• Make sure you always have the unit
placed so it is level and sure to remain
stable. Never place it on stands that
could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.
..................................................................................................
010
• This unit, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and
headphones or speakers, may be
capable of producing sound levels that
could cause permanent hearing loss.
Do not operate for a long period of
time at a high volume level, or at a
level that is uncomfortable. If you
experience any hearing loss or ringing
in the ears, you should immediately
stop using the unit, and consult an
audiologist.
..................................................................................................
011

IMPORTANT NOTES
291a
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2, please read and
observe the following:
Power Supply
307
• 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
351
• 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.
352a
• This device may interfere with radio and
television reception. Do not use this device in
the vicinity of such receivers.
352b
• 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.
354a
• 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.
355b
• When moved from one location to another
where the temperature and/or humidity is
very different, 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.
Maintenance
401a
• 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.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or
solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility
of discoloration and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
552
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore
the contents of data that was stored on a
storage device (e.g., hard disk) once it has
been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no
liability concerning such loss of data.
553
• 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.
556
• 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.
558a
• 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).
559a
• 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.
4
IMPORTANT NOTES
562
• 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.
563
• Unauthorized duplication, reproduction,
hiring, and lending prohibited.
564
• 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
801
• 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.
852b
• 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 copyrightprotection feature.)
853
• 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.
Copyright
851
• 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.

Features of the UA-3FX
Awesome 24-bit audio quality, and input/output
support for a variety of audio formats in both
digital and analog
• Capture analog source material (such as records and cassette tapes) into your computer with
astounding sound quality.
• 32 kHz / 44.1 kHz / 48 kHz 24-bit high-quality sound
AF (Adaptive Focus) technology allows high-quality recording, with even greater sonic
detail for delicate piano sounds and even more powerful impact for dynamic orchestral
sounds.
• Digital (optical) input/output jacks support sampling frequencies of 32 kHz / 44.1 kHz / 48 kHz
You can capture audio signals from CD, MD, or DAT with no loss in quality.
* You will need to use Windows XP or Mac OS X in order to utilize 24-bit audio.
* If you install the dedicated UA-3FX driver that is included, you will also be able to use 24-bit audio
with other operating systems.
Advanced Effect audio processor delivers 24-bit
quality effects for recording and playback with
simple one-touch operation
• With a simple operation you can remove hiss noise from an analog source, and restore lost
tone or presence to make the sound richer and more brilliant.
•A full range of audio processing for playback is also provided. Clear highs, powerful lows,
and deeper reverb for a more spacious sound. The UA-3FX transforms your computer into
an AV processor! The Center Cancel effect lets your computer work as a karaoke system!
• The UA-3FX is ideal for recording guitar or vocals. Performance audio processing includes
seven types of FX Voice effects that can transform your vocals. FX Guitar effects carefully
selected from the BOSS line of processors used by guitarists everywhere let you add anything
from tasteful tones to aggressive distortion, as well as effects such as chorus and delay.
Compact size, ideal for desktop use or portability
The UA-3FX is USB bus-powered, taking its power supply from the computer. Since there’s
no need to connect an AC adaptor, it’s ideal for use with a notebook computer.
Powerful impact for game sound playback
The UA-3FX is an ideal way to greatly enhance your computer’s audio environment.
Support for Dolby Digital 5.1 channel playback
You can connect an AV amp and enjoy the dynamic sound of a movie theater.
* Supported only on Windows XP.
* 5.1 channel playback requires Intervideo Corporation’s WinDVD Version 5 or later, sold separately.

■
CD-ROM
The CD-ROM also contains a driver for using the UA-3FX in Advanced mode.
* You must read the separate license agreements before opening the included CD-ROM.
* Do not touch the underside (the data side) of the disc or allow it to be scratched. Doing so may make

Computer
A “driver” is software that transfers data between the UA-3FX and application software
