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
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, nonabrasive 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.
Copyright
851
• Unauthorized recording, distribution, sale, lending, public
performance, broadcasting, or the like, in whole or in part, of
a work (musical composition, video, broadcast, public performance, or the like) whose copyright is held by a third party is
prohibited by law.
852a
• When exchanging audio signals through a digital connection
with an external instrument, this unit can perform recording
without being subject to the restrictions of the Serial Copy
Management System (SCMS). This is because the unit is
intended solely for musical production, and is designed
not to be subject to restrictions as long as it is used to record
works (such as your own compositions) that do not infringe
on the copyrights of others. (SCMS is a feature that prohibits
second-generation and later copying through a digital
connection. It is built into MD recorders and other consumer
digital-audio equipment as a copyright-protection feature.)
853
• Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe on a
copyright held by a third party. We assume no responsibility
whatsoever with regard to any infringements of third-party
copyrights arising through your use of this unit.
Additional Precautions
552
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of
data that was stored on a storage device (e.g., hard disk) 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.
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.
563
• Unauthorized duplication, reproduction, hiring, and lending
prohibited.
564
• Before you open the included CD-ROM, you must read the
“license agreement”. Opening the CD-ROM will be taken
to mean your acceptance of the license agreement.
986
• Although Roland has tested numerous configurations, and
has determined that on average, a computer system similar
to that described above will permit normal operation of the
UA-1X, Roland cannot guarantee that a given computer
can be used satisfactorily with the UA-1X based solely on the
fact that it meets the above requirements. This is because
there are too many other variables that may influence the
processing environment, including differences in motherboard design and the particular combination of other devices
involved.

Features of the UA-1X
The UA-1X is a USB audio interface that can be connected to your computer via
a single USB cable, providing high-quality digital audio output.
Unbeatable Audio Quality
Digital output connectors are provided, and sampling frequencies of
32/44.1/48 kHz are supported for both digital output, allowing signals
to be transferred to or from CD, MD, or DAT with no loss in audio quality.
Analog input/output is provided by RCA phono jacks, allowing high-quality
recording and playback.
* Sampling frequency
When audio is recorded digitally, the level of the sound is measured at fixed
intervals, and those levels are converted into digital signals. The “sampling
frequency” is what determines this interval. Normally, a CD or MD uses
a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.
Simple Connection to Your Computer Via USB Cable
The UA-1X can be connected to your computer via a USB cable. It is bus-powered,
meaning that the power is supplied from your computer.
Since an AC adaptor is not necessary, the UA-1X is an ideal choice for use with
a notebook computer.
What is USB?
6
USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. It is a new interface used to connect various
peripheral devices to a computer.
USB allows more than one peripheral device to be connected via a single USB cable,
and also allows data to be transmitted more rapidly than conventional serial ports.
Peripherals can also be connected or disconnected with the power turned on, and
the computer will automatically recognize the peripheral that has been plugged in.
(Some peripherals may require settings or other operations to be performed.)
Check the Contents of the Package
The UA-1X includes the following items. When you open the package, first make
sure that all items are included. If any are missing, contact the dealer where you
purchased the UA-1X.

External amp, speakers, or headphones necessary for listening to the sound output
via the UA-1X are not included. Nor is a mic included for inputting sound to the
UA-1X. You will need to provide these items yourself.
* As soon as you connect the UA-1X to your computer, sound will no longer be output from
the speakers of your computer. You will need to provide an external monitor system
or headphones.
Digital input/output cables for connecting the MD or DAT recorder are not
included
Although you can use an MD or DAT digital recorder to perform digital recording,
the cables for connecting the recorder to the UA-1X are not included. You will need
to provide these separately.

If you connect the UA-1X as shown in the above diagram with another device that
passes the input audio back to the output (e.g., a MD/DAT in recording mode), the
sound will loop between the UA-1X and the other device, causing oscillation and
producing an unexpected high volume. Be aware that such connections can cause
malfunctions or damage your speakers.
Connections and Driver Installation (Windows)
* If you are a Macintosh user, refer to
(Macintosh)
(p. 23).
Before installing the driver
* The UA-1X cannot be used with Windows 95 or Windows NT.
* Exit all other applications of the Windows before you install the UA-1X driver.
* If you intend to connect the UA-1X and other USB devices to your computer and use them
simultaneously, disconnect all USB devices other than the UA-1X from the USB connector
before you install the driver. If a USB device other than the USB is left connected to your
computer when you install the driver, the driver may not be installed correctly.
In order to use the UA-1X, you must first install the USB Composite Device driver,
the USB Human Interface driver, and the USB Audio Device driver consecutively.
These drivers are included with Windows. If you are using Windows 98, this driver
is provided in the Microsoft Windows CD-ROM, so you will need to have the
Microsoft Windows CD-ROM ready.
(This is not necessary for Windows Me, 2000, or XP.)
What is a driver?
A driver is software that allows an application program running on your computer
to transfer data to and from the UA-1X when it is connected to your computer via
a USB cable.
The driver passes data from the application to the UA-1X, and passes data from the
UA-1X to the application.

When you start up your computer with the UA-1X connected, the computer may
become unstable. If this occurs, start up your computer before connecting the
UA-1X, and connect the UA-1X after start-up.
Before Installing the Driver
In order to use the UA-1X, you must first install a driver. UA-1X uses a driver
included with Mac OS. You do not need to use the CD-ROM that is included
with the UA-1X.
What is a Driver?
A driver is software that allows an application program running on your computer
to transfer data to and from the UA-1X when it is connected to your computer via
a USB cable.
The driver passes data from the application to the UA-1X, and passes data from
the UA-1X to the application.
