not be read properly. Keep your discs clean using a commer-
cially available CD cleaner.
• 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.
Repairs and Data
• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s memory

may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data
should always be written down on paper (when possible).
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.
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.
352a
• This device may interfere with radio and television reception.
Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
352b
• 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 initiating 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.
354a
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices
that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or
otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat
can deform or discolor the unit.
355b
• When moved from one location to another where the temper-
ature 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.
358
• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This
can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to
produce sound.
360
• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on
which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar
the surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to
prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure
that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.

• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
556
• 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 cable’s internal
elements.
558a
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s
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).
559a
• 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.
560
• Do not apply undue force to the music rest while it is in use.
561
• Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-5; sold
separately). By connecting any other expression pedals, you
risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
562
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables
that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use
of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low,
or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifica-
tions, contact the manufacturer of the cable.
985
• The explanations in this manual include illustrations that
depict what should typically be shown by the display. Note,
however, that your unit may incorporate a newer, enhanced
version of the system (e.g., includes newer sounds), so what
you actually see in the display may not always match what
appears in the manual.

Since the VIMA has two headphone jacks, two people can use
headphones simultaneously. You can also use headphones to
enjoy the VIMA without disturbing those around you, such as
at night.
Adjusting the brightness

Cautions regarding the LCD display
• You may notice vertical stripes in the screen; these
artifacts are due to the way in which a liquid crystal
display is constructed, and do not indicate a malfunction.
By using the [DISPLAY CONTRAST] knob to adjust the
brightness, you can minimize the visibility of these
artifacts.
Headphones
1. Plug the headphones into the PHONES jack
located at the VIMA’s rear panel.
If headphones are connected, no sound will be output
from the VIMA’s speakers.
• The brightness may be affected by the temperature.
2. Use the VIMA’s [VOLUME] knob (p. 15) to
adjust the headphone volume.
Caution when using headphones
• To prevent damage to the cord’s internal conductors,
avoid rough handling. When using headphones, mainly
try to handle either the plug or the headset.
• Your headphones may be damaged if the volume of a
device is already turned up when you plug them in.

Performing at high volumes may cause the speakers or objects near the piano to
resonate. Fluorescent lights or glass doors may also resonate sympathetically. In
particular, this is more likely to occur for lower notes and higher volumes. You can
take the following measures to minimize resonances.
• Locate the speakers 10--15 cm away from walls or other surfaces.
• Keep the volume down.
Low notes sound wrong, or

Music Files That the VIMA Can Use
What Are Music Files?
Music files contains musical information such as how long the
General MIDI
The General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to
key for a corresponding pitch is played, the force applied to
the key played, and other such information. Performance data
is transmitted to the VIMA from music files saved in a CD-ROM
and played back without change as songs. This is different
than an audio CD, since the music file does not contain a
recording of the sound itself. This makes it possible to change
tempos and keys freely, allowing you to use it in many
different ways.
provide a way to go beyond the limitations of proprietary
designs, and standardize the MIDI capabilities of sound
generating devices. Sound generating devices and music files
that meets the General MIDI standard bears the General MIDI
logo. Music files bearing the General MIDI logo can be
played back using any General MIDI sound generating unit to
produce essentially the same musical performance.
General MIDI 2
Regarding Copyright
The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 recommendations pick
up where the original General MIDI left off, offering enhanced
expressive capabilities, and even greater compatibility. Issues that
were not covered by the original General MIDI recommendations,
such as how sounds are to be edited, and how effects should be
handled, have now been precisely defined. Moreover, the
available sounds have been expanded. General MIDI 2 compliant
sound generators are capable of reliably playing back music files
that carry either the General MIDI or General MIDI 2 logo.
In some cases, the conventional form of General MIDI, which does
not include the new enhancements, is referred to as “General
MIDI 1” as a way of distinguishing it from General MIDI 2.
Use of the song data supplied with the Data Disk attached to
this product for any purpose other than private, personal
enjoyment without the permission of the copyright holder is
prohibited by law. Additionally, this data must not be copied,
nor used in a secondary copyrighted work without the
permission of the copyright holder.
The VIMA Allows You To Use the
Following Music Files
GS Format
VIMA TUNES
VIMA TUNES is a Roland specification for music data that
contains image and lyric data, allowing you to enjoy songs with
lyrics and images simultaneously. When data bearing the
“VIMA TUNES” logo is played back on a device that bears the
same logo, lyrics can be shown on the screen of a connected
external display or television, letting you enjoy karaoke or watch
a slide show.
The GS Format is Roland’s set of specifications for standardizing
the performance of sound generating devices. In addition to
including support for everything defined by the General MIDI,
the highly compatible GS Format additionally offers an
expanded number of sounds, provides for the editing of sounds,
and spells out many details for a wide range of extra features,
including effects such as reverb and chorus. Designed with the
future in mind, the GS Format can readily include new sounds
and support new hardware features when they arrive. Since it is
upwardly compatible with the General MIDI, Roland’s GS
Format is capable of reliably playing back GM Scores equally
as well as it performs GS music files (music files that have been
created with the GS Format in mind).
* This instrument (RK-100) is not able to play back VIMA
TUNES images.
SMF Music Files
SMFs (Standard MIDI Files) use a standard format for music file
that was formulated so that files containing music file could be
widely compatible, regardless of the manufacturer of the
listening device. An enormous variety of music is available,
whether it be for listening, for practicing musical instruments, for
Karaoke, etc.
XG lite
XG is a tone generator format of YAMAHA Corporation, that
defines the ways in which voices are expanded or edited and
the structure and type of effects, in addition to the General
MIDI 1 specification. XGlite is a simplified version of XG tone
generation format. You can play back any XG music files using
an XGlite tone generator. However, keep in mind that some
music files may play back differently compared to the original
files, due to the reduced set of control parameters and effects.
SMF with Lyrics
“SMF with Lyrics” refers to SMF (Standard MIDI File) that
contains the lyrics. When Music Files carrying the “SMF with
Lyrics” logo are played back on the VIMA, the lyrics will
appear in its display.
