Use audio functionality
Playing sounds on your computer
Here’s how you can listen to audio playback from your computer from the PCR-A30 or
headphones connected to the PCR-A30.

Play back audio data (e.g., .WAV data). You will hear the sound from the PCR-A30’s speakers (or
headphones, if you have connected headphones).
* You will no longer hear sound from the internal speaker of your computer.
* If the PCR-A30’s speaker function is turned off, the speaker will not produce sound.

* Some connection cables contain a resistor. Do not use a cable with a built-in resistor to connect with the
PCR-A30. Doing so may make the sound extremely weak, or inaudible. Use the cable without a built-in
resistor (eg.,Roland PCS series).
* Concerning use of the built-in speakers
Under certain conditions, you may find that the performance of the PCR-A30’s internal speakers
does not meet your expectations. For example, you may experience a poorer audio S/N ratio or
increased distortion.
If such problems occur, take the following measures:
-
Lower the master volume
-
Turn off the internal speakers (p. 85) (use headphones)
-
Connect the AC adaptor and set the power switch to the DC position
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 PCR-A30 is not equipped with its own MIDI sound generator. This means that MIDI data
from your computer cannot be played by the PCR-A30
In order to play sounds on your computer from the PCR-A30, you will need to first install the
driver and make device settings. (

You must also turn on the PCR-A30’s USB Audio functionality. (

AC adaptor
It is not necessary to connect the AC adaptor if
you are using a USB connection. However, with
some computers, the PCR-A30 may not operate
when powered from the USB bus. In this case,
set the power switch to the DC position and
connect the AC adaptor.
