Roland MV-8000 Workshop Manual page 5

If you've installed an optional MV8-OP1 Audio I/O Expansion board in your
MV-8000, you can connect a stereo digital device—such as a synth with
digital outputs—to one of the MV8-OP1's digital inputs.
Turning On Your Inputs
After making your connection, you've got to tell the MV-8000
which jacks you want to use.
1. Press the SYSTEM button.
2. Select Global from the SYSTEM menu to
display the GLOBAL window.
Whenever you want to select a numbered menu item—such as the
Global menu item—you can also select it by pressing its number on the
MV-8000's numeric keypad and hitting ENTER.
The Input Select parameter is automatically set to Analog unless you've
installed an MV8-OP1. If you have, select the desired digital input: Coaxial,
Optical, or R-BUS.
3. Set the Input Type parameter to:
• Mono—if you're sampling only from the MIC/LINE L
jack.
• Stereo—if you're sampling from both the MIC/LINE L
and R jacks, or from the two PHONO inputs.

so that the level shown in the IN (A) meters onscreen is as
loud as possible without lighting its red Clip indicators.
If you're sampling in stereo, set the L and R knobs to the same position.
Once they light, the Clip indicators stay lit to make sure you see that there's
been a too-loud moment even if you didn't see it happening. To switch the
Clip indicators back off, click the Reset Peak button.
