Important Notes - Roland DUO-CAPTURE EX Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT NOTES

Maintenance
• 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
impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with
a soft, dry cloth.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of
any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration
and/or deformation.
• 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.
• When 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.
• To avoid disturbing others nearby, 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.
• 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.
• 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.CDs./.DVDs
• Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside
(encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty
CD/DVD discs may not be read properly. Keep your
discs clean using a commercially available CD/DVD
cleaner.

Grounding
• 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 guitars. 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)
