KATANA-50 MkII EX
Do not remove the speaker grille and speaker
Do not remove the speaker grille and
speaker by any means. Speaker is not user
replaceable. Shock hazardous voltages and

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.
Placement
• Using the unit near power ampliers (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 dierent,
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.
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.
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.
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit
during normal operation.
• To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to keep the
unit’s volume at reasonable levels.
• When disposing of the packing carton or cushioning
material in which this unit was packed, you must
observe the waste disposal regulations that apply to
your locality.
• Do not use connection cables that contain a built-in
resistor.

Turning the Power On/O
* Once everything is properly connected (p. 4–p. 7), be sure to follow the
procedure below to turn on their power. If you turn on equipment in
the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction or equipment failure.
* Before turning the unit on/o, always be sure to turn the volume down.
Even with the volume turned down, you might hear some sound when
switching the unit on/o. However, this is normal and does not indicate
a malfunction.
1. Make sure that the KATANA MkII’s [MASTER] knob and the
volume of the devices connected to the KATANA MkII are
set to 0.
* Before connecting your instrument to the KATANA MkII’s INPUT
jack, set the [MASTER] knob to the minimum setting (far left).
2. Turn on the KATANA MkII.
3. Turn on the power of the devices connected to the LINE
OUT jack and PHONES/REC OUT jack.
4. Adjust the volume levels for the devices.
Before switching o the power, lower the volume on each of the devices
in your system and then TURN OFF the devices in the reverse order to
which they were switched on.
* If you need to turn o the power completely, rst turn o the unit, then
unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
Refer to“To completely turn o power to the unit, pull out the plug
from the outlet” (p. 2).
Restoring the Factory Settings
Here’s how the settings stored in the KATANA MkII can be returned to
their factory-set condition (factory reset).
1. While holding down the [PANEL] button, turn the power
on.
Each of the EFFECTS buttons continues blinking consecutively from
the left. When the blinking stops, all of the KATANA MkII’s settings
return to the factory-set state.
* It takes approximately 30 seconds for the factory reset to be
completed. Don’t turn o the power while the factory reset is in
progress.
