In addition to the items listed under Safety Precautions on page
please read and adhere to the following
Power supply
When making any connections with other devices, always
turn off the power to all equipment first; this will help
prevent damage or malfunction.
>Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any
device that will generate line noise, such as amotor or
variable lighting system.
Placement
Additional precautions
©Protect the unit from strong impact.
#Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
#A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit, and thus
should be considered normal.
©Before using the unit in aforeign country, consult with
qualified service personnel.
lUsing the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment
containing large transformers) may induce hum.
IThis unit may interfere with radio and television reception.
Do not use this unit in the vicinity of such receives.
Haintenance
IFor everyday cleaning wipe the unit with asoft, dry cloth
(or one that has been slightly dampened water). To
remove stubborn dirt, use amild, neutral detergent.
Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with asoft,
dry cloth.
^Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the risk of discoloration and/or deformation.
lemory backup
IThe unit contains abattery which maintains the contents
of memory while the main power is off. The expected life
of this battery is 5 years or more. However, to avoid the
unexpected loss of memory data, it is strongly
recommended that you change the battery every 5years.
Please be aware that the actual life of the battery will
depend on the physical environment (especially
temperature) in which the unit is used. When it is time to
change the battery, consult with qualified service
personnel.
IWhen the battery becomes weak the following message
will appear in the display: "Internal battery low". Please
change the battery as soon as possible to avoid the loss
of memory data.
#Please be aware that the contents of memory may at
times be lost; when the unit is sent for repairs or when by
some chance amalfunction has occurred. Important data
should be stored on aDATA (Memory) card, or written
down on paper. 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 be impossible to restore the data.

FEATURES
•Wide Range of Waveforms
Naturally, the JV-880 contains all the basic synthesizer waveforms; sawtooth, square, pulse,
etc. It also contains many special waveforms and digital samples.
As waveforms can be processed by FXM (Frequency Cross-Modulation), the JV-880 is
capable of functioning in the most demanding of programming applications, from recreating
acoustic instruments to generating unusual, otherworldly effects. Additional waveforms can
be added by using optional PCM Cards (SO-PCM1 series) or an expansion board (SR-JV80
series).
•On-board Digital Effects
Rich stereo effects that add spaciousness and depth to the sound can be obtained by using
the chorus and reverb sections.
•i\/l ulti-timbral Operation
The JV-880 features seven Independent synthesizer Parts and one rhythm Part. This allows
you to create ensemble performances with the JV's sound sources controlled via MIDI.
IVI uItipte Outputs
The JV-880 has two sets of stereo outputs: the MAIN OUTPUT and the SUB OUTPUT.
Using these outputs allows you to apply external effects to individual sounds.
Mernorf Gards
Internal settings can be stored for future use on optional Data Cards (Roland M-256E).
Sound data stored on aData Card can be selected at any time.

MANUAL UKUANI^A IlUN
This manual is organized according to the following outline. We do recommend that you read the entire manual; however, if you
have abasic knowledge of synthesizers, you may find it sufficient to refer only to specific sections.
Section 1Set up/ListerIng to the sounds
This section explains set up and
connection of the JV-880 for playing, use
of the ROM play feature, and how to
select and play the sound programs.

1.PREPARATIOMS
Connection •••••• •e»***«*»*««**«a**«a**««**»
*As neither an amplifier or speaker system is built into the JV-880, you should use some kind
of amplification/speaker system to hear the unit.
*When using the optional PJ-1M cable, the unit can be directly connected to the input jacks of
astereo set by removing the phone plug adaptors and using the RCA pin connectors.
When using the JV with an amp/speaker setup, be sure all the volume levels are set to zero
before tuning your system on. This will help prevent damage to your speakers.
Plug any headphones you wish to use into the PHONES jack.
To take full advantage of the JV's great sound, use astereo output whenever possible. If you
require amono output, connect an audio cable to the L(MONO) jack.
