Applying A Fade To Final Video Output; Adjusting The Volume Of The Final Output - Roland VR-5 Owner's Manual

Applying a Fade to Final Video Output

You can apply a fade-in or fade-out to the final output by operating a dial. This applies a white or black fade-out at times when
you want to fade the video output, such as during intervals in a band performance.
Fade Out
Turning the [VIDEO OUT] dial clockwise applies a white fade-out, and turning it counterclockwise applies a black fade-out.
Applying a fade makes the indicator above the dial flash.

Fade In
Return the [VIDEO OUT] dial to its center position. The indicator stops flashing and lights up steadily, and video output resumes.

Adjusting the Volume of the Final Output

You can adjust the volume level of the final output by operating a dial. You carry out this operation while watching the MASTER
indicator.
1.
Check the volume level of the final output.
See the MASTER indicator to check the volume level. If [OVER] lights up, the volume level may be excessive, resulting in distortion.
If only the indicators up to around [-48] or [-30] light up, the volume level may be insufficient. This might worsen the signal-to-
noise ratio, resulting in poor-quality speaker output.

Too high (red)
Appropriate (orange)
Too low (green)
2.
Adjust the volume level.
Turn the [AUDIO OUT LEVEL] dial to adjust the volume level. A suitable level is where [-18] to [-6] light up during moments of
maximum loudness.

If the volume level of speaker output is not suitable even after adjustment into the [-18] to [-6] range, adjust the volume for the speakers or the
amplifier. Once your VR-5's [AUDIO OUT LEVEL] is set properly, changing it again to accommodate your speaker or amp settings may worsen the
sound quality. It is best to set [AUDIO OUT LEVEL] properly, then adjust the volume setting of your speaker or amp.
