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.
360
• 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.
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, nonabrasive 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.
Repairs and Data
452
• Please be aware that all data contained in the
unit’s memory may be lost when the unit is
sent for repairs. Important data should always
be written down on paper (when possible).
During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the
loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as
when circuitry related to memory itself is out
of order), we regret that it may not be possible
to restore the data, and Roland assumes no
liability concerning such loss of data.
Additional Precautions
551
• Please be aware that the contents of memory
can be irretrievably lost as a result of a
malfunction, or the improper operation of the
unit. To protect yourself against the risk of
loosing important data, we recommend that
you periodically write down important data
you have stored in the unit’s memory on paper.
552
• 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.

IMPORTANT NOTES
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 copyright-protection 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.

which are small monaural condenser mics designed for connection to the mic
input of a computer.
Only a monaural mic that supports plug-in power may be connected to the mic
input jack (plug-in powered mic). Connecting any other type of mic or a
conventional stereo mini-type plug to this jack may damage the circuitry.
