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.
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.
352a
• 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.
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 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.
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.
361
• 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
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.
Repairs and Data
452
• 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
551
• 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.
552
• Roland assumes no liability concerning the
restoration of any stored content that has been lost.
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 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.
557
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit
during normal operation.
558
• To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to keep the
unit’s volume at reasonable levels.
559b
• When you need to transport the unit, pack it in
shock-absorbent material. Transporting the unit
without doing so can cause it to become scratched
or damaged, and could lead to malfunction.
568
• 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.
Using External Memories
709
• 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.

Placement and Setup
Important Notes on Rack Mounting
* When mounting the unit in a rack, to ensure ecient cooling, give
attention to the following points.
5Install in a well-ventilated location.
5Never obstruct the exhaust ports on the unit’s top, rear, and side
panels.
5Avoid mounting the unit in a sealed-type rack. Warm air within
the rack cannot escape and is sucked into the unit, making
ecient cooling impossible.
5If the back of the rack cannot be opened, install an exhaust port
or ventilation fan at the top back surface of the rack, where
warm air collects.
5When using the unit while mounted in a movable case (portable
rack), remove the front and rear rack covers so that the front and
back of the unit are not obstructed.
* When installing the unit in a rack or the like, use the mounting
screws occupying the screw holes in the rack-mount brackets
(included with the unit). Also, use due caution to ensure that your
ngers don’t get pinched.
* Also read the“Placement” section (p. 9) under“IMPORTANT NOTES.”
Attaching the Rubber Feet
When using the unit with it unmounted in a rack, attach the
included rubber feet (5) if necessary.
1. Peel o the double-sided tape from the rubber feet and
ax the rubber feet at the locations shown in the gure.
Connecting Cables to the Euroblock Plugs
Attach cables to the included Euroblock plug and connect them to the
AUDIO INPUT and OUTPUT connectors.
1. Prepare the cables.
Strip o about 5 mm of insulation from the tip of each cable and
tightly twist the core wires.
* To avoid electromagnetic noise and other such trouble, we
recommend using shielded cables.
5mm
NOTE
Never apply solder to the insulation-stripped section of the cable.
2. Attach the cable to the Euroblock plug.
Use a commercially available athead screwdriver to loosen the
connector screw.
Insert the cable prepared in step 1, then secure it in place by
tightening the connector screw using the athead screwdriver.

Always turn the phantom power o when connecting any
device other than condenser microphones that require
phantom power. You risk causing damage if you mistakenly
supply phantom power to dynamic microphones, audio
playback devices, or other devices that don’t require such
power. Be sure to check the specications of any microphone
