Chapter 1 Outputting Sounds
* The GK cable is a locking cable. When disconnecting the cable, do
not pull on it with undue force, but instead release the lock and
gently disconnect the cable. You can disconnect the cable simply and
easily by holding down the locking portion with your finger and
gently pulling on the plug.

* To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit (should
the plug be pulled out accidentally), and to avoid applying undue
stress to the AC adaptor jack, anchor the power cord using the cord
hook, as shown in the illustration.

* Use only the specified expression pedal (Roland EV-5, BOSS FS-
500L/500H with a connection cable (stereo 1/4" phone – stereo 1/4"
phone); sold separately). By connecting any other expression pedals,
you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
927
* 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 this
device, microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of
other objects, such as basses. This is due to an infinitesimal
electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if
you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal
(see figure) 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)
926a
* When connection cables with resistors are used, the volume level of
equipment connected to the BASS INPUT may be low. If this
happens, use connection cables that do not contain resistors.
* Never connect anything other than the FC-300's RRC2 OUT
connector to the VB-99's RRC2 IN connector. Connecting to a LAN
or other devices that use modular jacks of the same size and shape
(RJ45) may result in damage to the VB-99 and/or the connected
device.
* If using a commercially available ethernet cable as the RRC2
connecting cable, be sure that the cable meets the following
specifications:
• Category 5 (Cat5) or above
• Maximum length of 15 meters
• Cable designed for straight-through connections
* Crossover cables cannot be used.
* Do not subject the RRC2 cable to stress or physical shock.
* Carefully connect the RRC2 cable all the way in–until it is firmly
connected to the RRC2 IN connector.
* When outputting in mono, connect a cable only to the MAIN OUT
L/MONO jack.
