101a  
Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share an  
outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices.  
Be especially careful when using extension cords—the  
total power used by all devices you have connected to  
the extension cord’s outlet must never exceed the  
power rating (watts/amperes) for the extension cord.  
Excessive loads can cause the insulation on the cord to  
heat up and eventually melt through.  
The unit should be located so that its location or  
position does not interfere with its proper ventilation.  
......................................................................................................................

whenever the unit is to remain unused for an  
extended period of time. Any accumulation of dust  
between the power plug and the power outlet can  
result in poor insulation and lead to fire.  
Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult with  
your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an  
“Information” (separate leaflet).

IMPORTANT NOTES  
Power Supply  
Maintenance  
301  
401a  
Do not connect this unit to the 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.  
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.  
402  
Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to  
avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.  
Additional Precautions  
307  
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.  
553

will need to use equivalent packaging materials.  
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.  
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 specifications,  
contact the manufacturer of the cable.  
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.  
Copyright  
851  
355b

copyright owner is forbidden by law.  
852a  
This product can be used to record or duplicate audio or visual  
material without being limited by certain technological copy-  
protection measures. This is due to the fact that this product is  
intended to be used for the purpose of producing original  
music or video material, and is therefore designed so that  
material that does not infringe copyrights belonging to others

Switching the Sampling Rate  
Setting SONAR’s Sampling Rate  
*
In SONAR, you cannot change the sampling rate of a project that contains audio data.  
1. Start up SONAR.  
2. If an "Audio Driver Error" is displayed during startup, click [Use Anyway].  
3. Choose “Options|Audio” to display the “Audio Options” dialog box.  
4. On the “General” tab of the dialog, select a value in the Sampling Rate dropdown menu, and a  
value from the Audio Driver Bit Depth dropdown menu.  
5. Click [OK] to close the “Audio Options” dialog box.  
If you are asked to restart SONAR, follow the on-screen instructions. After you’ve changed the sampling rate, we  
recommend that you execute “Wave Profiler...” located in the same dialog box.  
6. Restart SONAR.  
The newly selected sampling rate will be in effect.  
Selecting a high sampling rate will allow you to handle audio at a higher quality, but this will require a  
greater level of performance from your CPU, memory, and hard disk. If you are unsure about the  
performance of your computer, we recommend that you use 44,100 Hz or 48,000 Hz.  
The sampling rate setting is also reflected in new project files that you subsequently create.

Audio Clock Source  
You can choose one of four types of clock source. The current clock source is shown by the front panel SYNC  
indicator.  
In the case of an external source, the indicator will light if synchronization is locked. The indicator will blink if  
synchronization is not locked  
If you’re using SONAR, you can select the clock source parameters as described below.  
If you’re using software other than SONAR, use “VS-700R I/O Editor” which is included on the “SONAR V-  
STUDIO 700 CD-ROM.”  
1. From SONAR’s “Tools” menu, open “VS-700.”  
2. Select the “MIC PRE” tab.  
3. Click the “SYNC” check box to select the clock source.  
If you’re adding a second VS-700R unit, set the INTERFACE field to “2.”  
These settings are not stored in the VS-700.

Cautions When Installing an Expansion Board  
To avoid the risk of damage to internal components that can be caused by static electricity, please carefully observe  
the following whenever you handle the board.  
Before you touch the board, always first grasp a metal object (such as a water pipe), so you are sure that any  
static electricity you might have been carrying has been discharged.  
When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid touching any of the electronic components or  
connectors.  
Save the bag in which the board was originally shipped, and put the board back into it whenever you need to  
store or transport it.  
Use a Phillips screwdriver that is suitable for the size of the screw (a number 2 screwdriver). If an unsuitable screwdriver  
is used, the head of the screw may be stripped.  
To remove a screw, rotate the screwdriver counter-clockwise. To tighten the screws, rotate the screwdriver clockwise.
