IMPORTANT NOTES

301

Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being
used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter
(such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air
conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in
which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may
cause this unit to malfunction or may produce visible noise. If it is
not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power
supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.

302

The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of
consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.

307

Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to
all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to
video monitors or other devices.

352a

This unit may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not
use this unit 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.

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.

360

Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on
which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the
surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to
prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that
the unit will not slip or move accidentally.

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 impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
Afterwards, 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.

452

Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s memory may
be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should
always be backed up in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer),
or written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due
care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases
(such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order),
we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and
Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

***

This unit allows you to switch images or turn video effects on/off
at high speed. For some people, viewing such images can cause
headache, nausea, or other discomfort. Do not use this unit to
create video that might cause these types of health problems.
Roland Corporation will accept no responsibility for any such
health problems that may occur in yourself or in viewers.

551

Please be aware that the contents stored at the [MEMORY] knob
(p. 28) can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the
improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk
of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically
save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the
unit’s memory in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer).

552

Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data
that was stored in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer) once it
has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability
concerning such loss of data.

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.

559c

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.

851

Recording, duplication, distribution, sale, lease, performance, or
broadcast of copyrighted material (musical works, visual works,
broadcasts, live performances, etc.) belonging to a third party in
part or in whole without the permission of the copyright owner is
forbidden by law.

852a

This product can be used to record or duplicate visual material
without being limited by certain technological copy-protection
measures. This is due to the fact that this product is intended to
be used for the purpose of producing original video material, and
is therefore designed so that material that does not infringe
copyrights belonging to others (for example, your own original
works) can be recorded or duplicated freely.

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 infringements of third-party copyrights arising
through your use of this unit.
