Before You Start Playing

Connecting the Pedal Cord

1.Connect the pedal cord to the Pedal jack on the rear panel of DP-970, at the rear.

Connecting the AC Adaptor

NOTE

NOTE

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 or the metal portions of other objects connected to it. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see figure) 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 Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

Unsuitable places for connection

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.

•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)

4.Plug the Power cord into a power outlet.

If necessary, secure the AC adaptor cord with the cord clamps (p. 9).

NOTE

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 jack, anchor the power cord using the cord hook, as shown in the illustration above.

Even if the cord is fastened, strong tension applied to the cord may cause it to be damaged or broken. Be careful not to pull the cord accidentally, or to apply strong pressure to it.

Opening and Closing the Lid

NOTE

Always use two hands to open and close the lid. Although the DP-970’s lid is designed to close slowly and gently when it is released, the lid immediately closes if it has been opened only slightly. Take care not to allow your fingers to become pinched by the lid.

■Opening the Lid

1.Grasp and lift the lid with both hands.

2.Close the blind and open the music rest as shown in the figure.
