Setup And Connections; Turning The Power On/Off - Edirol VMC-1 Owner's Manual

Setup and Connections

* To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the
power on all devices before making any connections.
* No video cables come with this product. Please use appropriate video cables for connection with source devices or TV
monitor/Projector.
* It is recommended to use composite cable rather than S-video cable where you need to connect devices long distances
(unless using S-video amplifiers). If devices are installed closer to the VMC-1, it is recommended to use S-video
cables so that you can obtain better image quality.
* When connection cables with resistors are used, the volume level of equipment connected to the inputs (ANALOG
INPUT) may be low. If this happens, use connection cables that do not contain resistors.
* Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that
the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch the metal portions of this device. This is due to an infinitesimal
electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground
terminal with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending on the particulars
of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an
authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information" page.
Unsuitable places for connection
- Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
- Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)
- Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of lightning)
