IMPORTANT NOTES
 
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
 
• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s memory may be lost 
when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be backed 
up on a memory card, or written down on paper (when possible). 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 not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes 
no liability concerning such loss of data.
 
Additional Precautions
 
551
 
• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost as a 
result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect 
yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that 
you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in 
the unit’s memory on a memory card, or other device.
 
552
 
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was 
stored on a memory card, unit’s memory, or other device  once it has been 
lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
 
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.
 
554
 
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
 
555
 
• A small amount of noise may be heard from the display during normal 
operation.
 
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.
 
557
 
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal operation.
 
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 equiv-
alent packaging materials.
 
561
 
• Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-5; sold separately). By 
connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction 
and/or damage to the unit.
 
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 incor-
porate 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.
 
566b
 
• The sensitivity of the D Beam controller will change depending on the 
amount of light in the vicinity of the unit. If it does not function as you 
expect, adjust the sensitivity as appropriate for the brightness of your 
location. Increase this value will raise the sensitivity (p. 226).
 
Before Using Cards
Using Memory Cards
 
704
 
• Carefully insert the memory Card all the way in—until it is firmly in place.
 
705
 
• Never touch the terminals of the memory card. Also, avoid getting the 
terminals dirty.
 
707
 
• This unit’s memory card slot accepts CompactFlash, Smartmedia (3.3V). 
 
708
 
• CompactFlash, Smartmedia (3.3V) are constructed using precision compo-
nents; handle the cards carefully, paying particular note to the following.
• To prevent damage to the cards from static electricity, be sure to 
discharge any static electricity from your own body before handling the 
cards.
• Do not touch or allow metal to come into contact with the contact 
portion of the cards.
• Do not bend, drop, or subject cards to strong shock or vibration.
• Do not keep cards in direct sunlight, in closed vehicles, or other such 
locations (storage temperature: -25 to 85° C).
• Do not allow cards to become wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify the cards.
 
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.
 
Copyright
 
851
 
• Unauthorized recording, distribution, sale, lending, public performance, 
broadcasting, or the like, in whole or in part, of a work (musical compo-
sition, video, broadcast, public performance, or the like) whose copyright is 
held by a third party is prohibited by law.
 
852a
 
• When exchanging audio signals through a digital connection with an 
external instrument, this unit can perform recording without being subject 
to the restrictions of the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS). This is 
because the unit is intended solely for musical production, and is designed 
not to be subject to restrictions as long as it is used to record works (such as 
your own compositions) that do not infringe on the copyrights of others. 
(SCMS is a feature that prohibits second-generation and later copying 
through a digital connection. It is built into MD recorders and other 
consumer digital-audio equipment as a copyright-protection feature.)
 
853
 
• Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe on a copyright held by 
a third party. We assume no responsibility whatsoever with regard to any 
infringements of third-party copyrights arising through your use of this 
unit.
