Important notes
In addition to the items listed under ÒIMPORTANT SAFE- TY INSTRUCTIONSÓ and ÒUSING THE UNIT SAFELYÓ on pages 2 and 3, 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.
Placement
●Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equip- ment 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 interference.
●This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
●Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehi- cle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
Maintenance
●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 impregnated with a mild,
●Never use benzene, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data
●Please be aware that all data contained in the unitÕs memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be backed up on a DAT recorder or an external disk drive (e.g., hard disk or MO disk). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
Disk drive handling
Disk drives are precision devices. When handling a

●Place the unit in a stable and level location that is not affected by vibration from external sources. If the unit is tilted severely, this may have harmful effects on the operation of the disk drive.
●While using the
●Avoid using the unit immediately after it has been moved to a location with a level of humidity that is greatly different than its former location. Rapid changes in the environment can cause condensation to form inside the drive, which will adversely affect the opera- tion of the drive and/or damage removable disks. When the unit has been moved, allow it to become accustomed to the new environment (allow a few hours) before oper- ating it.
