IMPORTANT NOTES

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

Power Supply

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

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.

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

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.

Additional Precautions

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.

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).

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.

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.

Handling CD-ROMs

Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside (encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD-ROM discs may not be read properly. Keep your discs clean using a commercially available CD cleaner.

Features of the UA-3D

The UA-3D offers a complete digital recording and playback, ready to use on both desktop and laptop computers, with professional quality audio resolution up to 16bit/48 kHz.

Unbeatable audio quality

Digital input/output connectors are provided, and sampling frequencies of 32/ 44.1/48 kHz are supported for both digital input and 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, as well as by a guitar input and mic input, 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.

5.1-channel digital playback

5.1-channel digital playback formats such as Dolby Digital and DTS are supported. The included WinDVD turns your computer into a DVD player!

Simple Connection to Your Computer Via USB Cable

The UA-3D 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-3D is an ideal choice for use with a notebook computer.

7

Features of the UA-3D

What is USB?

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.)

About SCMS

SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) is a function that protects the rights of the copyright owner by prohibiting second-generation or later copying via a digital connection to a consumer digital audio device such as a DAT recorder or MD recorder. When a recording is made via a digital connection on a digital recorder that has this function, SCMS data will be recorded along with the digital audio signal. A digital audio signal containing this SCMS data cannot be recorded again via a digital connection.

SCMS on the UA-3D

On the UA-3D, SCMS will affect operation only for digital signals input from an external device. If a digital audio signal containing SCMS data is input from a MD or other media that was digitally copied from a commercial music CD, the UA-3D will operate as follows.

When inputting from the UA-3D’s digital input connector:

The UA-3D cannot record this signal on your computer.

The sound will be output from the analog output (line output jacks, headphone jack) or digital output connector.

When inputting from the UA-3D’s analog inputs (line in jacks):

Recording can be performed as usual.

*On the UA-3D, signals that are input through the digital input connector are output without change from the digital output connector, regardless of whether the signal contains SCMS data.

*The UA-3D operates in partial compliance with SCMS only for signals that are digitally input from an external source. SCMS data will not be added to the digital audio signal that is output from the UA-3D.

8

Features of the UA-3D

Please read before recording digitally

A note regarding copyright

*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.

*When exchanging audio signals through a digital connection with an external instrument, this unit can perform recording without being subjected to some of 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.)

*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.
