• Before using this unit, make sure to read the instructions below, and the Owner's Manual.

• 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.

WARNING

• 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.

• 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!

WARNING

• This unit, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long period of time at a high volume level, or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should immediately stop using the unit, and consult an audiologist.

• Immediately turn the power off, remove the AC adaptor from the outlet, and request servicing by your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Edirol/Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information" page when:

• The AC adaptor, the power-supply cord, or the plug has been damaged; or

• If smoke or unusual odor occurs
• Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled onto the unit; or
• The unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise has become wet); or

• The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.

• In households with small children, an adult should provide supervision

until the child is capable of following all the rules essential for the safe operation of the unit.

• Protect the unit from strong impact. (Do not drop it!)

WARNING

• Do not force the unit's power-supply cord to share an outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be especially careful when using extension cords—the total power used by all devices you have connected to the extension cord's outlet must never exceed the power rating (watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat up and eventually melt through.
  Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Edirol/Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information" page.
• Batteries must never be recharged, heated, taken apart, or thrown into fire or water.

CAUTION

• Carefully follow the installation instructions for batteries, and make sure you observe the correct polarity.

• Avoid using new batteries together with used ones. In addition, avoid mixing different types of batteries.

• Remove the batteries whenever the unit is to remain unused for an extended period of time.

• If a battery has leaked, use a soft piece of cloth or paper towel to wipe all remnants of the discharge from the battery compartment. Then install new batteries. To avoid inflammation of the skin, make sure that none of the battery discharge gets onto your hands or skin. Exercise the utmost caution so that none of the discharge gets near your eyes. Immediately rinse the affected area with running water if any of the discharge has entered the eyes.

• Never keep batteries together with metallic objects such as ballpoint pens, necklaces, hairpins, etc.

• Used batteries must be disposed of in compliance with whatever regulations for their safe disposal that may be observed in the region in which yo

In addition to the items listed under "USING THE UNIT SAFELY" on page 5, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply

• 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.
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.
• Since this device draws a relatively large amount of electrical current, we recommend that you use it with the AC adaptor unless AC power is unavailable. Should you prefer to use batteries, please use the alkaline type.
• 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.
• 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 farther 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 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.

• 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.
• 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.

Maintenance

• 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.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Repairs and Data

• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit's 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.

Additional Precautions

• 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 periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the unit's memory on a hard disk.
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored on a memory card once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
• 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 display.
• A small amount of noise may be heard from the display during normal operation.
• 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.
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit's 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).
• 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.
• Use a cable 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 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.
• Depending on the conditions in which you use the R-1, you may notice a slight sensation of discomfort or roughness when touching the R-1 itself or a metal part of a connected mic. This is due to an extremely small electrical charge which poses absolutely no danger to the human body. If this bothers you, you can use the R-1 on battery power as desired.

Before Using Cards Using DATA Cards

• Carefully insert the DATA card all the way in—until it is firmly in place.

• Never touch the terminals of the DATA card. Also, avoid getting the terminals dirty.
• This unit's memory card slot accepts CompactFlash memory cards. Microdrive storage media are not compatible.

• CompactFlash 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 (storage temperature: -25 to 85^ C).
• Do not allow cards to become wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify the cards.

Copyright

• Unauthorized recording, distribution, sale, lending, public performance, broadcasting, or the like, in whole or in part, of a work (musical composition, video, broadcast, public performance, or the like) whose copyright is held by a third party is prohibited by law.
• When transmitting audio signals to an external device via a digital connection, this device is able to transmit data without being subjected to certain restrictions of the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS). This is because the unit is intended solely for musical production, and is designed not to be subject to restrictions as long as it is used to record works (such as your own compositions) that do not infringe on the copyrights of others. (SCMS is a feature that prohibits second-generation and later copying through a digital connection. It is built into MD recorders and other consumer digital-audio equipment as a copyright-protection feature.)

Basic connections

• Before making connections with other equipment, you must minimize the volume and turn off the power of all of your equipment in order to prevent malfunction and/or speaker damage.
• If you use a cable with a built-in resistor, the volume of the device connected to the line input jack (LINE IN) may be too low. If so, you should use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.

The R-1 does not have built-in speakers. In order to hear the playback, you will need to provide headphones or speakers.

You can use the R-1's headphone jack as a digital output (optical out) for connection to a digital device, or as a line output for connection to an analog device. Use the appropriate cable for your device.

