Roland DIF-AT24 Important Notes, Power Supply, Placement, Maintenance, Additional Precautions

IMPORTANT NOTES

In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2, please read and observe the following:

291a

Power Supply

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

352a

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

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 impreg- nated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. After- wards, 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

553

•Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s switches and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunc-

tions.

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.

558b

•To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels (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.

Copyright

852a

•When exchanging audio signals through a digital connection with an external instrument, this unit can perform recording without being subject to the restrictions of the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS). This is because the unit is intended solely for musical production, and is designed not to be subject to restrictions as long as it is used to record works (such as your own compositions) that do not infringe on the copyrights of others. (SCMS is a feature that prohibits second-generation and later copying through a digital connection. It is built into MD recorders and other consumer digital-audio

equipment as a copyright-protection feature.)

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.
