301 Do not connect this unit to 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.

302 The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long

hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.

303a The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the units

power consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer to use batteries, please use the alkaline type or Nickel- hydride type.

304a When installing or replacing batteries, always turn off the

power on this unit and disconnect any other devices you may have connected. This way, you can prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

306a A battery was installed in the unit before it left the factory.

The life of this battery may be limited, however, since its primary purpose was to enable testing.

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.

330 Even if batteries are installed, the power will turn off if you

connect or disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet while the power is turned on, or if you connect or disconnect the AC adaptor from the product. When this occurs, unsaved data may be lost. You must turn off the power before you connect or disconnect the power cord or AC adaptor.

351 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 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

temperature 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.

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.

401a 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.

452 Please be aware that all data contained in the units

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.

551 Please be aware that the contents of memory can be

irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you write down important data you have stored in the units memory on paper.

552 Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the

contents of data that was stored SD memory card, CD, or in the units memory once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

553 Use a reasonable amount of care when using the units

buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

554 Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

556 When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the

connector itselfnever pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cables internal elements.

558a To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the units

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.

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.

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.

602 Install the unit on a solid, level surface in an area free from

vibration. 603 Avoid using the unit immediately after it has been moved

to a location with a level of humidity that is greatly different than its former location. Rapid changes in the environment can cause condensation to form inside the drive, which will adversely affect the operation of the drive and/or damage CDs. When the unit has been moved, allow it to become accustomed to the new environment (allow a few hours) before operating it.

704 Carefully insert the SD memory card all the way inuntil

it is firmly in place.

705 Never touch the terminals of the SD memory card. Also,

avoid getting the terminals dirty. 708 SD memory cards are constructed using precision

components; handle the cards carefully, paying particular note to the following.

To prevent damage to the cards from static electricity, be sure to discharge any static electricity from your own body before handling the cards.

Do not touch or allow metal to come into contact with the contact portion of the cards.

Do not bend, drop, or subject cards to strong shock or vibration.

Do not keep cards in direct sunlight, in closed vehicles, or other such locations.

Do not allow cards to become wet.

Do not disassemble or modify the cards.

801 Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside

(encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD-ROM discs may not be read properly. Keep your discs clean using a commercially available CD cleaner.

851 Recording, duplication, distribution, sale, lease,

performance, or broadcast of copyrighted material (musical works, visual works, broadcasts, live performances, etc.) belonging to a third party in part or in whole without the permission of the copyright owner is forbidden by law.

852 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 (for example, your own original works) can be recorded or duplicated freely.

853 Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe on a

copyright held by a third party. We assume no responsibility whatsoever with regard to any infringements of third-party copyrights arising through your use of this unit.

Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device, microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of other objects, such as guitars. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see figure) with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the Information page

As its recording media, the CD-2i uses SD memory cards, CD-R discs, and CD-RW discs. The functions available for editing or deleting songs (tracks) after

recording will differ according to the media you use.

The table below shows the functions available for each type of media.

* In order for a CD-R/RW disc recorded on the CD-2i to be playable on another CD player, an operation called finalizing (Page 102) must be performed on that disc.

* We cannot guarantee that a music CD created on the CD-2i will play on all CD players. Depending on your CD players support for CD-R/RW discs, music CDs you create may or may not play correctly.

* The CD-2i supports SDHC memory cards.

* Some SD memory card types or SD memory cards from some manufacturers may not record or play back properly on the CD-2i.

Unlike conventional music CDs, both of these discs allow recording.

A song recorded on a CD-R (Compact Disc Recordable) disc cannot be erased later.

You should use CD-R discs in the following cases.

To record an important performance

To create a CD from songs youve recorded on an SD memory card

To back up an original music CD

CD-RW (Compact Disc ReWritable) discs allow you to erase a song youve recorded. Songs can be erased one by one starting at the last-recorded song, or you can erase all songs in a single operation.

CD-RW discs can be recorded and erased approximately 1,000 times.

You should use CD-RW discs in the following cases.

Each track on a music CD must be at least four seconds long. Since the CD-2i creates music CDs from the songs you record, it does not allow you to record a track thats less than four seconds long. Pressing [ ](Stop) or [ (Pause)] will not stop recording if less than four seconds have passed since you began recording. Moreover, you cannot assign a track number (Page 66) in such cases.

Further recording is not possible once youve reached the maximum recordable time or the maximum number of songs that can be recorded. If there is no more recordable time, the message SD

Card Full or CD Disc Full will appear. If the maximum number of tracks have already been

recorded, the message SD Track Full or CD Track Full will appear.

This message goes away when you press the [ENTER] button.

If youre using an SD memory card or a CD-RW disc, you can erase unwanted songs (Page 88, 94) and then continue recording.