For details, refer to "Connecting headphones" (p. 22), "Connecting digital speakers (digital devices)" (p. 23), or "Connecting analog speakers (analog devices)" (p. 24)

• Howling could be produced depending on the location of microphones relative to speakers. This can be remedied by:

• Changing the orientation of the microphone(s).

• Relocating microphone(s) at a greater distance from speakers.
• Lowering volume levels.

Connecting the AC adaptor and turning on the power

• Once the connections have been completed (p. 18), turn on power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices.

You will need an audio cable for connection to the R-1's line output jack.

Cables are not included; you will need to provide them separately.

Now you can use the R-1 for recording or playback as described in "Basic recording methods" (p. 29) or "Playback methods" (p. 38).

4 Gradually turn the output volume toward the right to increase the volume. You can also adjust the volume of your speakers.

Memory card handling

The R-1 uses CompactFlash memory cards.

Types of CompactFlash that you can use

• CompactFlash cards of up to 4 GB (Gigabytes) in size can be used.
  Even when using a high-capacity CompactFlash card, recording will stop when the file being recorded reaches 2 GB in size. The file will automatically be saved, and recording will end.
• Depending on the manufacturer or model, some CompactFlash cards may not be capable of successful recording or playback on the R-1.

• Micro Drives cannot be used. If you inadvertently use a Micro Drive, we can take no responsibility for any damage or malfunctions that may occur to the Micro Drive or to the R-1.

• Never insert or remove a CompactFlash card while this unit's power is on. Doing so may corrupt the unit's data or the data on the CompactFlash card.

• Carefully insert the CompactFlash card all the way in-until it is firmly in place.

Recordable times on a CompactFlash card

The following table shows the approximate lengths of time you can record using CompactFlash cards.

• The recording times listed above are approximate. The actual length of time you are able to record may be slightly different than shown here, so please allow some leeway in your recording plans.
• Use the R-1 itself to format the CompactFlash card.
• Use the included AC adaptor when recording continuously for an extended time.
• If there are multiple files, the total time that can actually be recorded will be less than the time shown above.
• The R-1 can handle up to 255 files. Once the number of files in the CompactFlash card reaches 255, you won't be able to make any more recordings.

Inserting and removing a card

Inserting

1 Turn off the power of the R-1.
2 Open the memory card slot cover, and insert the CompactFlash card with its back side facing upward. Push the CompactFlash card all the way into the slot.
3 Close the memory card slot cover.

• With a CompactFlash card, the reverse side is the side that has a raised lip when you're looking at the edge not containing the terminals.

To insert a CompactFlash card, position it so its reverse side faces upwards, and gently push the card into the slot. If you attempt to forcibly insert the card in the wrong direction, you may damage the R-1 or the CompactFlash card. Please use caution.

Removing

1 Turn off the power of the R-1.
2 Open the memory card slot cover.
Push the eject button and remove the CompactFlash card.

Types of files that the R-1 can handle

The R-1 can handle the following types of files.

Choose the type of file that is appropriate for your needs, depending on whether audio quality or recording time is more important for your situation.

		Sampling frequency (kHz)	Bit rate (kbps)
MP3	Playback	8, 11.025, 16, 22.050, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 * All converted to 44.1 kHz for playback	8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160, 192, 224, 256, 320, VBR
	Recording	44.1	64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 256, 320
		Sampling frequency (kHz)	bit depth (bits)
WAV	Playback	8, 11.025, 16, 22.050, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 * All converted to 44.1 kHz for playback	8, 16, 24
	Recording	44.1	16, 24

• Recording is always in stereo.

WAV files are not compressed; they capture all of the information in the recorded sound. This means that they will have better audio quality than MP3 files. However, WAV files are also much larger than MP3 files.

What is Bit Rate?

Bit Rate indicates the speed at which data is transferred. This is given in units of "bps" (bits per second). Higher bit rates will deliver better audio quality. A higher bit rate conveys more information, meaning that the sound will be represented more accurately; but this also means that the file size will increase. With a lower bit rate, the audio quality will be lower but the file size will also be smaller.

What is VBR?

VBR stands for Variable Bit Rate. This means that the bit rate is varied according to the type of sound at each moment in the recording. A higher bit rate is used when there is a larger amount of sonic information to be captured, and a lower bit rate is used when there is a lesser amount.

