USING THE UNIT SAFELY
Checking and Preparations
010
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.
..........................................................................................................
011
Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable
material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind
(water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.
..........................................................................................................
012b
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 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.
..........................................................................................................
013
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.
..........................................................................................................
014
Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
..........................................................................................................
015
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.
..........................................................................................................
016
Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult
with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service
Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as
listed on the “Information” page.
..........................................................................................................
101b
The unit and the AC adaptor should be located so
their location or position does not interfere with
their proper ventilation.
..........................................................................................................
102c
Always grasp only the plug on the AC adaptor
cord when plugging into, or unplugging from, an
outlet or this unit.
..........................................................................................................
103b
At regular intervals, you should unplug the AC
adaptor and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe
all dust and other accumulations away from its
prongs. Also, disconnect the power plug from the
power outlet whenever the unit is to remain
unused for an extended period of time. Any
accumulation of dust between the power plug
and the power outlet can result in poor insulation
and lead to fire.
..........................................................................................................
104
Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming
entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be
placed so they are out of the reach of children.
..........................................................................................................
106
Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on
the unit.
..........................................................................................................
107c
Never handle the AC adaptor or its plugs with
wet hands when plugging into, or unplugging
from, an outlet or this unit.
..........................................................................................................
108b
Before moving the unit, disconnect the AC
adaptor and all cords coming from external
devices.
..........................................................................................................
110b
Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning
in your area, disconnect the AC adaptor from the
outlet.
..........................................................................................................
118a
Should you remove screws, keep them in a safe
place out of children’s reach, so there is no chance
of them being swallowed accidentally.
..........................................................................................................
120
Always turn the phantom power off when
connecting any device other than condenser mic
that require phantom power. You risk causing
damage if you mistakenly supply phantom power
to dynamic mics, audio playback devices, or other
devices that don’t require such power. Be sure to
check the specifications of any mic you intend to
use by referring to the manual that came with it.
(This instrument’s phantom power: 48 V DC, 10mA Max)

Introduction
IMPORTANT NOTES
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on Page 4–5, please read and observe the following:
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.
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.
307
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.
351
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.
***
Observe the following when using the unit’s CD-R/RW
drive. For further details, refer to “Handling the CD-R/
RW Drive” on Page 7.
- Install the unit on a solid, level surface.
- Do not move the unit or subject it to vibration while
the drive is operating.
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.
355b
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.
If you place the unit on a piano or an item of furniture, the
rubber feet of this unit may discolor or damage the finish
of the piano. To prevent the rubber feet from causing this
type of problem, place a cloth under the unit.
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.
552
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents
of data that was stored on a CompactFlash or CD-R/RW
disc 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.
554
Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
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.
558a
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).
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
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 infor-
mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac-
turer of the cable.

Introduction
Media That Can Be Used with the CD-2
As its recording media, the CD-2 uses CompactFlash cards (CF cards) and CD-R/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 that can be used with each type of media.
We cannot guarantee that a music CD created on the CD-2 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.
Even if a disc bears an appropriate logo, recording or playback may not be possible depending on the state of the disc.
For details on how to handle CF cards and CD-R/RW discs, refer to the instructions that came with the media you’re using.
We cannot guarantee that special discs not conforming to the music CD specification (e.g., “copy-control CDs” or “copy-guard
CDs”) will play. When using the CD-2 to play a music CD, please carefully read any statements printed on the CD package.
MEMO
About CD-R discs
Use CD-R discs that support 8x speed.
Example: 2-48x speed, 1-32x speed
About CD-RW discs
Use CD-RW discs that support 4x speed or 8x speed.
(CD-RW discs that support ultra-speed or ultra-speed plus cannot be used.)
Example: multi-speed CD-RW discs: 1-4x speed, 4x speed
High-speed CD-RW discs: 4-10x speed, 4-12x speed

1
Turn off the CD-2 and all connected equipment.
Disconnect all cables from the CD-2.
2
Turn the CD-2 upside down, and remove the card
protector.
Use a Philips (+) screwdriver to remove the two
screws shown in the illustration.
Pull out the card protector in the direction
indicated by the arrow.
3
Position the card protector as shown in the
illustration, and fasten it in place using the two
screws you removed in Step 2 - .
4
Turn the CD-2 right side up.
Card protector

