The settings are saved on the USB flash drive, overwriting the older file.

Deleting Settings

1. Press the [MENU] button → select "Backup" → "Delete" then press the [ENTER] button.

2. Select the file to delete, then press the [ENTER] button.

3. The message "Push ENTER to execute." appears. To execute the operation, press the [ENTER] button. (If you want to cancel the operation, press the [MENU] button.)

The settings are deleted from the USB flash drive.

Recalling Settings

This recalls the settings for MEMORY 1 through 8 saved on a USB flash drive. Recalling the settings overwrites any values currently in MEMORY 1 through 8.

* The current settings remain when the settings for MEMORY 1 through 8 are recalled.

1. Press the [MENU] button → "Restore" then press the [ENTER] button.

2. Select the file to load, then press the [ENTER] button.

3. The message "Push ENTER to execute." appears. To execute the operation, press the [ENTER] button. (If you want to cancel the operation, press the [MENU] button.)

The settings are recalled.

Checking the Version Information

This displays the program version information for the V-1200HD itself (MAIN) and for expansion interfaces (EXP A and EXP B) connected at expansion slots A and B.

1. Press the [MENU] button and select "System," then press the [ENTER] button.

The program version information is displayed.

* When no expansion interfaces are inserted into expansion slots A and B, no version information is displayed at "EXP A" and "EXP B."

Formatting a USB Flash Drive

To use a USB flash drive with the V-1200HD, it must first be formatted with the unit.

NOTE

- The V-1200HD does not recognize unformatted USB flash drives. - Performing formatting causes all data already saved on the USB flash drive to be deleted. If the flash drive contains necessary data, back it up onto a computer or elsewhere before formatting the drive.

1. Connect the USB flash drive to the USB port on the front panel.

2. Press the [MENU] button and select "Format," then press the [ENTER] button.

3. The message "Push ENTER to execute." appears. To execute the operation, press the [ENTER] button. (If you want to cancel the operation, press the [MENU] button.)

Formatting of the USB flash drive is carried out.

NOTE

- When turning off the power to the V-1200HD, first remove the USB flash drive from the USB port before you turn off the power. If the power is turned off while a flash drive remains connected to the V-1200HD, the V-1200HD might fail to start correctly at the next powerup.

- Connect the flash drive to the USB port located on the front panel. (No operation takes place if the drive is connected to the USB port on the rear panel.)

- Carefully insert the USB flash drive all the way in—until it is firmly in place.

- Never turn off the power or disconnect the USB flash drives when the access lamp of USB flash drives are lit or blinking

- After connecting the USB flash drive, a short wait may be required until reading and writing data is possible.

Returning Settings to the Factory-Default State (Factory Reset)

This returns values that have been set to their factory defaults. If operation that differs from what is described in the owner's manual occurs even when the steps are followed correctly, try performing a factory reset.

NOTE

Executing a factory reset causes all settings made up to then to be lost.

1. Press the [MENU] button and select "Factory Reset," then press the [ENTER] button.

2. The message "Push ENTER to execute." appears. To execute the operation, press the [ENTER] button. (If you want to cancel the operation, press the [MENU] button.)

A factory reset is executed.

Symptom Cause Corrective action Page

	Is copyright-protected (HDCP) video being input?	Copyright-protected (HDCP) video signals can be input when they meet all of the following conditions.
		•Input is via the HDMI IN 3 or 4 connector.	p. 20
		•The HDCP setting is set to ON.
		•The 4:4:4 process is speci ed as the connection destination for HDMI IN 3 or 4.
No picture is input.	Do the settings match the video format of the input?	Set the process format of the V-1200HD to match the video format of the input to the 4:2:2 process.	p. 19
		For example, if the 4:2:2 process format on the V-1200HD is set to 1080/59.94i, the only video format that can be input to the 4:2:2 process is 1080/59.94i.
		You can input video formats other than the set process format to HDMI IN 3 and 4. For details, refer to “About HDMI IN 3 and 4” (p. 20).
	Is copyright-protected (HDCP) video being output? Check whether an HDCP-compatible monitor is being used. —
No picture is output.	Does the output-destination device (HDMI monitor, etc.) support the output setting speci ed on the V-1200HD?	On the V-1200HD, video in the same format as the process format set for the respective process is output.	p. 19
		For instance, if the process format for the 4:4:4 process is set to 1080/59.94p and video is output from the HDMI OUT 1 connector, video output is possible if the output-destination device (HDMI monitor, etc.) supports a 1080/59.94p signal.
	Are the patchbay settings correct?	Use an optional V-1200HDR unit or remote-control software to change the patchbay settings. (*1)	—
		Use an optional V-1200HDR unit or remote-control software to change the settings for the color space. (*1)	—
Colors are incorrect.	Does the color space of the video being input or output match the color space for the processing being done by the unit?	Depending on the device, the color space might be interlinked with the selection of DVI or HDMI or the selected format. In such cases, changing the color space on the input or output device might bring about improvement for the problem.	—
HDMI output shown on a display has its periphery cut off.	Are the display settings compatible?	In the case of an HDMI signal, overscanning might be performed automatically, depending on the display. Change the display's settings.	—
Remote control from a V-1200HDR unit or V-1200HD RCS is not possible.	Is the LINK indicator on the front panel dark?	Connect the V-1200HDR or V-1200HD RCS to the V-1200HD correctly.	p. 27
	Is an external power source whose voltage is outside the range of DC 22 V to 26 V being used?	Stop using the external power source and use the included AC power cord to supply from a power outlet.	p. 12
The body of the V-1200HD is extremely hot.	Has the cooling fan stopped?	Immediately stop use and contact a Roland Service Center. —
	Is the FAN indicator on the front panel ashing?
	Was the USB ash drive formatted on the unit?	When you're using a USB ash drive for the 1st time, be sure to format it on the unit.	p. 30
A USB flash drive cannot be read.	Was a non-Roland USB ash drive used?	Operation of non-Roland USB ash drives cannot be assured. Operation has been tested for commonly available USB ash drives, but operation with all USB ash drives is not assured. Depending on the manufacturer and type of the USB ash drive, correct operation may not be possible.	—