Recording with the internal microphone

The R-1's internal microphone is stereo. Audio entering the microphone at the right side of the R-1 is recorded on the right (R) channel, while the audio picked up by the left microphone is recorded on the left (L) channel.

If you want to use the internal microphone, don't connect anything to the mic input jack or line input jack.

If a microphone or cable is connected to the mic input jack or line input jack, these inputs will take priority, and the internal microphone will not be used.

Make sure that the R-1's power is turned off. Also set the input volume to the minimum position.

If you want to hear (monitor) the sound while recording from the internal microphone, connect a set of headphones to the phones jack and use them for monitoring. If you connect external speakers and attempt to use them for monitoring, acoustic feedback will occur, so don't attempt to monitor through speakers.

2

Turn on the R-1's power as described in "Connecting the AC adaptor and turning on the power" (p. 19).

3

If you're recording via the internal microphone, set the mic type select switch to DYN.

4

Refer to "Types of files that the R-1 can handle" (p. 28), and specify the type of file that you want to record. To make your selection or to check the current selection, use Setup mode 07 Record Mode (p. 54).

Adjust the input level as follows.

Adjusting the input level

1. Press the REC button.

The R-1 enters recordingstandby mode. The display indicates the remaining amount of time that the R-1 can record for the type of file (recording quality

Remaining recording time

• The song name shown in Record Standby mode is the name of the file that will be newly created when recording is finished.

2. Press the DISPLAY button.

3. Play (or perform) the sounds that you actually intend to

record, and position the R-1's internal microphone where it can pick up the sound.

• If you want to apply an effect to the sound while you record it, adjust the input level while the effect is turned on (i.e., applied).

4. While the sound plays, gradually increase the input volume.

Adjust the level so that the input level indicators shown in

the display do not reach the righthmost. (Position A in the above illustration) If the recording level is too low, you won't be able to record very soft sounds. If the recording level is too high, loud sounds will be distorted, causing crackles in the recorded sound.

• If the material you are recording occasionally contains sudden loud sounds, such as the attack of a drum in a band performance or sudden laughter during a quiet conversation, we recommend that you use the Limiter (06 Limiter, p. 54). When doing so, adjust the input level appropriately for the principal type of sound you are recording—not for the sudden loud sounds that sometimes occur.

When you use the Limiter, the input level is automatically adjusted so that the audio input level doesn't get excessively high. When using the Limiter, you should adjust the input level so that the symbol at the position in the illustration appears only occasionally.

Press the REC button.

Recording will begin.

• You can also start recording by pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button.

If you move the input volume control in Record Standby mode or during recording, the input level will change. Be careful that you don't operate the input volume control inadvertently. Even if the HOLD switch is ON, the input volume is not affected by the HOLD function.

When you're finished recording, press the STOP button.

If you want to pause recording, press the PLAY/PAUSE button. To defeat pause and resume recording, press the PLAY/PAUSE button again.

The recorded data will be saved as a file on the CompactFlash card. The display will indicate the file name of the recorded data, and that file will be selected.

• The file name is created automatically, using this format: R1_0001.MP3. The 0001 portion will be the number that follows the highest-numbered file existing on the CompactFlash card.
• The file is created at the root level of the CompactFlash card. Folders (directories) are not created.
• Since the R-1 does not contain an internal clock, all files will have a creation date of January 1, 2002.

To listen to the data you just recorded, press the PLAY/PAUSE button. For other playback methods, refer to "Playback methods" (p. 38).

Recording with an external microphone

The R-1 can use dynamic microphones and the miniature plug-in powered condenser microphones that are designed to be connected to the recording jack of an MD (Mini Disc) recorder or the microphone jack of a computer.

If you use a condenser microphone, you must use one that is designed for plug-in power. If you connect the wrong type of microphone or a conventional stereo mini-plug microphone, your equipment may be damaged.

Make sure that the R-1's power is turned off. Set the input volume to the minimum position.

If anything is connected to the line input jack, the input from the mic input jack will be ignored. If you want to record via the mic input jack, don't connect anything to the line input jack.

Turn on the R-1's power as described in "Connecting the AC adaptor and turning on the power" (p. 19).

Specify the type of file you want to record, as described in "Types of files that the R-1 can handle" (p. 28). You can use Setup mode 07 Record Mode (p. 54) to specify the desired setting or to check the current setting.

