• 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.

........................................................................

• Before using the unit in

a foreign country, consult

with your retailer, the nearest

Roland Service Center, or an autho-

rized Roland distributor, as listed on

the “Information” page.

........................................................................

IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply: Use of Batteries

• 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.

• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long

hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not

a cause for concern.

• The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the unit’s

power consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer

to use batteries, please use the alkaline type.

• 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.

• 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.

Placement

• 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 inter-

ference.

• This device may interfere with radio and television

reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such

receivers.

• 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 initi-

ating 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.

• 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.

Also, do not allow lighting devices that normally are used

while their light source is very close to the unit (such as

a piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon the

same area of the unit for extended periods of time.

Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

• 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.

• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain

on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can

discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument.

Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the

exterior finish.

• 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.

Maintenance

• 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.

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any

kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or

deformation.

Additional Precautions

• 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.

• 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.

• 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).

• 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.

• 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.

Power Supply

Remove the lid of the battery

compartment and insert 6 AA

batteries, making sure that they are

correctly oriented.

* To avoid malfunction and/or

damage to speakers or other

devices, always turn off the

power on this unit and

disconnect any other devices when installing or replacing batteries.

* When closing the lid of the battery compartment, first insert the

catches on the lid into the matching cavities, then push the lid down

firmly until you hear a click.

Using Batteries

Please note the following points.

• If there are batteries in the unit while an AC adaptor is being used,

normal operation will continue should the supply of current

be interrupted (power outage or power cord disconnection).

•

Use only alkaline batteries (LR6). You cannot use any other type of battery.

• Battery Life

Used continuously at maximum power: approx. 13 hours

(These figures will vary depending on the actual conditions of use)

•

When operating on battery power only, the unit's power indicator (p. 6)

will become dim when battery power gets too low. Replace the batteries

as soon as possible.

• Sounds may distort easily or may cut off when played at high

volume as the battery power begins to fade, but this is normal

and does not indicate a malfunction. Either replace the batteries

or use the AC adaptor included with the unit.

1. Insert the DC plug of the supplied AC adaptor into the unit's AC

adaptor jack.

By anchoring the AC adaptor cord using the

cord hook, as shown in the illustration, you

can prevent situations such as the adaptor

becoming unplugged or unreasonable

pressure being exerted on the AC adaptor

jack.

* To avoid faulty operation or damage to the

speakers, you should disconnect the unit from other devices and

switch off its power when connecting the AC adaptor.

2. Connect the supplied power cord to the AC adaptor, and plug

it into an AC outlet.

Place the AC adaptor so the side with the indicator (see illustration)

faces upwards.

* The indicator will light when you plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

Using the Unit With the AC Adaptor

Please note the following points.

• Although the unit can operate on batteries alone, connecting the AC

adaptor to the unit while it has batteries inserted ensures that power

is supplied from the AC adaptor, reducing battery consumption.

•

Use only the AC adaptor included with the MICRO CUBE RX.

Use of other AC adaptors may damage the amp or result in other problems.

Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to your various

devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you

risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices.

1. Make sure that all volume controls on the MICRO CUBE RX

and connected devices are set to 0.

2. Turn on all the devices connected to the MICRO CUBE RX's INPUT

jack and AUX IN jack.

3. Turn on the MICRO CUBE RX.

4. Adjust the volume levels for the devices.

5. Before switching off the power, lower the volume on each

of the devices in your system, and then turn off the devices

in the reverse of the order followed when switching them on.

NOTE

Due to a circuitry protection feature, this unit requires a few moments

after power up before it is ready for normal operation. To avoid

sudden, high-volume sound, always make sure to have the volume

level turned down before switching on power.

NOTE

Even with the volume all the way down, you may still hear some

sound when the power is switched on and off, but this is normal,

and does not indicate a malfunction.

Attach the supplied strap to

the strap pin as shown in the

illustration.

NOTE

Attach the strap securely so that it does not easily become

detached. If the strap is loose, and you use it that way when

carrying the MICRO CUBE RX, the amp could be dropped,

possibly resulting in damage or injury.

NOTE

Use only the provided strap. The included strap is meant for

exclusive use with the MICRO CUBE RX. Do not use this strap

for other products.

NOTE

Do not spin or swing the MICRO CUBE RX while holding it by

the strap. This is extremely dangerous, as it may cause the strap

to become detached; or, if the motion is repeated enough, may

even break the strap.

This is modeled on the sound and response of a Marshall JMP1987.

Used extensively in hard rock during the 1970s, this is truly the

perfect amp for the "top rock" guitar sound.

METAL STACK

This is modeled on the PEAVEY EVH5150. This is a high-gain amp

type, so even at low volumes, you can still get heavy distortion and

sustain.

R-FIER STACK

This is modeled on the MESA/Boogie Rectifier. This super-high-gain

amp is capable of producing slash metal, grunge, and a wide range

of other lead sounds.

MIC

Select this when a microphone is connected.

* Please note the following points when using a microphone.

• Feedback could be produced depending on the location of

microphones relative to the unit. This can be remedied by:

1. Changing the orientation of the microphone(s).

2. Relocating microphone(s) at a greater distance

from the unit.

3. Lowering volume levels.

• The sound will be distorted if you turn the GAIN knob up
