Important notes
Concerning copyright
The law prohibits the unauthorized recording, public per-
formance, broadcast, sale, or distribution etc. of a work (CD
recording, video recording, broadcast, etc.) whose copyright
is owned by a third party.
The VS-880 does not implement SCMS. This design decision
was made with the intent that SCMS should not restrict the
creation of original compositions which do not violate copy-
right law. Roland will take no responsibility for any
infringement of copyright that you may commit in using
the VS-880.
< About SCMS >
ÒSCMSÓ stands for ÒSerial Copy Management System.Ó
This is a function that protects the rights of copyright
holders by prohibiting recording via a digital connection
for more than two generations. When digital connections
are made between digital recorders that implement this
function, SCMS data will be recorded along with the
audio data. Digital audio data which contains this SCMS
data cannot again be recorded via a digital connection.
Disclaimer of liability
Roland will take no responsibility for any Òdirect damages,Ó
Òconsequential damages,Ó or Òany other damagesÓ which
may result from your use of the VS-880. These damages
may include but are not limited to the following events
which can occur when using the VS-880.
Any loss of profit that may occur to you
Permanent loss of your music or data
Inability to continue using the VS-880 itself or a connect-
ed device

Additional Precautions
Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irre-
trievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improp-
er 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 unitÕs memory on a DAT recorder or
an external disk drive (e.g., hard disk or MO disk).
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the con-
tents of data that was stored on a DAT recorder or an
external disk drive (e.g., hard disk or MO disk) once it
has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability
concerning such loss of data.
Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unitÕs
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its
jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to mal-
functions.
Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itselfÑnever pull on the cable. This way you
will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cableÕs inter-
nal elements.
A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during
normal operation.
To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the
unitÕs 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).
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 equivalent packaging
materials.
