1 GND Terminal

Connect using a grounded cable (optional) as conditions require.

In some cases, depending on the environment in which the unit is installed, the surface of the panel may sometimes feel rough and grainy. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal 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)

6 PEDAL Jacks (DAMPER, FC1, FC2)

Connecting the pedal switch (DP-6) provided with the RD- 700 to the DAMPER jack allows you to use the switch as a damper pedal.

With an optional expression pedal (such as the EV-5 or other model) connected to the FC-1 or FC-2 jack, you can then assign a variety of functions to the pedal (p. 23, p. 73).

7 OUTPUT R/L (MONO) Connectors

Provide output of the audio signals. These are connected to an amp or other device. For monaural output use the L/ MONO jack (p. 22).

These also feature balanced output.

8 PHONES Jack

A set of headphones can be connected to this jack (p. 22).

Even when headphones are connected, sound will still be output from the output jacks.