NOTE
When turning the CD-2 upside
down, place stacks of newspapers
or magazines to support the four
corners (or two sides) so that
stress is not placed on the buttons
or knobs, possibly damaging
them. Then, carefully position the
CD-2 in such a way that its
buttons and knobs won’t get
damaged.
Handle the CD-2 with care, and
avoid dropping it.
MEMO
If you’re not using the card
protector
To prevent the card protector
from being lost, leave it fastened
in its original location (shown in
the illustration for Step 2).
MEMO
Don’t overtighten the screws,
since this may strip the threads
and even damage the CD-2.

Checking and Preparations
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.
fig.CordHook.e
When connection cables with resistors are used, the
volume level of equipment connected to the inputs (MIC
1, MIC 2, GUITAR, LINE IN) may be low. If this
happens, use connection cables that do not contain
resistors, such as those from the Roland PCS-series.
If you are using a Boss FS-5U, set the polarity switch of
the FS-5Uas shown in the illustration.
This instrument is equipped with balanced (XLR/TRS)
type jacks. Wiring diagrams for these jacks are shown
below. Make connections after first checking the wiring
diagrams of other equipment you intend to connect.
Howling could be produced depending on the location
of mics relative to speakers. This can be remedied by:
1. Changing the orientation of the mic(s).
2. Relocating mic(s) at a greater distance from
speakers.
3. Lowering volume levels.
You must not connect a mic to both MIC jacks (XLR-type
and phone-type) of the same number. Doing so will
damage the mic and/or the CD-2.
If cables are plugged into both the MIC 1 (XLR-type or
phone-type) and the GUITAR jack, the input from MIC 1
jack will be cancelled.

Introduction
If you’re using condenser mics, you must make settings so
that phantom power is supplied to them.
NOTE
Supplying phantom power to a dynamic mic or an audio
playback device will cause malfunctions. Also, the CD-2
cannot be used with devices other than condenser mics
that require phantom power (such as the BOSS Direct
Box DI-1).
Carefully read the owner’s manual for the mic you’re
using, and be sure to set the phantom power switch
to “OFF” unless you are using a condenser mic that
requires phantom power.

Recording to CF/CD
Recording on the CD-2
Broadly speaking, there are three methods of recording on the CD-2.
Recording with the CD-2’s internal mics ( Page 30)
Recording from a Connected Mic or Instrument ( Page 31)
Layering a performance with the playback of a music CD or CF card (Overdubbing)
Layering a performance with a song from a music CD ( Page 32)
For example, if you play back a karaoke CD and sing along, the karaoke accompaniment and your voice will be recorded
together.
Layering a performance with a song recorded to a CF card ( Page 34)
For example, let’s suppose you’ve recorded a piano performance onto a CF card. Then, while playing back the recorded
piano performance, you can sing along and record the piano performance and your vocal together. A new song containing
the piano and vocal will be created on the CF card.

