Roland Vs-880 Concerning copyright, Disclaimer of liability, Additional Precautions

Important notes

Concerning copyright

The law prohibits the unauthorized recording, public per- formance, broadcast, sale, or distribution etc. of a work (CD recording, video recording, broadcast, etc.) whose copyright is owned by a third party.

The VS-880 does not implement SCMS. This design decision was made with the intent that SCMS should not restrict the creation of original compositions which do not violate copy- right law. Roland will take no responsibility for any infringement of copyright that you may commit in using the VS-880.

< About SCMS >

ÒSCMSÓ stands for ÒSerial Copy Management System.Ó This is a function that protects the rights of copyright holders by prohibiting recording via a digital connection for more than two generations. When digital connections are made between digital recorders that implement this function, SCMS data will be recorded along with the audio data. Digital audio data which contains this SCMS data cannot again be recorded via a digital connection.

Disclaimer of liability

Roland will take no responsibility for any Òdirect damages,Ó Òconsequential damages,Ó or Òany other damagesÓ which may result from your use of the VS-880. These damages may include but are not limited to the following events which can occur when using the VS-880.

Any loss of profit that may occur to you Permanent loss of your music or data

Inability to continue using the VS-880 itself or a connect- ed device

Additional Precautions

●Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irre- trievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improp- er operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the unitÕs memory on a DAT recorder or an external disk drive (e.g., hard disk or MO disk).

●Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the con- tents of data that was stored on a DAT recorder or an external disk drive (e.g., hard disk or MO disk) once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

●Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unitÕs buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to mal- functions.

●Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

●When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itselfÑnever pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cableÕs inter- nal elements.

●A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal operation.

●To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unitÕs volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).

●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.
