MANUAL  
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  
automatically. Operating the [MIC]  
knob will not affect the input level.

Media Usable for Recording  
As its recording media, the CD-2e 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.

* For a list of recommended CD-R/RW disc manufacturers, refer to “Recommended CD-R/RW Disc  
Manufacturers” (Page 123).  
* In order for a CD-R/RW disc recorded on the CD-2e to be playable on another CD player, an operation called  
“finalizing” (Page 83) must be performed on that disc.  
*
We cannot guarantee that a music CD created on the CD-2e will play on all CD players. Depending on your  
CD player’s support for CD-R/RW discs, music CDs you create may or may not play correctly.  
Differences between CD-R discs and CD-RW discs  
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 you’ve 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 you’ve 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.  
To record your practicing  
To make a “sketchpad” of your musical ideas

Since the CD-2e 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.  
Depending on where the CD-2e 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. For details, refer to “Adjusting the Left/Right Volume Balance of the  
Internal Mics” (Page 105).  
but this is not a malfunction.  
If you’ve finished recording a CD-R/RW disc and would like to play that disc on another  
CD player, you’ll need to execute the “Finalize” operation. You can finalize the CD-R/RW

Making Fine Adjustments to the Playback Pitch (Pitch)  
This adjusts the pitch of the playback sound in one-cent steps. One cent is 1/100th of a  
semitone.  
Sometimes when you are practicing your instrument along with a CD, you may have  
difficulty because the CD playback is pitched slightly different than your instrument. In  
such cases, you can adjust the CD playback pitch to match your instrument.  
When you’re using an instrument that is not easily tuned, such as an acoustic piano, you  
can adjust the pitch of the CD so that it matches your instrument.

Creating a music CD from songs recorded on an EDIROL R-09  
“WAV 16-bit” and “44.1 kHz” is supported  
If you want to create a music CD using songs that were recorded on an EDIROL R-09,  
you must set the R-09’s recording mode to “WAV 16-bit” and sampling frequency to  
“44.1 kHz” before you record.  
Requirements for songs (files) that can be recognized  
Even if a song was recorded with a recording mode of “WAV 16-bit” and a sampling  
frequency of “44.1 kHz,” the CD-2e will not recognize it unless it satisfies 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.

Making a CD-R/RW Disc for Playback on Another  
CD Player (Finalize)  
What’s finalization?  
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-2e, that disc will be playable as a music CD  
in another CD player.  
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 don’t need to write  
or record any more data.  
* In order to perform this operation, you’ll need the included, dedicated AC adaptor.

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

When finalization is completed, the CD-R/RW disc is ejected. Your music CD is now  
ready.  
Important  
We cannot guarantee that a music CD created on the CD-2e will play on all CD players.  
Depending on your CD player’s 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 you’ll again be able to record  
or write to that disc. “Removing Finalization” (Page 78)

Reversing the Stereo Field of the Internal Mics  
When using the internal mics (Page 36), the sound from the mic at the left side of the CD-2e  
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.