Recording to CF/CD
Minimum Recording Rime for One Track
Each track on a music CD must be at least four seconds
long. Since the CD-2 creates music CDs from the songs you
record, it does not allow you to record a track that is less
than four seconds long.
Pressing [Stop ( )] or [Pause ( )] will not stop
recording if less than four seconds have passed since you
began recording. Moreover, you cannot assign a track
number ( Page 55) in such cases.
In Case Your Performance is Not Recordable
Further recording is not possible once you have reached
the maximum recordable time or the maximum number of
songs that can be recorded.
If there is no more recordable time, the message “CF Card
Full” or “CD Disc Full” will appear.
If the maximum number of tracks have already been
recorded, the message of “CF Track Full” or “CD Track
Full” will appear.
This message goes away when you press [ENTER].
If you’re using a CF card or a CD-RW disc, you can erase
unwanted songs ( Page 58, 64) and then continue
recording.
Recording Modes and Maximum Recording Times
When using a CF card for recording, you can select one of
three recording modes as appropriate for the desired
recording time and audio quality ( Page 36).
The following table shows the maximum recording times
possible with each recording mode on various capacities
of media.
The maximum times given above are approximate. The
actual time may be slightly less depending on how tracks
have been edited.
You can view the remaining time in the display.
Page 75, “Displaying the Remaining Time”
Tracks using differing recording modes may be recorded
on a single CF card.
Recording Time for One Track (One Song)
The maximum length of one track is three hours.
If a recording exceeds three hours, a new track division
will automatically be created.
The Number of Recording Tracks for One CF Card
A maximum of 99 tracks can be recorded on one CF card.
Maximum Recording Times
The maximum times given above are approximate. The
actual time may be slightly less depending on the number
of tracks that are recorded.
You can view the remaining time in the display.
Page 75, “Displaying the Remaining Time”
Types of Discs that You Can Record
•“Blank disc” refers to an “empty” disc on which nothing
has been recorded or stored.
The Number of Recording Tracks on One
CD-R/RW Disc
A maximum of 99/98 tracks can be recorded on one
CD-R/RW disc respectively.
Recorded Songs
When you record on a CD-R/RW disc, a blank space of
two seconds will automatically be added at the end of each
track (song).
Finalization ( Page 50)
“Finalization” is a process that can be applied to a CD-R/
RW disc so that it will be playable by a conventional CD
player. Once a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc has been
finalized, it can be played back as a music CD in a CD
player that supports CD-R or CD-RW playback.
No further songs can be recorded on a CD-R/RW disc that
has been finalized.
If you’re using a CD-RW disc, you can remove the
finalization and add additional material. Page 65,

Recording to CF/CD
Recording with the Internal Mics
Here’s how to record a vocal or instrumental performance via
the CD-2’s internal mics (see the illustration below).
You can record to either a CF card or a CD-R/RW disc.
HINT
You can check the amount of time that remains on the
media. Page 75, “Displaying the Remaining Time”
You can increase the amount of free space on a CF card
or CD-RW by deleting unwanted tracks.
CF card Page 58, CD-RW disc Page 64
If you’re recording to a CF card, you can select the
recording mode that’s appropriate for the content you’re
recording. Page 36, “Choosing the CF Card
Recording Mode”
MEMO
The sound from the internal mics will not be heard from
the internal speakers. You’ll need to use headphones in
order to audition the sound from the internal mics.
Since the CD-2 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. Page 37, “Adjusting
the Input Level: Internal Mic”
* If you’re recording to a CF card, no CD-R/RW drive
operating noise will be recorded.
Depending on where the CD-2 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. Page 39, “Adjusting the Left/Right Volume

jacks can be set to left, right, or center.
When using two mics to record a lecture or band performance,
you can set the pan to left and right so that the natural
spaciousness of the sound is captured (i.e., stereo recording).

Press twice.
You’re returned to the previous readout.
When you record via the internal mics, the left and right
channels of the recorded sound may be perceived as not being
balanced, depending on the location in which the CD-2 is
placed.
For example, if the CD-2 has been placed at an angle relative
to the audio source you’re recording, the sound from the mic
that is closer to the audio source will sound louder.
You can adjust the left/right volume balance of the internal
mics as appropriate for the location in which the CD-2 is
placed.

You can adjust the balance from L50–R50. The
center position (C) indicates that both microphones
will pick up sound at equal level.
When set to L50, no sound will be picked up by the
R channel mic. When set to R50, no sound will be
picked up by the L channel mic.

What to do if a track is larger than the capacity of a CD-R/RW disc
Even if a track is larger than can be written to a single CD-R/RW
disc, it can automatically be divided across multiple CD-R/RW
discs for writing.
If you want to automatically divide and write a large track,
proceed as follows.
In Steps 4–5 on Page 46, specify the large track as the first track
to be written. A track can be written across multiple discs only
if the first track specified for writing is larger than can be
written to a single CD-R/RW disc.
If you specify a large-size track, you will not be able to specify
more than one track for writing.
After the first CD-R/RW disc has been ejected, the message
“Insert Disc” will appear. Insert another CD-R/RW disc.
When the disc is detected, writing will begin automatically.
Continue inserting additional CD-R/RW discs as directed by the messages that appear.
When all the data has been written, the message “Write Completed. Another Disc?” will appear. Continue with the
procedure from Step 10 of Page 47.
CD-R/RW discs that have no more space on them after the track has been written will be finalized automatically. For
example, if a track is divided across two discs, as in the example shown in the illustration at the upper right, the first
CD-R/RW disc will be finalized automatically.

