IMPORTANT NOTES
291a
In addition to the items listed under "USING THE UNIT SAFELY" on page 2–3, please read and
observe the following:
Power Supply
307
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off
the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunc-
tions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
Placement
351
• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other
equipment containing large power transformers) may
induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the
orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from
the source of interference.
352a
• This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such
receivers.
352b
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications
devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the
vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when
receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing.
Should you experience such problems, you should
relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater
distance from this unit, or switch them off.
354a
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near
devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed
vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature
extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the
unit.
355b
• When moved from one location to another where the
temperature and/or humidity is very different, water
droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit.
Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to
use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using
the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours,
until the condensation has completely evaporated.
Maintenance
401a
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry
cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with
water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impreg-
nated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. After-
wards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft,
dry cloth.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or
deformation.

Additional Precautions
553
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit's
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its
jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to
malfunctions.
556
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you
will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable's
internal elements.
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 information on cable specifications,
contact the manufacturer of the cable.
Handling CD-ROMs
801
• Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside
(encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD-
ROM discs may not be read properly. Keep your discs
clean using a commercially available CD cleaner.
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.
853
• Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe on
a copyright held by a third party. We assume no
responsibility whatsoever with regard to any infringe-
ments of third-party copyrights arising through your
use of this unit.
