Electromagnetic radiations
• Electromagnetic radiations may cause a deterioration of audio
performances. Such possible deterioration consists in an audio sig-
nal being emitted. On ceasing the electromagnetic noise, the emis-
sion of the audio signal will simultaneously stop.
Liability and copyright
• The law prohibits the unauthorized recording, public performance,
broadcast, sale, distribution, etc., of a work (musical works, visual
works, broadcasts, live performances, etc.) whose copyright is
owned by a third party. This product 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 copyright law. Roland assumes no responsibility for any
infringement of copyright that you may commit using the JM-8.
• The JM-8's CD-writing functionality and its copy functionality are
designed to allow you to reproduce material to which you have
copyright, or material which the copyright owner has granted you
permission to copy. Accordingly, the reproduction of music CDs or
other copyrighted material without permission of the copyright
owner avoiding technical prohibiting features of second-genera-
tion and later copying, like SCMS or other solutions, constitutes
copyright infringement and may incur penalties even in case such
reproduction is for your own personal use and enjoyment (private
use).
Consult a copyright specialist or specialized publications for more
detailed information on obtaining such permission from the copy-
right holders.