Music CDs that do not contain silence between tracks
will be copied with two seconds of silence inserted
between each track (see illustration below). In some
cases, this may mean that the copy will not be identical
to the original music CD.
Workflow to Copy CDs
When copying a music CD, the CD tracks are stored
temporarily on the CF card. Then, the temporary tracks
on the CF card are written to a blank CD-R/RW disc.
The music CD tracks stored on the CF card will be
erased after they have been written to the blank
CD-R/RW disc.
NOTE
The music CD’s tracks will be stored up to the amount of
free space available on the CF card. You may not be able
to copy an entire CD if there’s not enough free space
remaining. If you use a CF card with 1 GB of free space,

Applying Effects to Your Vocal or Instrumental Performance
You can apply a variety of effects (acoustical processing) to
your vocal or instrumental performance.
For example, you can apply echo to your vocal, or apply
distortion to the sound of your electric guitar.
The CD-2 provides a variety of preset patches that are suitable
for different instruments, and these are organized by category
into three groups. Use the effect patch that’s appropriate for
your instrument and situation.
Page 88, “Effect Patch List”
DYNAMICS group: For various instruments.
VOCAL group: For vocal/various instruments.
GUITAR/BASS group: For guitar/bass/guitar + vocal.
MEMO
You can freely select effects regardless of the group.

Backing Up Tracks from a CF Card
You can back up all tracks (recorded data) from a CF card to a
CD-R/RW disc.
It’s a good idea to back up important tracks to a CD-R/RW
disc as a precaution against accidental damage or loss of the
CF card.
NOTE
Roland Corporation will take no responsibility for any
loss of CF card tracks or recorded content that may result
from failure of the backup operation, and will not be
liable for any damages resulting from such loss.
Additionally, Roland Corporation does not make any
guarantee regarding the backed-up data, regardless of
the performance or the state of the CD-R/RW drive.
MEMO
The backup operation applies to all tracks on the CF
card. You can’t back up a single specific track.
You can use the following CD-R/RW discs for backup.
* Once you’ve used a CD-RW disc for backup, no further
tracks can be added to the backup even if there is remaining
space on that disc. All data contained on the CD-RW disc
will be erased before the backup is performed.
In order to play or edit data that you’ve backed up to a
CD-R/RW disc, you’ll need to restore the backup data to
a CF card. Page 72, “Recovering Backed-up Data”
If the screen indicates “Insert CD” in Step 4
If the CF card contains more data than can fit on a single
CD-R/RW disc, the backup will be performed across
multiple CD-R/RW discs.
In Step 4, the first CD-R/RW disc will be ejected. Then,
the message “Insert CD” will be displayed. Insert
another CD-R/RW disc. When the disc is detected,
writing will begin automatically.
As directed by the messages that appear, exchange
CD-R/RW discs to proceed with the backup.
If the backup of a single track spans more than one
CD-R/RW disc, you will be asked to insert the CD-R/
RW discs in the correct order when you execute the
Recover operation ( Page 72).
We recommend that you label each CD-R/RW disc with
the correct number to indicate the backup order.
If the screen indicates “CD-RW Erase?” in Step 4
If you are using a previously recorded CD-RW disc, the
“CD-RW Erase?” message appears.
If you press [ENTER], the existing data will be erased
from the CD-RW disc, and then the backup will begin.
1
Press until “BACKUP CFCD”
appears in the display.
You can also select this item by turning [DATA].
2
Press .
The “Insert Backup CD” message appears.

An unused disc OK OK
A previously recorded disc OK *
Preparations
Obtain the necessary number of
CD-R/RW discs for the backup.
If you’re using a high-capacity CF
card that holds 1 GB or 2 GB, the
data may be too large to fit on a
single CD-R/RW disc.
If so, the backup will span two or
more discs. Obtain the necessary
number of CD-R/RW discs before
you continue.
Insert the CF card that you want
to back up.
