Important notes

VIMA

JM-8

•When connecting a USB storage device, firmly insert it all the way

into the EXTERNAL MEMORY port.

• Do not touch the pins of the EXTERNAL MEMORY port or allow

them to become dirty.

•While using an external USB storage device, please observe the

following points when handling it:

• To prevent damage from static electrical charges, discharge any

static electricity that might be present in your body before han-

dling a USB storage device.

• Do not touch the terminals with your fingers or any metal

object.

• Do not bend or drop a USB storage device, or subject it to

strong impact.

• Do not leave a USB storage device in direct sunlight or in loca-

tions such as a closed-up automobile.

• Do not allow a USB storage device to become wet.

• Do not disassemble or modify your external USB storage device.

•When connecting a USB storage device, position it horizontally

with the JM-8’s EXTERNAL MEMORY port and insert it without

using excessive force. The EXTERNAL MEMORY port may be dam-

aged if you use excessive force when inserting a USB storage

device.

• Do not insert anything other than a USB storage device (e.g., wire,

coins, other types of device) into the EXTERNAL MEMORY port.

Doing so will damage the JM-8’s EXTERNAL MEMORY port.

• Do not apply excessive force to the connected USB storage device

or the JM-8’s EXTERNAL MEMORY port.

• Never connect your USB storage device to the JM-8 via a USB hub.

Before Using the CD drive

CD-R/RW drive handling

• Install the unit on a solid, level surface in an area free from vibra-

tion.

•Always remove the disc in the JM-8’s drive before switching the

JM-8 off.

• 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 con-

densation to form inside the drive, which will adversely affect the

operation of the drive and/or damage discs. When the unit has

been moved, allow it to become accustomed to the new environ-

ment (allow a few hours) before operating it.

• To insert a disk, push it gently but firmly into the drive—the drive

will pick it up and load it completely. To remove a disc, press the

EJECT button firmly.

• If you attempt to remove a CD from the drive while the drive is

operating, an error message could appear on the internal display.

• To prevent damage to the CD drive, always try to hold the CD in a

level position (not tilted in any direction) while inserting it into the

drive. Push it in firmly, but gently. Never use excessive force.

• Do not insert anything (wire, coins, other types of media) into the

disc tray other than discs bearing the “ ” logo. Doing so will

cause the CD drive to malfunction.

• Do not subject the JM-8 to vibration or shock while it is in use, or

move it while its power is on.

• The pickup is designed to be dust-proof. Do not use pickup cleaner

or similar products, since this may cause malfunctions.

CD-R/RW & CD-ROM handling

•When handling the discs, please observe the following.

• Do not touch the recording surface of the disc.

• Do not use in dusty areas.

• Do not leave the disc in direct sunlight or an enclosed vehicle.

• Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside (encoded sur-

face) of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD-ROM discs may not be read

properly. Keep your discs clean using a commercially available CD

cleaner.

• Keep CDs in their case when not in use.

• Do not leave a CD in the CD drive for an extended period of time.

• Bending a CD may make it unreadable and cause malfunctions.

• To hold a CD, insert a finger into the center hole

and grasp it between the hole and the outer edge.

Do not allow fingerprints or scratches to mar the

recording surface of the CD.

• Do not drop CDs or stack them.

• Do not place heavy objects on a CD or subject them to strong

impact.

• Do not affix adhesive labels to the label side of a CD. The CD may

be scratched if you use it with an adhesive label affixed.

•When writing a title on the label side of a CD, use a soft-tipped

writing instrument such as a felt-tipped pen.

• Read the cautions printed on the CD jacket before using a CD.

Hard disk handling

• 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

. We recommend that you con-

sider 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 that cannot be recorded

again by copying them to an external USB storage device. For

instructions on how to make such copy, refer to page 76.

Note that Roland assumes no liability whatsoever, including mon-

etary 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.

• Certain hard disk setup procedures and usage conditions may

result in the corruption of recorded data, malfunctioning, or phys-

ical damage to the disk, so be sure to observe the following pre-

cautions.

• Never switch off the JM-8 while playback or recording is run-

ning or while data are being read from, or written to, the hard

disk.

• Do not subject the hard disk to vibration or shock, especially

while the unit is in operation.

• 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.

• Ensure that the air vents on the bottom and top panels remain

unobstructed.

• Do not leave the unit in any environment subject to tempera-

ture extremes; for example, in a closed automobile in summer

or outdoors during winter.

• 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 immedi-

ately 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.

• 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. See “Turning the

power off” on p. 19.

• 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 Ser-

vice Center. Note, however, that it may not be possible to

recover any data from the hard disk once it has been lost.