Recording from a cassette tape or CD

This section explains how to record audio from an external device via the line input jack.

• The R-1 does not have a digital input jack.

As an example, here's how to record from a CD player into the R-1.

CD/MD player, cassette deck, etc.

The microphone input is disabled if you connect a device or cable to the line input jack. This means that you cannot record the microphone input and line input mixed together. If something is connected to both the line input jack and the mic input jack, only the sound entering the line input jack will be recorded.

1 Make sure that the R-1's power is turned off. Set the input volume to the minimum position.
2 Turn on the R-1's power as described in "Connecting the AC adaptor and turning on the power" (p. 19).
3 Specify the type of file you want to record, as described in "Types of files that the R-1 can handle" (p. 28). You can use Setup mode 07 Record Mode (p. 54) to specify the desired setting or to check the current setting.
4 Use an audio cable to connect the output jacks of your CD player to the R-1's line input jack.

Connecting the R-1 to your computer

Use the AC adaptor when connecting the R-1 to your computer.

• When connecting the R-1 to your computer via a USB cable, you must use the AC adaptor to prevent the batteries from running down while connected.

1

Insert a CompactFlash card into the R-1.

2

If the R-1's power switch is off, turn it on.

3

Use a USB cable to connect the R-1 to your computer.

The R-1 will be detected by your computer.

If no CompactFlash card is inserted in the R-1 when you connect it to your computer, the R-1's display will indicate No Card. In this case, the R-1 will not be detected by your computer. Your computer will also fail to detect the R-1 if the R-1 is in Setup mode. Unplug the USB cable that connects the R-1 to your computer, return to step 1 of this procedure, and insert the CompactFlash card.

The R-1's CompactFlash card will be recognized by your computer as follows.

Windows	When the card is recognized by My Computer or Explorer, it will appear with the name Removable Disk.
Mac OS X	The card will appear on the desktop with a name of NO NAME.
Mac OS 9	The card will appear on the desktop with a name of Untitled.

• If you change the above name after the card has been recognized by your computer, it will subsequently appear with the name you specified.
• If you're using Mac OS 9, format the CompactFlash card on your Macintosh, and then re-format it on the R-1.

4

Now you can copy the desired files from the R-1's CompactFlash card to your computer, or from your computer to the R-1's CompactFlash card.

You can copy files by dragging and dropping them.

Disconnecting the R-1 from your computer

Here's how to disconnect the R-1 from your computer. You must use the following procedure to cancel the connection, and then disconnect the USB cable.

Do not switch off power to the R-1, disconnect the USB cable, or remove the CompactFlash card while the R-1 is still connected to your computer.

Windows

1 In the Windows task tray, double-click the Safely Remove Hardware icon ( ). The Safely Remove Hardware dialog box will appear.

Windows Me	Removable Disk

3 In the dialog box, click [Stop].
4 When the Stop Hardware Device dialog box appears, select the item that indicates the R-1's CompactFlash card, and click [OK].
5 When your computer indicates "The USB Mass Storage Device can be removed safely," you can disconnect the USB cable between the R-1 and your computer. Alternatively, you can switch off power to the R-1.

Macintosh

1 Cancel the connection with the R-1 displayed on the desktop.

In Mac OS X, drag the R-1's CompactFlash icon (NO NAME) to the of the dock. Normally, when you drag to the trash can located at the right edge of the dock, the indication will change from the trash can to , allowing you to cancel the connection. In Mac OS 9, drag the R-1's CompactFlash icon (untitled) to the trash.

2 When the icon has disappeared from the desktop, you can disconnect the USB cable between the R-1 and your computer. Alternatively, you can switch off power to the R-1.

What are effects?

In the context of a digital audio device such as the R-1, "effects" are digital processing techniques that can be applied to a sound to modify it; for example, by making it brighter or giving it more impact. You can also make speech more intelligible, or reduce unwanted noise.

The R-1 provides various effects, which are listed on the pages that follow. You can apply an effect to the input sound and record the processed sound, or apply an effect to the sound that is being played back by the R-1.

If you apply effects while recording, the volume and tonal character of the recorded sound will differ from the original sound. Particularly if you are applying an "aggressive" effect, you should use headphones to monitor the sound while still in the recording-standby mode to make sure that the sound is not clipping or distorting. We also recommend that you make a test recording beforehand.

