from the outlet
Even with the power switch turned o, this
unit is not completely separated from its main
source of power. When the power needs to
be completely turned o, turn o the power
switch on the unit, then pull out the plug from the
outlet. For this reason, the outlet into which you choose
to connect the power cord’s plug should be one that is
within easy reach and readily accessible.
Concerning the Auto O function
The power to this unit will be turned o
automatically after a predetermined amount
of time has passed since it was last used for
playing music, or its buttons or controls were
operated (Auto O function). If you do not want the
power to be turned o automatically, disengage the
Auto O function (p. 10).

equipment); or are
• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet
oors); or are
• Exposed to steam or smoke; or are
• Subject to salt exposure; or are
• Exposed to rain; or are
• Dusty or sandy; or are
• Subject to high levels of vibration and shakiness; or are
• Placed in a poorly ventilated location.
Use only the supplied AC adaptor and the correct voltage
Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied
with the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage
at the installation matches the input voltage
specied on the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC
adaptors may use a dierent polarity, or be designed for
a dierent voltage, so their use could result in damage,
malfunction, or electric shock.
Use only the supplied power cord
Use only the attached power cord. Also, the
supplied power cord must not be used with
any other device.
Do not bend the power cord or place
heavy objects on it
Otherwise, re or electric shock may result.

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.
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long
hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a
cause for concern.
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 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 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.
• 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.
Maintenance
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or
deformation.
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.
• To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to keep the
unit’s volume at reasonable levels.
• 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.
• Do not use connection cables that contain a built-in
resistor.
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.
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.
