•The unit should be located so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation.
.........................................................................................................................................
•Always grasp only the plug on the
when plugging into, or unplugging from an outlet.
.........................................................................................................................................
•Any accumulation of dust between the power plug and the power outlet can result in poor insulation and lead to fire. Periodically wipe away such dust with a dry cloth. Also, disconnect the power plug from the power outlet whenever the unit is to remain unused for an extended
period of time.
.........................................................................................................................................
•Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be placed so
they are out of the reach of children.
.........................................................................................................................................
•Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit.
.........................................................................................................................................
•Never handle the power cord or its plug with wet hands
when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet.
.........................................................................................................................................
•Before moving the unit, disconnect the power plug from
the outlet, and pull out all cords from external devices.
.........................................................................................................................................
•Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and unplug
the power cord from the outlet.

•Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in your
area, pull the plug on the power cord out of the outlet.

IMPORTANT NOTES
In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on pages 2, 3 and 4,
please read and observe the following:
Power Supply
•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).
•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.
•Although the LEDs are switched off when the POWER switch is switched off, this does not mean that the unit has been completely disconnected from the source of power. If you need to turn off the power completely, first turn off the POWER switch, then unplug the power cord from the power outlet. For this reason, the outlet into which you choose to connect the power cord’s plug should be one that is within easy reach.
Placement
•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.
•This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
•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.
•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 temper- ature extremes. Also, do not allow lighting devices that normally are used while their light source is very close to the unit (such as a piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon the same area of the unit for extended periods of time. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
•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.
•Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
•Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument. Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the exterior finish.
Maintenance
•To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that is slightly dampened. Try to wipe the entire surface using an equal amount of strength, moving the cloth along with the grain of the wood. Rubbing too hard in the same area can damage the finish.
•Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
•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 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.
•A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal operation.
•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).
•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 equiv- alent packaging materials.
•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 incor- porate 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.
•To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.
•When connection cables with resistors are used, the volume level of equipment connected to the inputs (INPUT and AUX IN jacks) may be low. If this happens, use connection cables that do not contain resistors, such as those from the Roland PCS series.
•Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices.
When powering up:
Turn on the power to the
When powering down:
Turn off the power to the
•Always make sure to have the volume level turned down before switching on power. Even with the volume all the way down, you may still hear some sound when the power is switched on, but this is normal, and does not indicate a malfunction.
•Wrap the AC cord around the cord hook when
