IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn o the
power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions
and/or damage to speakers or other peripheral devices.
Placement
• Using the unit near power ampliers (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 o.
• 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 dierent, 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.
• Depending on the material and temperature of the
surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may
discolor or mar the surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber
feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so,
please make sure that the unit will not slip or move
accidentally.
• Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., a ower
vase) on this 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.
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.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Additional Precautions
• Please be aware that contents in memory can be
irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or 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.
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the
contents of data that was stored in the unit’s memory
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.
• 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.
• 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 specications, contact the manufacturer of the
cable.

Troubleshooting
Problem Conrmation Resolution
You must use the included USB cable.
Some commercially available USB cables do not
meet the requirements of the USB standard,
and this may prevent the QUAD-CAPTURE from
operating correctly.
Disable the monitoring function (p. 48).
Wait a while before attempting playback or
recording.
Set the sampling rate setting of the software
to match the sampling rate of the equipment
connected to the COAXIAL IN (3/4) jack.
When you are not using digital input, be sure to
disconnect anything connected to the COAXIAL IN
(3/4) jack.
Move as far away from the computer as possible.
If the noise decreases when you lower your guitar’s
volume, it may be that your guitar’s pickups are
being aected by noise from your computer or
display.
Disconnect the unused microphone or guitar, and
turn the [SENS 1L] and [SENS 2R] knobs to the left
fully in order to lower the input level.
Try setting the [GROUND LIFT] switch of the QUADCAPTURE to “LIFT,” and check for any improvement
in noise level.
Normally, this switch should be set to “NOR.”
Set the [GROUND LIFT] switch to “LIFT.”
If the noise remains, connect the MIDI sound
module and the QUAD-CAPTURE to a self-powered
USB hub (a USB hub that uses an AC plug).
You may be able to solve the problem by
grounding a metal component of your computer or
the ground pin of your computer’s AC adaptor.
Also check whether there might be a device nearby
that is emitting a strong electromagnetic eld, such
as a television or microwave oven.
Use the [SENS 1L] or [SENS 2R] knob of the
QUAD-CAPTURE to adjust the input level. If your
software has an input level adjustment, check the
input level setting.
The QUAD-CAPTURE’s microphone input level is -60

Problems with SONAR LE
Problem Conrmation Resolution
Cannot record or
play back at 192
kHz
SONAR LE is limited to a maximum
sampling rate of 96 kHz.
If you want to record and play back at 192 kHz, you
need to use a higher-level version of SONAR.
Limitations When Using the 192 kHz Setting
If the QUAD-CAPTURE’s sampling rate is set to 192 kHz, its operation will be limited as follows.
• The COAXIAL IN (3/4)/OUT (3/4) jacks cannot be used.
• The 3-4 port of the audio output device and the 3-4 port and MAIN port of the audio input device
cannot be used (no sound is input/output).
