4.
Plug the Power cord into a power outlet.
If necessary, secure the AC adaptor cord with the cord
clamps (p. 9).
924
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.

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
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)

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.
