IMPORTANT NOTES
291a
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2-3, please read and
observe the following:
Power Supply
301
• Do not use this unit on the same power circuit
with any device that will generate line noise
(such as an electric motor or variable lighting
system).
302
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat
after long hours of consecutive use. This is
normal, and is not a cause for concern.
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.
352
• This device may interfere with radio and
television reception. Do not use this device in
the vicinity of such receivers.
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.
355
• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the
unit in a wet area, such as an area exposed to
rain or other moisture.
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
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.

What is USB?
USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. It is a new interface used to connect various
peripheral devices to a computer.
USB allows more than one peripheral device to be connected via a single USB cable,
and also allows data to be transmitted more rapidly than conventional serial ports.
Peripherals can also be connected or disconnected with the power turned on, and
the computer will automatically recognize the peripheral that has been plugged in.
(Some peripherals may require settings or other operations to be performed.)
About SCMS
SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) is a function that protects the rights of the
copyright owner by prohibiting second-generation or later copying via a digital
connection to a consumer digital audio device such as a DAT recorder or MD
recorder. When a recording is made via a digital connection on a digital recorder
that has this function, SCMS data will be recorded along with the digital audio
signal. A digital audio signal containing this SCMS data cannot be recorded again
via a digital connection.
SCMS on the UA-5
On the UA-5, SCMS will affect operation only for digital signals input from an
external device. If a digital audio signal containing SCMS data is input from a MD
or other media that was digitally copied from a commercial music CD, the UA-5
will operate as follows.
When inputting from the UA-5's digital input connector:
The UA-5 cannot record this signal on your computer.
Nor will the sound be output from the analog output (master output jacks,
headphone jack) or digital output connector. If the input is valid, the Power
indicator will blink.
When inputting from the UA-5's analog inputs (line in jacks):
Recording can be performed as usual.
Features of the UA-5
A note regarding copyright
* Unauthorized recording, public performance, broadcast, sale, or distribution of a work (CD
recording, video, broadcast, etc.) whose copyright is owned by a third party is forbidden by law.
Any infringement on the rights of a third party you may commit using the UA-5 is solely your
own responsibility, and no responsibility shall be born by the manufacturer of the UA-5.
Unauthorized duplication, even for purposes of personal use, of a copyrighted work belonging to
a third party by circumventing technical means of protection such as SCMS constitutes
infringement of the copyright of that third party, and is forbidden by law.

Getting Connected and Installing Drivers (Windows)
If you are using a Macintosh computer, please proceed to "Getting Connected and
Installing Drivers (Macintosh) (p. 34).
What is a driver?
fig.05-1e_50
A “driver” is software that
transfers data between the
UA-5 and application
software running on your
computer, when your
computer and the UA-5
are connected by a USB
cable. The driver sends
data from your application to the UA-5, and from the UA-5 to your application.
Advanced mode and Standard driver mode
The UA-5 has two operating modes, Advanced mode and Standard mode, and a
different driver is used by each mode.
■ Advanced mode
The UA-5 will operate in this mode when the rear panel Mode select switch is
turned ON. The special driver included on the UA-5 Driver CD-ROM will be used,
allowing audio to be recorded/played/edited with high quality and stable timing.
In Advanced mode, audio signals can be transferred between the UA-5 and the
computer at a resolution of 24 bits and sampling frequencies of 44.1/48/96 kHz.
Select this mode if you are using an application that allows high-quality audio
recording/playback/editing, such as an application that supports 24 bit audio
(e.g., the Cakewalk series or Cool Edit) or an ASIO-compatible application (e.g.,
Cubase VST, Logic Audio, or SingerSongWriter).

UA-5
■ Standard driver mode
The UA-5 will operate in this mode when the rear panel Mode select switch is
turned OFF. The standard USB audio driver included with Windows will be used.
In standard driver mode, audio signals are transferred between the UA-5 and the
computer at a resolution of 16 bits and sampling frequencies of 44.1/48 kHz.
Select this mode if you are using an application that uses Window’s own
functionality, such as an application that uses the computer’s CD-ROM drive to
play back CD-audio, or an application that uses the software synthesizer included
with Windows.
The standard driver that is included with Windows does not support ASIO.
If you want to use the UA-5 in Advanced mode, proceed to Installing the special
driver (p. 16). If you want to use OS-standard driver mode, proceed to Installing
the OS-standard driver (p. 25).
15
Getting Connected and Installing Drivers (Windows)
Switching between Advanced mode and Standard driver mode
If you first install both the special driver and the standard driver, you will be able
to switch between Advance and Standard driver modes by operating the UA-5's
ADVANCE (mode select) switch.
* In order for the setting of the ADVANCE (mode select) switch to take effect, you must
exit all sequencer software and other applications that use the UA-5, switch off the UA-5,
then turn it back on again.
Installing the special driver
The installation procedure will differ depending on your system.
Please proceed to one of the following sections, depending on the system you use.
• Windows 2000 users..................................(p. 16)
• Windows Me/98 users..............................(p. 22)
■ Windows 2000 users
WDM driver and Legacy driver
The UA-5 Driver CD-ROM contains two types of driver for Windows 2000.
Before you install the driver, select the driver that will be appropriate for the
application you want to use.
WDM driver
You should use this driver if you have specified WDM driver mode for SONAR or
a similar application. This will provide the highest-quality audio performance.
It is not possible to use 24 bit audio with applications that do not support WDM,
such as Cool Edit or Media Player.
Legacy driver
This driver allows you to use 24 bit audio even from applications that do not
support WDM, such as Cool Edit.
* It is not possible to use the MME driver from WDM driver mode of an application such as
SONAR.
16
It is not possible to install both the WDM driver and the Legacy driver. You must
select one beforehand, and install only that driver. If after installing one of these
drivers you decide to change drivers, you must first delete the already-installed
driver and then install the new driver. (->Deleting the special driver (p. 63))
Getting Connected and Installing Drivers (Windows)
Installing the driver
The WDM driver and the Legacy driver can be installed using
the same procedure.
