About the composite connectors and MONITOR OUT connectors
The V-8’s composite inputs and outputs use BNC connectors. If your connection cables have RCA phono plugs, you’ll
need to use the included (or commercially available) RCA-BNC adaptor plugs.
About cable routing
Using an S-video cable will provide a higher-quality image. However, if the cable routing is very long, noise may
appear in the image. If this occurs, use a composite cable.
About the inputs
The S-video connector input will take priority for input channels 5–8.
About the final output
The same image is sent from all of the OUTPUT connectors (composite connectors and S-video connector).
About the ground terminal
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. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which
is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal 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 EDIROL/Roland Service Center, or an authorized EDIROL/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)
* Place the AC adaptor so the side with the indicator (see illustration) faces upwards and the side with textual information
faces downwards. The indicator will light when you plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

Cord hook
To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit
(should the plug be pulled out accidentally), and to avoid
applying undue stress to the AC adaptor connector, anchor
the power cord using the cord hook, as shown in the
illustration.
* The shape of the power cord’s plug varies
depending on the country.