Data Format

Wave (Stereo)

Sampling Rate: 441 kHz

Bit Depth: 16 bits

* CD-2i only supports above data format.

Recording Modes and Maximum Recording Times

* The maximum times given above are approximate. The actual time may be slightly less depending on how tracks have been edited.

* You can view the remaining time in the display.

Page 115, Viewing the Remaining Recording/Playback Time

Recording Time for One Track (One Song)

The maximum length of one track is 74 minutes. If a recording exceeds 74 minutes, a new track division will automatically be created.

The Number of Recording Tracks

A maximum of 99 tracks can be recorded on one SD memory card.

Maximum Recording Times

* The maximum times given above are approximate. The actual time may be slightly less depending on the number of tracks that are recorded.

* You can view the remaining time in the display.

Page 115, Viewing the Remaining Recording/Playback Time

Types of Discs that You Can Record

*

Blank disc

refers to an empty disc on which nothing has been recorded or stored.

The Number of Recording Tracks

A maximum of 99 tracks can be recorded on one CD-R/RW disc.

Recorded Songs

When you record on a CD-R/RW disc, a blank space of two seconds will automatically be added at the end of each track (song).

Finalization

Finalization is a process that can be applied to a CD-R/ RW disc so that it will be playable by a conventional CD player. Once a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc has been finalized, it can be played back as a music CD in a CD player that supports CD-R or CD-RW playback.

For more information, refer to Making a CD-R/RW Disc for Playback on Another CD Player (Finalize) (Page 102).

* No further songs can be recorded on a CD-R/RW disc that has been finalized.

If youre using a CD-RW disc, you can remove the finalization and add additional material.

You can operate the CD-2i either from an electrical outlet or using six AA batteries (sold separately).

* Always make sure to have the volume level turned down before switching on power. Even with the volume all the way down, you may still hear some sound when the power is switched on, but this is normal, and does not indicate a malfunction.

If youre using the dedicated AC adaptor, batteries are not required.

* Even if batteries are installed, the power will turn off if you connect or disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet while the power is turned on, or if you connect or disconnect the AC adaptor from the product. When this occurs, unsaved data may be lost. You must turn off the power before you connect or disconnect the power cord or AC adaptor.

Since the CD-2i is equipped with highly-sensitive mics, undesired sounds such as the operating noise of the CD-R/RW drive or the sound of buttons being pressed may be recorded inadvertently. If you notice such problems, you can try lowering the input level of the internal mics.

If youre recording to an SD memory card, no CD-R/RW drive operating noise will be recorded.

Depending on where the CD-2i is positioned in relation to the sound source, the recorded sound may not be evenly distributed between the left and right speakers. In such cases, you can adjust the left/right volume balance of the internal mics and record your performance again.

Press the [EXIT] button to end the procedure.

Youre returned to the audio source screen.

We cannot guarantee that a music CD created on the CD-2i will play on all CD players. Depending on your CD players support for CD-R/RW discs, music CDs you create may not play correctly.

Two seconds of silence are automatically inserted between tracks on the CD-R/RW disc when you create a music CD.

The time required for writing will be approximately half the total playback time of the songs being written. For example, if youre writing songs that total twenty minutes of playback time, the process will require approximately ten minutes.

Important

If the CD-R/RW disc has not been finalized, you can add tracks from another SD memory card. If you want to create a music CD using tracks from more than one SD memory card, simply keep adding tracks to a CD-R/RW disc and finalize (Page 102) the disc when youre finished.

WAV 16-bit and 44.1 kHz is supported If you want to create a music CD using songs that were recorded on an R-09, you must set the R-09s recording mode to WAV 16-bit and sampling frequency to 44.1 kHz before you record.

Requirements for songs (files) that can be recognized CD-2i recognizes song files that were recorded with a recording mode of WAV 16bit and a sample rate of 44.1kHz, and that meet all of the following conditions.

Track length must be longer than four seconds. Track title must not contain double-byte characters (e.g., Japanese). Track (file) must be located in the root directory of the SD memory card.

* The CD-2i is able to display and play back a maximum of 99 tracks.

* The CD-2i will not recognize the file if even one of the above conditions is not met.

File name display fig.WriteCD03-e.eps

If the song was recorded on the Roland R-09 series, the song name (file name) will be displayed in Step 5 of Page 97.

fig.WriteCD02-e.eps

Even if a song recorded on a device such as the Roland R-09 series is too large to fit on a single CD-R/RW disc, it can automatically be divided across multiple CD-R/RW discs.

If you want to automatically divide a large song and write it across multiple discs, make the following setting in Step 5 on Page 97.

In Step 5 (Page 97), specify the large song as the first of the songs you want to write.

