If you're experiencing insufficient playback volume on your Roland Recording Equipment, use CD Mix Level to raise the playback level.
What to do if the input source (audio source) is not output on my Roland Recording Equipment?
If the input source is not being output from your Roland Recording Equipment, consider these possibilities: * Raise the input level using the appropriate knob for the MIC 1/MIC 2/GUITAR/LINE IN jacks. * If the [MIC SELECT] button is lit green (indicating internal mics), use headphones to monitor the sound, as the internal mics' sound is not output from the speakers. * If devices are connected to both the MIC 1 and GUITAR jacks, the sound from MIC 1 will be suppressed; disconnect the GUITAR jack if you want to use MIC 1. * Ensure the [MIC SELECT] button is set appropriately for your input source. * Make sure the LINE IN is turned “On.”
Why is the recorded sound noisy or distorted on my Roland Recording Equipment?
If the recorded sound from your Roland Recording Equipment is noisy or distorted: * Adjust the input level, aiming for the level meter to briefly reach “-3 dB” during loud sounds. * Check the [MIC SELECT] button; if it's lit orange, you might be recording from the internal mics unintentionally. Set it correctly for your intended audio source. * Set unused input levels to the minimum (MIN), even if no equipment is connected to those inputs. * If creating a music CD, try a different mastering effect patch, as some may cause noise or distortion. * Adjust the volume using the [OUTPUT LEVEL] knob to prevent distortion from excessively high output levels.
How to troubleshoot no sound on Roland Recording Equipment?
There are several reasons why you might not be getting any sound from your Roland Recording Equipment. First, ensure that all connections are correctly made. Next, verify that all connected equipment, such as microphones or digital pianos, are powered on. If you are using condenser microphones, make sure that the CD-2’s phantom power switch is turned on. Also, check that the volume of any connected devices is turned up and that headphones are unplugged. Finally, make sure that the volume is not set to the minimum; if it is, use the [OUTPUT LEVEL] knob to raise the volume. Also, check that speaker muting is off. To do this, the [SPEAKER MUTE] button should be unlit. Press the [SPEAKER MUTE] button to turn speaker muting off.
What to do if my Roland Recording Equipment can't record?
If you're unable to record with your Roland Recording Equipment, here are a few things to check: * Ensure the CD is inserted correctly with the label facing upward. * Use a blank or appendable CD-R/RW disc if recording to CD. If the disc is finalized, you’ll need to remove finalization before recording. * If recording to CD, make sure you haven't exceeded the maximum recordable time or number of tracks (99 for CD-R, 98 for CD-RW). Delete unwanted tracks if necessary. * Remember a CD-RW disc can only be recorded and erased approximately one thousand times. * Note that you can’t record for less than four seconds.
