IMPORTANT NOTES
291a
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on p. 2–3, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply

301
• Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any
device that will generate line noise (such as an electric
motor or variable lighting system).
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 speakers or other devices.

Placement

351
• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment
containing large power transformers) may induce hum.
To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this
unit; or move it farther away from the source of inter-
ference.
352
• This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such
receivers.
353
• Observe the following when using the unit’s CD-RW
drive. For further details, refer to “Before Using Compact
Discs” (p. 10).
❍Do not place the unit near devices that produce a
strong magnetic field (e.g., loudspeakers).
❍Install the unit on a solid, level surface.
❍Do not move the unit or subject it to vibration while
the drive is operating.
354a
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near
devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed
vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes.
Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
355
•To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet
area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.

Maintenance

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.

Additional Precautions

552
•Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents
of data that was stored on a CD-R/RW disc 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.
554
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
***
• If you put stickers or adhesive tape on the panel surface,
peel slowly. Or the prints may be removed together.
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.
558a
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, 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 (especially when it is late at night).
559a
• 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.
562
• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using
some other make of connection cable, please note the
following precautions.
❍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 infor-
mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac-
turer of the cable.

Electric wave obstacle

***
• CD-RW drive is authorized to conform to the chapter 15,
and the regulation for the division B digital devices of the
FCC regulation, which is for the prevention of electric
wave obstacle by the installation in the residence.
CD-RW drive generates, uses or radiates radio frequency
energy, and may cause obstacle to the radio communi-
cation if you use it in irregular manners.
If the wave jamming may happen on the radio and TV,
please try the following. But we cannot guarantee that the
obstacle is completely eliminated.
❍Turn off the power of CDX-1.
❍Change the location and direction of the antennae of
the radio and TV.
❍Keep CDX-1 and the receiver away.
