- Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its AC adaptor.

- Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts within it (except when this manual provides specific instructions directing you to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information" page.

- Never use or store the unit in places that are:

• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heat-generating equipment); or are
• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are
• Humid; or are
• Exposed to rain; or are
• Dusty; or are
• Subject to high levels of vibration.

• Make sure you always have the unit placed so it is level and sure to remain stable. Never place it on stands that could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.

- Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the installation matches the input voltage specified on the AC adaptor's body. Other AC adaptors may use a different polarity, or be designed for a different voltage, so their use could result in damage, malfunction, or electric shock.

WARNING

- Use only the attached power-supply cord. Also, the supplied power cord must not be used with any other device.

- Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the cord, producing severed elements and short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and shock hazards!

- Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.

About Ground Terminal

In some cases, depending on the environment in which the unit is installed, the surface of the panel may sometimes feel rough and grainy. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect ground terminal (see figure) with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight noise may result, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact nearest Edirol Service Center, or authorized Edirol/Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information" page.

Unsuitable places for connection

• Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
• Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)
- Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of lightning)

* To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit (should the plug be pulled out accidentally), and to avoid applying undue stress to the AC adaptor jack, anchor the power cord using the cord hook, as shown in the illustration.
- The LVS-400 does not have audio inputs so will not mix audio. Audio outputs can be connected directly to speakers or via an audio mixer if mixing of audio from multiple devices is necessary.
- No video cables come with this product. Please use appropriate video cables for connection with source devices or TV monitor/Projector.
- It is recommended to use composite cable rather than S-video cable where you need to connect devices long distances (unless using S-video amplifiers). If devices are installed closer to the LVS-400, it is recommended to use S-video cables so that you can obtain better image quality.
- If both video (composite) and S-video signals are input simultaneously to the same channel, the S-video signal will take priority.
- The same image is output simultaneously from the OUTPUT 1, OUTPUT 2, and S-VIDEO outputs.
- The LVS-400 inputs and outputs composite video via BNC connectors. Using the BNC connectors securely locks the connection. If connecting with RCA phono connectors, use the BNC-RCA phono adaptor included with the LVS-400 or another commercially available BNC-RCA adaptor to connect to the LVS-400's BNC connector.

Control the LVS-400 from an External Device

You can connect the LVS-400 with a MIDI device, and control the LVS-400 remotely.

What is MIDI?

MIDI stands for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface" a worldwide standard that allows performance data and other information to be exchanged among musical instruments. MIDI compatible devices can be connected together easily using MIDI cables. Once connected, performance data can readily be communicated between the two devices; or one can make settings for, as well as control the operation of the other device.

Correspondence Between Commands and MIDI Messages

Normally, after power up (with V-LINK off), the LVS-400 outputs the corresponding MIDI messages from its MIDI OUT when its buttons and knobs are operated.

Conversely, when any of the supported MIDI messages arrive at its MIDI IN, the LVS-400 performs the same functions that it would if its buttons or knobs were operated.

* MIDI message values are in hexadecimal notation.

Image not switching when fader is moved

If the same input is selected for both MAIN and INSERT while the EFFECTS MODE is set to OFF, moving the video fader to switch the images will not change the image that is output.

In addition, switching the main input while the insert effects are in use automatically cancels the insert effects, so to start using the insert effects again, first tilt the video fader completely to the MAIN side. Begin the insertion with the fader tilted all the way to MAIN.

Image not switching when main input is switched

Are you looking at a display connected to MONITOR OUT? Select OUTPUT in the Monitor Select buttons. Alternatively, you can connect the display to OUTPUT (the video output connector).

Images not switching as intended when the input is switched

You cannot use the same input simultaneously with both the composite and S-VIDEO connectors. The S-VIDEO takes priority in this case.

No picture, even though source device is producing a signal

Is the Output Control button switched off (flashing)? If it is switched off, the screen will be black. Press the flashing Output Control button to switch it to ON (lit), and the images are then output.

Transition effects not working

When the TIME setting knob is set near "0," no transition effect is attained when the main image is switched. You can obtain the effect by using a longer time setting.

In addition, if the unit is not operating as you expect, first connect a display to the output of the device connected to the LVS-400's input connector and confirm that the images are being output correctly.
