* Connection and operation of the VR-3EX with standard

computers running the operating systems described above

have been veried, but connection and operation with all

computers satisfying such conditions is not assured. Connection

or operation may be impossible due to dierences in setting

specications or the usage environment that are specic to the

equipment.

Making the Connection to a Computer

1. Using a USB cable, connect a USB 2.0 port on the

computer to the USB port on the VR-3EX.

2. Turn on the power to the VR-3EX (p. 17).

3. Start the computer.

4. Wait for communication between the VR-3EX and the

computer to be established.

When communication with the computer starts, the operating

system’s standard driver is automatically installed.

* The VR-3EX is seen as a USB video device or USB audio device by

the computer.

Connecting the AC Adaptor

Place the AC adaptor so the side with the indicator (see illustra-

tion) faces upwards and the side with textual information faces

downwards. The indicator will light when you plug the AC adaptor

into an AC outlet.

Power cord

(included)

To AC Outlet

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.

About the Grounding Terminal

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. This is due

to an innitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless.

However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground

terminal (see gure) 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.

Unsuitable places for connection

• Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)

• Gas pipes (may result in re or explosion)

• Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in

the event of lightning)