Clipping

Clipping occurs when an effect or amplification causes the audio level (volume) to exceed the maximum level that a device can handle. This will cause distortion or a "buzzy" sound during loud passages.

For details on how to make effect settings, refer to "Applying an effect" (p. 52).

If you press the EFFECT button during recording or playback, the effect will be switched on or off. To prevent the effect from being switched on or off unintentionally, we recommend that you turn the HOLD switch on.

Effect list

01	Easy EQ	Eleven settings are provided for use with styles such as rock, pop, or dance. Each setting modifies the tonal character (frequency response) appropriately for the selected style of music. For example, the Rock setting boosts the low and high frequency ranges to give the sound greater impact. The Pop setting makes it easier to hear the range in which the melody is usually played. The Vocal setting makes the lyrics more audible. The Flat setting simply outputs the sound without any change in tonal character. Internally, this effect uses a ten-band graphic equalizer.	p. 49
02	For Speech	This effect is appropriate for material that is mainly a speaking voice, such as conversation or dialog. It clarifies the voice, and also reduces the sibalance (unpleasant exaggeration of sounds beginning with "s") that can occur when recording with a microphone. Internally, this effect combines a de-esser and an enhancer.	p. 49
03	Voice Perform	This effect can completely transform the character of a voice by modifying the pitch of the sound. You can use the provided settings to create comical voices, low monster-like voices, or voices that have a "springy" character. Internally, this combines a pitch shifter and a delay.	p. 49
04	Editable EQ	This is a ten-band graphic equalizer with adjustable gain. For each band, you can adjust the gain in a range of -12 dB+12 dB to modify the tonal character of the sound.	p. 49
05	Noise Reducer	This effect reduces the "hissing" or "rushing" background noise that may be heard during silent portions of a recording, or the hiss that is often heard on an analog record or cassette tape. Internally, this combines a noise gate and a notch filter.	p. 49
06	Hum Noise Cut	This effect reduces the low-pitched "hum" that can occur when recording from a microphone or when a motorized device is located nearby. Internally, this is a notch filter.	p. 50
07	Reverb	When you listen to sound, you are hearing not only the sound that comes directly from the source to your ears, but also the sound that reflects off the floor and walls. These reflections are called "reverberation" (reverb), and their character will vary depending on the size of the room and the material of which the walls are constructed. This effect adds simulated reverberation to the original sound, producing a natural-sounding impression of spaciousness.	p. 50
08	Int-Mic Rec.	This effect modifies the character of the sound recorded from the internal mic or a miniature condenser mic connected to the mic input jack, giving it the character of sound recorded from a larger mic. It can simulate the characteristics of famous mics used in recording studios, giving your sound a professional touch. This effect is particularly useful when applied during recording.	p. 50
09	Ext-Mic Rec.	This effect modifies the character of the sound recorded from a typical small dynamic mic connected to the mic input jack, giving it the character of sound recorded from a larger mic. It can simulate the characteristics of famous mics used in recording studios, giving your sound a professional touch. This effect is particularly useful when applied during recording.	p. 50
10	Mastering	You may sometimes feel that the material you record is lacking in definition or clarity. Also in some cases, there may be excessive volume differences between loud and soft passages, or it may be difficult to hear soft sounds that occur simultaneously with loud sounds. For example when recording your band performance, there might be an excessive difference in volume between the intro and the break. Or when recording conversation, there will be a difference in volume between someone near the mic and someone farther from the mic. The Mastering effect processes such sounds to give them better definition and a more consistent volume. You can also use this to enhance the playback of material you've already recorded on the R-1, or to enhance material as you're recording it into the R-1 from media such as cassette tape. Internally, this combines an enhancer and a two-band (low and high) compressor.	p. 50
11	Center Cancel	This effect cancels the sounds that are located at the center of a stereo-recorded song. You can use this to remove the vocal from a song, leaving only the accompaniment. However this will not be as effective if special effects have been used to create a broader stereo field or if the recording contains a large amount of reverberation.	p. 51
12	Tuner	The tuner is a useful tool for use with a musical instrument; it is not an “effect” that modifies the original sound. This produces a sine wave of a fixed pitch at the notes C, D, E, ... relative to A=440 Hz. You can use this reference pitch when tuning your musical instrument. Internally, this is a fixed-pitch oscillator. Even if you record while the tuner is sounding, the sound of the tuner will not be recorded.	p. 51
13	Metronome	The metronome is a useful tool for use with a musical instrument; it is not an “effect” that modifies the original sound. You can specify the time signature and the tempo of the metronome. Even if you record while the metronome is sounding, the sound of the metronome will not be recorded.	p. 51

If you experience difficulties, read this section first. It contains tips on how to resolve various problems.

