Adjusting the display Contrast
The text or icon display in the VS-1824's operation display
(LCD) may be difficult to read immediately after the unit is
turned on or after it has been used for long periods, or
depending on the environment in which the unit is used. If
this occurs, rotate the CONTRAST knob to adjust the display
contrast.
If You Have Trouble Understanding
Displays or Operations
If you are unfamiliar with what is displayed on a screen, or
you find you are having difficulty understanding a certain
procedure, press [PLAY (DISPLAY)]. This allows you to
return immediately to the screen that appears when the
power is turned on. Then you can try whatever procedure
you were working on from the beginning once more.
• If you perform an operation incorrectly or it cannot be
executed correctly, an error message may appear in the
display. When this occurs, refer to "Error Messages"
(Appendices p. 9), and perform the required action.
• If, even after you perform an operation using the
prescribed procedure, the result differs from that stated
in the User Guide or Owner's Manual, refer to
"Troubleshooting" (Appendices p. 5).
If the above steps do not resolve your problem, contact a
nearby Roland Service Center or authorized Roland
distributor.
