Precautions Regarding Setup and Use
812
• Certain hard disk setup procedures and usage conditions
may result in the corruption of recorded data, malfunc-
tioning, or physical damage to the disk, so be sure to
observe the following precautions.
• Do not subject the hard disk to vibration or shock,
especially while the unit is in operation.
• Do not set up the unit in any location where it may be
affected by vibration from external sources, or on any
surface that is not stable and level.
• If the device includes a cooling fan, ensure that the fan
and the side panel air vents remain unobstructed.
• Do not leave the unit in any environment subject to
temperature extremes; for example, in a closed
automobile in summer or outdoors during winter.
• Do not use the unit in conditions of high temperature
and humidity or in any location subject to rapid
temperature changes.
• Do not unplug the power cord or switch off any circuit
breakers in the circuit to which the unit is connected
while the power is turned on.
• Do not move the unit while the power is turned on or
immediately after turning off the power. When trans-
porting the unit, first turn off the power and confirm
that the display screen has gone off, disconnect the
power plug, then wait at least two minutes before
moving the device.
Emergency Procedures
813
* The following procedures are to be used as emergency
measures only, and are not recommended for normal
operation.
• If the device fails to respond to operational commands or
does not complete operations, turn off the power. If the
power does not shut off following normal shutdown
procedures, disconnect the power plug.
If the unit does not operate normally when the power is
turned on again, it may mean that the hard disk has been
damaged. In such instances, consult your dealer or the
nearest Roland Service Center. Note, however, that it may
not be possible to recover any data from the hard disk
once it has been lost.
If your device features drive check capabilities, use the
drive check function to regularly confirm that there are no
problems, even when the device is operating normally.
For more detailed information on the shutdown and drive
check procedures, refer to the Owner's Manual.
Copyright
851
• Unauthorized recording, distribution, sale, lending, public
performance, broadcasting, or the like, in whole or in part,
of a work (musical composition, video, broadcast, public
performance, or the like) whose copyright is held by a
third party is prohibited by law.
852b
• When exchanging audio signals through a digital
connection with an external instrument, this unit can
perform recording without being subjected to some of 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 responsi-
bility whatsoever with regard to any infringements of
third-party copyrights arising through your use of this
unit.