Problems with recording

Sound recorded from the mic is heard only from the L (left) channel

Some mics are stereo, while others are monaural. If you are using a monaural mic, the sound will be recorded on the L (left) channel.

In this case, you can use "System settings (Setup mode)" (p. 54) 10 Input Select to select MONO as the mic type. This setting is remembered even when the power is turned off.

Refer to: "System settings (Setup mode)" (p. 54)

Can't start recording from recording-standby mode

Check the remaining space on your CompactFlash memory card. Recording is not possible if there is little time remaining on the card. In this case, the R-1 will enter recording-standby mode, but you will return to the play mode screen if you attempt to start recording by pressing the record button or play button.

In recording-standby mode, the screen shows the amount of remaining recordable time. An indication of 0:00:00 means that there is no time left. Please check the display.

Refer to: "Recordable times on a CompactFlash card" (p. 29)

Can't use the internal mic (Can't use an external mic)

The internal mic cannot be used if a mic, cable, or device is connected to the mic input jack or line input jack. If you want to use the internal mic, don't connect anything to the other input jacks.

Refer to: "Mic input jack" (p. 15), "Line input jack" (p. 15), "Recording with the internal microphone" (p. 29)

Recorded sound is distorted

The sound will distort if the input volume is too high. Adjust the input level appropriately as described in "Adjusting the input level" (p. 30), (p. 33), (p. 36). In some cases, the sound will distort if you apply an effect while recording. Adjust the input level while the effect is applied. You can also try adjusting the effect parameters so that distortion does not occur.

Refer to: "Adjusting the input level" (p. 30), (p. 33), (p. 36) "Applying an effect" (p. 52)

Can't record

Check the remaining space on your CompactFlash memory card. Recording is not possible if there is little time remaining on the card. In recording-standby mode, the screen shows the amount of remaining recordable time. An indication of 0:00:00 means that there is no time left. Please check the display.

The R-1 can handle up to 255 files. Once the number of files in the CompactFlash card reaches 255, you won't be able to make any more recordings.

In this case, the R-1 will enter recording-standby mode, but you will return to the play mode screen if you attempt to start recording by pressing the record button or play button.

Refer to: "Recordable times on a CompactFlash card" (p. 29)

Recording is not possible if the CompactFlash memory card is not inserted correctly. If the display indicates No Card, the R-1 has not detected a CompactFlash memory card. Turn off the power, and re-insert the CompactFlash memory card.

Refer to: "Memory card handling" (p. 25)

Recording will not occur correctly if the input level specified by the input volume control is too low. Please set the input level correctly.

Refer to: "Adjusting the input level" (p. 30), (p. 33), (p. 36)

If you want to record via a connected mic, connect it correctly to the mic input jack. You should also check the setting of the mic type select switch.

Refer to: "Mic input jack" (p. 15), "Line input jack" (p. 15), "Recording with the internal microphone" (p. 29)

A CompactFlash memory card will not work correctly unless it has been formatted on the R-1. If you used your computer to format the CompactFlash card, it may not be formatted correctly for the R-1. In this case, recording will stop immediately after you begin recording, an indication of No Song will appear, and recording will not be possible.

Refer to: " Formatting a CompactFlash card" (p. 27)

I used a monaural mic to record, but a stereo file was created

The R-1 normally records in stereo. Even if you connect a monaural mic and set the Setup mode item Input Select to MONO, a stereo file will be created with the same sound recorded on the left and right (L, R) tracks.

Even if I adjust the recording level, the sound is distorted if I turn on the effect

Since some effects work by boosting a portion of the sound, they may cause the overall volume of the song to increase. This may cause the sound to clip, producing distortion. If this occurs, take either of the following actions.

• Lower the LEVEL value in the parameters of the effect
  This will lower the overall volume, but the character of the effect will be preserved.
• Lower the input volume to decrease the volume before the effect is applied. This is an easy adjustment to make, but may affect the character of the effect.

Problems with playback

No sound

The output volume may be too low. Try gradually increasing the output volume.

