care not to allow such sound to become a nuisance to neighbors, especially at night and when using headphones. Although the drum pads and pedals are designed so there is a minimal amount of extraneous sound produced when they’re struck, rubber heads tend to produce louder sounds compared to mesh heads. You can effectively reduce much of the unwanted sound from the pads by switching to mesh heads.

•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.

•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.

This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will operate normally.

If the hi-hat control pedal is pressed when the power is turned on, control of the hi-hat’s opening and closing will not work correctly. Striking the pads when turning on the power degrades the pad response when the pads are struck lightly.

Turning On/Off the Power

4 Turn on the power to the connected amp or audio system.

5 Press [SHIFT] + [KIT] (PREVIEW) or strike the pad, and while listening to the sound, gradually bring up [VOLUME] to adjust the volume level.

Also raise the volume level of the connected amp or audio system to the appropriate level.

No Sound Even When Pressing [SHIFT] + [KIT] (PREVIEW)

Check the following points.

When Using an Amp or Audio System

•Is the amp or audio system volume setting correct?

•Are the TD-6V and the amp or audio system connected correctly?

•Is there a problem with any connector cable?

•Have the input select settings of your audio system or amp been made correctly?

When using headphones:

• Are the headphones connected to the [PHONES] jack?

Caution Concerning

Volume

If the volume levels used when striking the pads are left unchanged when playing back demo songs or other songs, the volume may increase suddenly, which may cause ear pain and damaged speakers. Before playing back songs or patterns, rotate the [VOLUME] knob counterclockwise to lower the volume levels, then readjust to a suitable volume while listening to the playback.

Turning Off the Power

1 Completely turn down the volume of the TD-6V and any connected external devices.
