Po w e r Su p p ly  
Ad d itio n a l Pre ca u tio n s  
Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is  
being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by  
an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine,  
microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a  
motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical  
appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit  
to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not  
practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a  
power supply noise filter between this unit and the  
electrical outlet.  
Use a reasonable amount of care when using the units  
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks  
and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.  
When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the  
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you  
will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cables  
internal elements.  
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.  
The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long  
hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a  
cause for concern.  
This device allows you to switch images or turn video  
effects on/ off at high speed. For some people, viewing  
such images can cause headache, nausea, or other  
discomfort. Do not use this device to create video that  
might cause these types of health problems. Roland  
Corporation will accept no responsibility for any such  
health problems that may occur in yourself or in viewers.  
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.  
Pla ce m e n t  
Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment  
containing large power transformers) may induce noise or  
unstable image on video output. To alleviate the problem,  
change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away  
from the source of interference.  
Co p y rig h t  
Unauthorized recording, distribution, sale, lending, public  
performance, broadcasting, or the like, in whole or in part,  
of a work (musical composition, video, broadcast, public  
performance, or the like) whose copyright is held by a  
third party is prohibited by law.  
This device may interfere with radio and television  
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such  
receivers.  
Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe on a  
copyright held by a third party. We assume no responsi-  
bility whatsoever with regard to any infringements of  
third-party copyrights arising through your use of this  
unit.  
Noise may be produced if wireless communications  
devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of  
this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initi-  
ating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience  
such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices  
so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch  
them off.  
When moved from one location to another where the  
temperature and/ or humidity is very different, water  
droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage  
or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in  
this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must  
allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation  
has completely evaporated.  
Ma in te n a n ce  
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, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe  
the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.  
Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any  
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/ or  
deformation.

Even if the video signals you input are unstable, the built-in frame synchronizers  
will correct the synchronization signal of the video. You can work without having to  
worry about noise caused by synchronization problems.  
Sim p le o p e ra tio n  
Since illuminated buttons provide confirmation of the current operating status,  
switching and mixing images is easy.  
Pictu re -In -Pictu re  
The Picture-In-Picture effect lets you show a miniaturized image inside a different  
image.  
Su p e rim p o se  
The Superimpose effect lets you remove a specified portion of an image and combine  
it with a different image. This provides an easy way to superimpose text from the  
video output of your computer.

illustration.  
* The V-1 supports only signals that comply with NTSC/PAL formats. Operation may not be  
stable if non-compliant signals are input.  
The V-1 does not contain an  
audio mixer. Connect the  
audio output of your video  
device directly to your audio  
system. If you want to mix the  
audio from two or more  
sources, you will need to use a  
commercially available audio  
mixer.  
* If a signal is input to both the video (composite) and S-video input jacks, the S-video signal  
will take priority.  
* 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.  
* The video cables needed for making connections are not included with the V-1. You will need  
to obtain commercially available video cables.  
* If the cable length is not too long, you will obtain a better image by using an S-video cable to  
make connections. However, if you cannot avoid using an extremely long video cable, use a  
video (composite) cable rather than an S-video cable.

About the grounding connector  
Depending on the conditions in which you use it, the V-1's panel may feel slightly  
"gritty" to the touch. This is due to an extremely low level of static electricity that  
poses absolutely no danger to you. However, if you find this annoying, you may  
connect the grounding connector to an external ground. Under some conditions,  
connecting an external ground may cause the video image to be disrupted. If you are  
not sure how to connect the ground, consult a Roland service center.  
Do not connect this to the following:  
• 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)

What is MIDI?  
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and is a worldwide standard  
for transferring musical performance data and related information. MIDI-  
compatible devices can be easily connected via MIDI cables to transfer data or  
control operations and settings.

What is V-LINK?  
V-LINK (  
) is a function that makes it easy to “perform video” in  
conjunction with music. Its easy to use a V-LINK compatible device to remotely  
control the V-1. V-LINK lets you perform a wide variety of video effects that are  
linked with your musical performance.  
Usin g V-LIN K  
Use a MIDI cable to connect your V-LINK device to the V-1.For details on how to  
switch V-LINK on/ off, refer to the owners manual of the V-LINK device connected  
to the V-1.The V-LINK indicator will light when V-LINK is on.

Recording Control Data Output from MIDI OUT  
Control data, which describes fader movements and other operations, can be  
transmitted in the form of MIDI messages from MIDI OUT. You can record these  
messages using a MIDI sequencer. To find out which messages can be sent in this  
manner, refer to the implementation chart.  
Refer to your MIDI sequencer's manual for further information.

The Note Mode setting lets you use MIDI note numbers to switch inputs.  
Use a system exclusive message to set the Note Mode.  
If the Note Mode is set to 49Keys Mode or Assign Mode, the velocity value of the note  
message will vary the transition time.  
*
For addresses marked by #, divide the data and transmit it as two bytes; an upper nibble  
(upper 4 bits) and lower nibble (lower 4 bits).  
*
Example) If the original data is BCH, send 0BH as the first byte, and send 0CH as the  
second byte. For reception, the data will be ignored unless the two bytes are received  
together.

The velocity value will control the transition time only when switching to the “A”  
channel if the video fader is at “A,” or when switching to the “B” channel if the video  
fader is at “B.”

Before you suspect a malfunction, please check the following points. If this does not resolve the problem,  
contact your dealer or a Roland service center.  
Operating the video fader does not switch between images  
If the same input is selected for “A” and “B,” moving the video fader wont affect the output image.  
Operating the input selector does not switch between images  
In Lock mode, the input selector may be inoperable because of the position of the video fader. For details, refer  
to Lock mode.  
The input selector doesn’t switch images as expected  
Could you be inputting a signal to both the video (composite) and the S-video inputs of the same channel? If  
so, the S-video will take priority.  
The image is distorted when you operate the input selector  
Is the green video fader indicator lit? The image may be distorted if you use the input selector while “A” and  
Bare being composited. You can use Lock mode to prevent such operations so that this distortion will not  
occur.  
Transition effect does not occur when you operate the input selector  
If the Transition Time knob is near “0” the transition effect will not occur when you use the input selector to  
switch images.  
The images don’t switch as specified by the Transition Time knob setting  
If two images are displayed under the conditions listed below, operating the input selector will not switch the  
images according to the specified transition time.  
If the video fader is stopped midway  
If youre using P in P  
If youre using Superimpose  
Your video device is playing, but no image is output  
Could the Output button be OFF (blinking)? If this is off, no image will be output. Press the blinking Output  
button to turn it ON (lit), and the image will be output.  
The V-1 is operating, but no image is output to your TV  
Perhaps your video device is designed for a different video format than the V-1 is using. If so, switch between  
NTSC mode and PAL mode (p. 20) to set the V-1 to the same video format as your video device.  
* If you experience other problems, you should first try connecting the output of the device connected to the V-1’s input  
directly to a display (TV) to see whether an image is output correctly.  
* Recalling the factory settings Restoring the factory settings  
While holding down the channel 4 button of the Input Select "B" buttons together with the Mix button, turn on the  
power. This will restore the factory settings.
