IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply: Use of Batteries
Placement

301
●
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.
●
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.
352a
●
This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such
receivers.
352b
●
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.
302
●
The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long
hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a
cause for concern.
304a
●
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.
354a
●
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.
306b
●
Batteries are supplied with the unit. The life of these
batteries may be limited, however, since their primary
purpose was to enable testing.

Repairs and Data
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.
452
●
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 backed up on your
computer, or 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.
360
●
Depending on the material and temperature of the
surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may
discolor or mar the surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber
feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please
make sure that the unit will not slip or move
accidentally.
Memory Backup
503
●
The internal clock settings will be lost if the unit is left
for several days with the batteries removed and the
adaptor disconnected.
Maintenance
401a
●
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.
402
●
Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or
deformation.

Additional Precautions
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).
551
●
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
your computer, or written down on paper (when
possible).
559a
●
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.
562
●
552
●
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.
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the
contents of data that was stored SD card once it has
been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability
concerning such loss of data.
553
●
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.
Before Using Cards
554
●
555
●
Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
Using SD Cards
A small amount of noise may be heard from the display
during normal operation.
704
●
Carefully insert the SD card all the way in—until it is
firmly in place.
556
●
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.
705
●
Never touch the terminals of the SD card. Also, avoid
getting the terminals dirty.

Recording
Higher sampling rates will provide higher audio
quality. You’ll need to use a high sampling rate if you
want to accurately reproduce the high-frequency
range.
Specifying the Recording Quality
You can specify the audio quality with which the
recording will be made.
The audio quality setting is a combination of the
sampling rate and the Rec Mode. The audio quality
will affect the size of the file, and will also affect the
length of time over which recording can take place
with an SD card.
Consider whether audio quality or length of
recording are more important for your situation, and
choose the quality that’s appropriate for you.
• Higher sampling rate settings will increase the
size of the file, and will shorten the available
recording time.
• If you are recording audio material that you’ll
be editing into a video production, we
recommend that you use the 48 kHz sampling
rate.
• The R-05 is not able to convert the sampling
rate of a recorded file.

The level meter will move according to the

Adjusting the Recording Level
fig.inputlevel-test.eps_80
The R-05 is designed to let you record a wide range
of sounds. By adjusting the recording level (volume)
appropriately for the source you’re recording, you’ll
be able to record with optimal quality. The basic
principle when adjusting the level is to get the level
as high as possible without allowing distortion to
occur. This principle applies whether you’re using the
built-in mics, an external mic, or LINE IN.
If you’re going to record a musical performance
such as an instrument or vocal, you should play
the loudest passage of the song.

expressiveness of the music. If you want to
record the sound with its natural dynamics
intact, leave the Limiter/AGC turned off.
Using Limiter or AGC
Use the [LIMITER] switch on the rear panel to switch
the Limiter or AGC (Auto Gain Control) on/off.
Normally, you can leave this off.

• You can’t use the rehearsal function if AGC is

The Limiter is a function that compresses the
recording level when the input sound becomes too
loud, thus preventing distortion.
AGC increases the recording level if the input is low,
and decreases the level if the input is too high, thus
recording at a consistent level. This allows recording
at a consistent volume during a meeting that might
include people who are distant or nearby, and both
loud voices and soft voices.
If you record an instrumental performance or
music with Limiter/AGC turned on, the
performance will be recorded with the natural