Refer to: "Output volume" (p. 16)

Make sure that your headphones or speakers are connected correctly.

Refer to: "Headphone/line output/digital output jack" (p. 16)

"Getting ready to use the R-1" (p. 18)

The CompactFlash memory card contains a song, but the R-1 won't play it

Make sure that the file name is appropriate. The R-1 can't use files with a name beginning with ". ." (period).

The R-1 can only play back files with a filename extension of .mp3 (MP3) or .wav (WAV).

Refer to: "Types of files that the R-1 can handle" (p. 28)

Can't play back

Make sure that the file name is appropriate. The R-1 can't use files with a name beginning with ". ." (period).

The R-1 can only play back files with a filename extension of .mp3 (MP3) or .wav (WAV).

Also, playback is not possible if the file has been corrupted.

Refer to: "Types of files that the R-1 can handle" (p. 28)

A song I didn't want is played back

Could the PLAY MODE be set to Shuffle? If so, the R-1 will randomly select the song to be played next. This will cause unexpected songs to be played.

Refer to: "PLAY MODE (Playback mode)" (p. 43)

Other problems

Power won't turn on

Make sure that the AC adaptor is connected correctly.

If you're using batteries, check the polarity of the batteries, and make sure that each battery is firmly seated in the holder. It is also possible that the batteries have run down; try a fresh set of batteries.

Refer to: "Connecting the AC adaptor and turning on the power" (p. 19)

"Installing the batteries and turning on the power" (p. 20)

If the R-1 will not turn on even though there is no problem with the AC adaptor or batteries, it is possible that the R-1 has malfunctioned.

Please contact "Service Information" listed at the end of this manual.

My computer doesn't detect the R-1 when I connect it

Your computer will not correctly detect the R-1 if no CompactFlash memory card is inserted. If the R-1 does not appear on your computer desktop, check that a CompactFlash memory card is correctly inserted.

Refer to: "Memory card handling" (p. 25)

Pressing the MENU button doesn't take me to Setup mode

You can't enter Setup mode during playback or recording. Stop playback or recording, and then press the MENU button to enter Setup mode.

If the R-1 is playing, recording, or in recording-standby mode, pressing the MENU button won't put you in Setup mode.

Refer to: "System settings (Setup mode)" (p. 54)

Backlight turns off

If you're using the R-1 on batteries, the backlight may turn off when the R-1 has not been operated for a certain length of time, depending on the LCD Backlight setting.

Refer to: "System settings (Setup mode)" (p. 54)

The R-1 goes to sleep

If you're using the R-1 on batteries, it may go to sleep if no operation has been performed for a certain length of time, depending on the Sleep Timer setting. You can use Setup mode 11 Sleep Timer to change this setting.

Refer to: "System settings (Setup mode)" (p. 54)

The settings I made have disappeared

If all of the effects and Setup mode settings you made have returned to their original state, it is possible that you inadvertently restored the R-1 to its factory-set state.

Refer to: "Restoring the factory settings" (p. 65)

I used a USB cable to connect the R-1 to my computer, but it was not detected

If the R-1 is in Setup mode, it will not be detected by your computer. Unplug the USB cable that connects the R-1 to your computer, exit Setup mode, and make the connection again.

Refer to: “Connecting the R-1 to your computer” (p. 44)

The effect parameters I edited have been initialized

The effect parameter settings you edit are preserved as long as you don't change the effect type; if you change the effect type, the settings will revert to the initial values. If you make detailed changes to an effect such as "Editable EQ," we suggest that you write down the settings on paper.

Refer to: "Applying an effect" (p. 52)

When selecting a song, the song names are slow to appear

If a file is damaged or invalid, if an MP3 file is in a format that the R-1 does not support, or if the file is very large, the R-1 may take some time to determine whether it is able to play the file even if the file has an extension of .MP3 or .WAV.

This may cause the display to be slow when selecting files.

Refer to: "Types of files that the R-1 can handle" (p. 28)

"Normal playback" (p. 38)

Acoustic feedback occurs when monitoring through headphones

If you're using open-air type headphones to monitor the sound while recording, moving close to the R-1 may allow sound from the headphones to be picked up by the microphones, causing acoustic feedback. The R-1's built-in microphones will pick up even faint sounds, so be careful not to get too close.

Refer to: "Basic connections" (p. 18)
