IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter or a motor (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner). Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise lter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
Placement
• This unit may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this unit 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.
• When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very dierent, 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.
• Do not place containers or anything else containing liquid on top of this unit. Also, whenever any liquid has been spilled on the surface of this unit, be sure to promptly wipe it away using a soft, dry cloth.
Additional Precautions
• Any data stored within the unit can be lost as the result of equipment failure, incorrect operation, etc. To protect yourself against the irretrievable loss of data, try to make a habit of creating regular backups of the data you’ve stored in the unit.
• Roland assumes no liability concerning the restoration of any stored content that has been lost.
• 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 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.
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal operation.
• This unit allows you to switch images at high speed. For some people, viewing such images can cause headache, nausea, or other discomfort. Do not use this unit to create video that might cause these types of health problems. Roland Corporation will accept no responsibility for any such health problems that may occur in yourself or in viewers.
Using External Memories
• Please observe the following precautions when handling external memory devices. Also, make sure to carefully observe all the precautions that were supplied with the external memory device.
• 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.
Intellectual Property Right
• It is forbidden by law to make an audio recording, video recording, copy or revision of a third party’s copyrighted work (musical work, video work, broadcast, live performance, or other work), whether in whole or in part, and distribute, sell, lease, perform or broadcast it without the permission of the copyright owner.
• Do not use this product 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 product.
• Roland is an either registered trademark or trademark of Roland Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.
• Company names and product names appearing in this document are registered trademarks or trademarks of their respective owners.
Maintenance
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data
• Before sending the unit away for repairs, be sure to make a backup of the data stored within it; or you may prefer to write down the needed information. Although we will do our utmost to preserve the data stored in your unit when we carry out repairs, in some cases, such as when the memory section is physically damaged, restoration of the stored content may be impossible. Roland assumes no liability concerning the restoration of any stored content that has been lost.

About Rack Mounting

Attaching the included rack-mount angle brackets lets you install the V-800HD MK II in a 19-inch rack.
Attaching the Rack-mount Angles
1. Turn o the power to the V-800HD MK II and disconnect the
power cord and all connection cables.
2. Remove the mounting screws (6) specied in the gure.
3. Using the mounting screws (6) you removed in step 2, attach
the rack-mount angles.
Important Notes on Rack Mounting
* The video fader protrudes beyond the mounting surface of the
rack. Take care not to damage it when mounting the unit.
* To prevent incorrect operation or malfunction, take care not to
subject areas protruding beyond the rack to accidental impact.
* To ensure room for connectors and cables, leave 2U of clearance
above the unit.
* Before mounting, turn o the power to the V-800HD MK II and
detach the power cord and all connection cables.
* Use all threaded holes (at 4 locations on each side, for a total of 8) to
secure the unit to the rack using screws. Screws for rack-mounting are not included.
* When mounting the unit, use due caution to ensure that your
ngers do not get caught or pinched.
* Never transport the rack with the unit installed in it. The impact of
shaking or vibration might deform the rack-mount angles.
* When mounting the V-800HD MK II in a rack enclosure, pay
attention to the following points to ensure ecient cooling.
5 Install in a well-ventilated location.
5 Avoid obstructing the cooling-fan intake and exhaust ports on
the side panels of the V-800HD MK II.
5 Avoid mounting the unit in a sealed-type rack. In this situation,
warm air within the rack cannot escape and is drawn into the unit, making ecient cooling impossible.
5 If the back of the rack cannot be opened, install an exhaust
port or ventilation fan at the top back surface of the rack where warm air collects.
* Also read the “Placement” (p. 6) under “IMPORTANT NOTES.”
NOTE
When Uninstalling the Rack-mount Angles
5 Before uninstalling the rack-mount angles, turn o the power
to the V-800HD MK II and disconnect the power cord and all connector cables.
5 Be sure to block the screw holes with the removed screws. Using
dierent screws can result in malfunction.

Grounding terminal
You connect this to an external ground.
Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch the metal portions of this device or other objects connected to the device. This is due to an innitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see gure) with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information.”
Unsuitable places for connection
5 Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
5 Gas pipes (may result in re or explosion)
5 Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of
lightning)
