Precautions Regarding the Hard Disk
The BR-1600CD contains an internal hard disk. This device is of an extremely high-precision design, and it can be easily damaged
if not used and handled correctly. To ensure that the hard disk is being handled properly, you must adhere to the following:
Important Performance and Image Data
Once a hard disk fails to function normally, all data that has been stored on it could be destroyed.
●
All hard disks eventually wear out. Individual differences among hard disks and the conditions under which they are used
have a considerable effect on a hard disk's lifespan. Some devices can be used continuously for many years, while in rare
cases, others break down after a period of several months. We recommend that you consider the hard disk not as a permanent
storage site, but as a place to store data temporarily. We also recommend that you back up important performance and image
data onto the external media that is supported by your device.
For instructions on how to make such backups, refer to “Storing of songs and other hard-disk data to CD-R/RW discs (Backup)” (p. 204).
Note that Roland assumes no liability whatsoever, including monetary compensation, for the loss of any recorded content in
the event of the malfunction of, or physical damage to the hard disk, or for any direct or incidental damages resulting from
the loss of such data.
Precautions Regarding Setup and Use
Certain hard disk setup procedures and usage conditions may result in the corruption of recorded data, malfunctioning, or
physical damage to the disk, so be sure to observe the following precautions.
●
Do not subject the hard disk to vibration or shock, especially while the unit is in operation. Failure to observe this precaution
can result in the hard disk being permanently damaged.
Conditions to be avoided:
• Lifting or moving the BR-1600CD while the power is turned on.
• Transporting the BR-1600CD unprotected in an automobile trunk.
• Knocking the BR-1600CD against table edges when it is being moved.
• Positioning the BR-1600CD close to drums during performances.
• Positioning the BR-1600CD close to amplifiers for guitars and other musical instruments during performances.
●
Do not set up the unit in any location where it may be affected by vibration from external sources, or on any surface that is
not stable and level.
●
If the device includes a cooling fan, ensure that the fan and the side panel air vents remain unobstructed.
●
Do not block the ventilation holes provided in the case as this can result in the temperature inside the BR-1600CD rising, and
this will drastically reduce the hard disk's lifespan.
●
Do not use the unit in conditions of high temperature and humidity or in any location subject to rapid temperature changes.
●
Do not unplug the power cord or switch off any circuit breakers in the circuit to which the unit is connected while the power is turned on.
●
Do not move the unit while the power is turned on or immediately after turning off the power. When transporting the unit,
first turn off the power and confirm that the display screen has gone off, disconnect the power plug, then wait at least two
minutes before moving the device.
●
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.
Emergency Procedures
* The following procedures are to be used as emergency measures only, and are not recommended for normal operation.
If the device fails to respond to operational commands or does not complete operations, turn off the power. If the power does not
shut off following normal shutdown procedures (Basic Operation; p. 9), disconnect the power plug.
If the unit does not operate normally when the power is turned on again, it may mean that the hard disk has been damaged. In
such instances, consult your dealer or the nearest Roland Service Center. Note, however, that it may not be possible to recover any
data from the hard disk once it has been lost.
In addition, even if the hard disk appears to be operating correctly, carry out a Surface Scan (p. 270) to confirm that it has not been damaged.
