Important notes
In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE
UNIT SAFELY” on pages 2, 4 and 5, please read and observe the following:
Power supply
• Do not use this unit on the same power circuit
with any device that will generate line noise (such
as an electric motor or variable lighting system).
• 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.
Placement
• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other
equipment containing large power transformers)
may induce hum. To alleviate the problem,
change the orientation of this unit; or move it far-
ther away from the source of interference.
• This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of
such receivers.
• Noise may be produced if wireless communica-
tions 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 con-
versing. Should you experience such problems,
you should relocate such wireless devices so they
are at a greater distance from the MR-200, or
switch them off.
• 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 tem-
perature extremes. Also, do not allow lighting
devices that normally are used while their light
source is very close to the unit (such as a piano
light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon the
same area of the unit for extended periods of time.
Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit
in a wet area, such as an area exposed to rain or
other moisture.
• Do not put anything that contains water (e.g.,
flower vases) on the cabinet. Also, avoid the use of
insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray
cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any liq-
uid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.
• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this
instrument. Peeling such matter off the instru-
ment may damage the exterior finish.
Maintenance
• To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that
is slightly dampened. Try to wipe the entire sur-
face using an equal amount of strength. Rubbing
too hard in the same area can damage the finish.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of
any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration
and/or deformation.
Additional precautions
• Please be aware that the contents of memory is
lost when you switch off the MR-200 or during
improper operation of the unit. To protect your-
self against the risk of loosing important data, we
recommend that you save them to floppy disk.
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the
unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when
using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling
can lead to malfunctions.
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the dis-
play.
• 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.
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit
during normal operation.
• Use cables from Roland to make the connection. If
using some other make of connection cable, please
note the following precautions.
Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not
use cables that incorporate resistors for connect-
ing 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.
If you connect the MR-200’s PHONES socket to a mixing console, amplifier, etc., to which you also
connect an optional MX-200 module, be sure to use the MX-200’s own adapter (do not power it via
the MR-200’s REMOTE EXTERNAL socket) to avoid unpleasant hum.
