USB COMPUTER port

&PDF

You can use a commercially available USB cable to connect this unit to your computer so that performance data (MIDI data) can be transmitted and received.

*The MIDI connectors and the MIDI functionality of the USB COMPUTER port cannot be used simultaneously.

*To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always turn down the volume, and turn off all the units before making any connections.

*If you turn the power of this instrument on/off while a MIDI device is connected to the MIDI OUT connector, unexpected data might be transmitted from the MIDI OUT connector. If a problem occurs, disconnect the MIDI device while this instrument is still powered-on.

*When you operate the expression pedal, please be careful not to get your fingers pinched between the movable part and the panel. In places where small children are present, make sure that an adult provides supervision and guidance.

Getting Ready

Installing Batteries

If eight commercially available rechargeable Ni-MH batteries (AA, HR6) are installed, you’ll be able to play this unit without connecting the AC adaptor.

*If you handle batteries improperly, you risk explosion and fluid leakage. Make sure that you carefully observe all of the items related to batteries that are listed in “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (leaflet “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and Owner’s manual (p. 32)).

*We recommend that you keep batteries installed in the unit even though you’ll be powering it with the AC adaptor. That way, you’ll be able to continue a performance even if the cord of

Types of batteries that can be used

If operating this unit on batteries, please use rechargeable Ni-MH batteries.

Using rechargeable Ni-MH batteries will allow approximately 5 hours of continuous operation at room temperature. (However, the duration will be approximately 3 hours if

USB flash drive is connected. The duration of continuous operation may differ depending on the conditions of use.)

NOTE

Do not use alkaline batteries or carbon-zinc battery batteries.

1. While pressing the tabs of the battery compartment cover on this unit’s bottom panel, remove the cover..

Attaching the Ferrite Core

VR-730 only

If you use the USB cable, you must attach the included ferrite core.

This is for the purpose of preventing electromagnetic noise; do not remove it.

1. Open the ferrite core and position it over the cable..

*You must attach the ferrite core near the plug (10 cm or less) that is connected to this unit.

10 cm or less

2. Wrap the cable around the ferrite core; one turn is enough..

3. Close it firmly; you should hear a distinct sound as it clicks shut..

*When turning the unit over, be careful so as to protect the buttons and knobs from damage. Also, handle the unit carefully; do not drop it.

2.Insert the batteries into the battery compartment, taking care to observe the correct polarity (+/- orientation)..

NOTE

Carefully follow the installation instructions for batteries, and make sure you observe the correct polarity.

3. Securely close the battery compartment cover..

When to Replace the Batteries

When the batteries run low, the display will indicate “Charge Battery.”

Stop use, and recharge the batteries.

NOTE

If you continue using the unit after the “Charge Battery” indication appears, the “Battery Low!” indication will appear, and further operation will not be possible.

NOTE

•Take care not to get your fingers pinched when attaching the ferrite core.

•Make sure you don’t apply undue force and damage the cable when clamping on the ferrite core.

Depending on the thickness of the cable, you might not be able to close the ferrite core with the cable wrapped once around

it. Use a cable of a thickness that allows the ferrite core to be attached with the cable wrapped once around it.

Selecting Your Favorite Sounds (Registration)

You can assign a name to your favorite organ, piano, and synthesizer sounds (or combination of sounds), and store it as a “registration.”

A registration can be recalled instantly by pressing a single button. This is a convenient way to switch sounds for each song, or to instantly switch between settings during a live performance.

Registrations are organized into banks, with 4 registrations in each bank.

There are 25 banks, allowing you to store a total of 100 registrations.