The song will be divided automatically only if the song you specify as the first song is larger than a single CD-R/RW disc. In this case, you wont be able to specify additional songs to be added. After the first CD-R/RW disc has been ejected, the message Insert Disc will appear. Insert another CD-R/RW disc. When the disc is detected, writing will begin automatically. Continue inserting additional CD-R/RW discs as directed by the messages that appear. When all the data has been written, the message Write Completed. Another Disc? will appear. Continue with the procedure from Step 10 of Page 99.

* CD-R/RW discs that have no more space on them after the track has been written will be finalized automatically. For example, if a track is divided across two discs, as in the example shown in the illustration at the upper right, the first CD-R/RW disc will be finalized automatically.

Making a CD-R/RW Disc for Playback on Another CD Player (Finalize)

After finalization, it will no longer be possible to record or write additional material to that disc. You should finalize the disc when you have completed your music CD and dont need to write or record any more data.

* In order to perform this operation, youll need the included, dedicated AC adaptor.

1 Insert the CD-R/RW disc that you want to finalize.

2 Press the [EJECT ( )] button.

3 If youre sure you want to proceed, press the [ENTER] button. (If you decide not to finalize the disc, press the [EXIT] button.)

fig.finalize-mssg02-e.eps

The disc is finalized. During this process, a timer is displayed, counting down the time until finalization is completed.

When finalization is completed, the CD-R/RW disc is ejected. Your music CD is now ready.

Finalization is the process of writing final information (the number of songs, the song numbers, the playback times, etc.) to a CD-R/RW disc. When you finalize a CD-R/RW disc that was recorded or written by the CD-2i, that disc will be playable as a music CD in another CD player.

Whats finalization?

* If the CD-R/RW disc has already been finalized, the disc

will be ejected when you press the [EJECT ( )] button.

Count-down (min:sec)

We cannot guarantee that a music CD created on the CD-2i will play on all CD players. Depending on your CD players support for CD-R/RW discs, music CDs you create may not play correctly.

With a CD-RW disc, you can remove the finalization so that youll again be able to record or write to that disc. Removing Finalization (Page 96)

Reversing the Stereo Field of the Internal Mics

When using the internal mics (Page 40), the sound from the mic at the left side of the CD-2i will be recorded on the left channel (L), and the sound from the right mic will be recorded on the right channel (R).

If, as shown in the illustration below, the internal mics are pointed toward the performer on stage, the orientation of the internal mics will be reversed in comparison to the ears of the listeners, causing the recorded sound to be heard with a reversed stereo field.

In such cases, you can exchange the left and right channels of the internal mics. This way, the performance will be recorded just as you heard it.

CD-2i_e.book 130

Problems with the Sound (continued)

Problem Cause and Action See

Page

The sound recorded via the internal mics is not loud enough

Have you adjusted the input level of the internal mics?

Turn the [MIC] knob to raise the input level of the internal mics. 41

The recorded sound is noisy or distorted

Is the input level adjusted appropriately? Noise can tend to be become more noticeable if the sound being input

is at a relatively low level. On the other hand, distortion can crop up when the level is high. Try to always keep the input level adjusted to a setting that's appropriately matched to the volume of the sound you're inputting.

If you raise the input level when you're using a record player or an external microphone with limited sensitivity, any noise from the internal CD drive could become more noticeable and might be recorded along with your recording. If you feel dissatisfied with the outcome, try using the following procedure when recording.

Use batteries to power the unit. (23)

Record to SD memory card. (44, 49, 52, 55)

Use the AC adaptor to power the unit. (21)

Write the song data on the SD memory card to a CD. (97)

Adjust the input level so that the PEAK indicator lights briefly when loud sounds are input.

41, 45, 50, 56

Could the input level be raised for a jack to which no device is connected? Even if no device is connected, we recommend that you turn down the

input levelturn the knob all the way to the leftfor everything other than the audio source youre recording.

Could MIC SELECT be set to Internal? Even though you thought you were recording using an external mic, a

noisy recording may indicate that you were actually recording through the internal mics. If you want to record using an external mic, set to the EXT.

44

Is the output level set correctly? If you raise the output level too high, noise or distortion may occur in

the sound from the internal speakers. Turn the [OUTPUT LEVEL] knob to adjust the volume.

72

Unintended tone quality Could you have made bass or treble settings?

Set the bass and treble settings to 0. 74

An unwanted effect is applied to the sound

Could you have selected a reverb? Turn the reverb Off. 75

Volume changes are not recorded correctly according to the actual performance

Could the [MIC LEVEL] switch be set to the AUTO position? The AUTO position is suitable for recording human voices at a

meeting or lecture, and may be unsuitable for recording an instrumental performance. Change the setting to MANUAL, and turn the [MIC] knob to adjust the input level.
