IMPORTANT NOTES
558a
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit's
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use
headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about
those around you (especially when it is late at night).
559a
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise,
you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
562
• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using
some other make of connection cable, please note the
following precautions.
Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use
cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this
unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level
to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For infor-
mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac-
turer of the cable.
Handling the Internal Hard
Disk Drive
• Please note that the hard disk is a consuming product. To
protect yourself against risk of loosing important data by
accidental disk damage, we recommend that you periodi-
cally save a backup copy on the storage device (e.g., Zip
disk or CD-R/RW recorder which is designated by
Roland.)
• Before performing any of the following actions, be sure to
perform the shutdown procedure. Failure to do so may
result in the loss of song data or damage to the hard disk.
Turning off the power of the VS-1824
Turning off the power of the disk drive connected with
SCSI connector
Removing a disk from a removable disk drive
connected with SCSI connector
Shutdown (See Appendices p. 13)
Removable Disk Drive (See Appendices p. 13)
• Do not turn off the power while the hard disk is operating.
• While using the VS-1824, be careful not to subject the unit
to vibration or shock, and avoid moving the unit while the
power is turned on.
• Install the unit on a solid, level surface in an area free from
vibration. If the unit must be installed at an angle, be sure
the installation does not exceed the permissible range.
• Avoid using the unit immediately after it has been moved
to a location with a level of humidity that is greatly
different than its former location. Rapid changes in the
environment can cause condensation to form inside the
drive, which will adversely affect the operation of the
drive. When the unit has been moved, allow it to become
accustomed to the new environment (allow a few hours)
before operating it.

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.
852a
• When exchanging audio signals through a digital
connection with an external instrument, this unit can
perform recording without being subject to the restrictions
of the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS). This is

and is designed not to be subject to restrictions as long as
it is used to record works (such as your own composi-
tions) 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.
