USING THE UNIT SAFELY
001
Before using this unit, make sure to read the
instructions below, and the Owner’s Manual.
................................................................................................
002c
Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its
AC adaptor.
................................................................................................
003
Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts
within it (except when this manual provides
specific instructions directing you to do so). Refer
all servicing to your retailer, the nearest Roland Service
Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on
the “Information” page.
................................................................................................
004
Never use or store the unit in places that are:
Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct
sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating
duct, on top of heat-generating equipment); or
are
Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are
Humid; or are
Exposed to rain; or are
Dusty; or are
Subject to high levels of vibration.
................................................................................................
007
Make sure you always have the unit placed so it is
level and sure to remain stable. Never place it on
stands that could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.
................................................................................................
008c
Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with
the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the
installation matches the input voltage specified on
the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors may use a
different polarity, or be designed for a different voltage, so
their use could result in damage, malfunction, or electric
shock.
................................................................................................
008e
Use only the attached power-supply cord. Also,
the supplied power cord must not be used with
any other device.
................................................................................................
009
Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord,
nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage
the cord, producing severed elements and short
circuits. Damaged cords are fire and shock hazards!
................................................................................................
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 uncom-
fortable. 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 “Infor-
mation” 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.
................................................................................................
Used for instructions intended to alert
the user to the risk of injury or material
damage should the unit be used
improperly.
* Material damage refers to damage or
other adverse effects caused with
respect to the home and all its
furnishings, as well to domestic
animals or pets.
Used for instructions intended to alert
the user to the risk of death or severe
injury should the unit be used
improperly.
The symbol alerts the user to things that must be
carried out. The specific thing that must be done is
indicated by the design contained within the circle. In
the case of the symbol at left, it means that the power-
cord plug must be unplugged from the outlet.
The symbol alerts the user to important instructions
or warnings.The specific meaning of the symbol is
determined by the design contained within the
triangle. In the case of the symbol at left, it is used for
general cautions, warnings, or alerts to danger.

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.
................................................................................................
019
Batteries must never be recharged, heated, taken
apart, or thrown into fire or water.
................................................................................................
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.
................................................................................................
109b
Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and
unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet.
................................................................................................
110b
Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning
in your area, disconnect the AC adaptor from the
outlet.
................................................................................................
111: Selection
If used improperly, batteries may explode or leak
and cause damage or injury. In the interest of
safety, please read and observe the following
precautions (p. 25).
1
Carefully follow the installation instructions for
batteries, and make sure you observe the correct
polarity.
2
Avoid using new batteries together with used ones. In
addition, avoid mixing different types of batteries.
3
Remove the batteries whenever the unit is to remain
unused for an extended period of time.
5
If a battery has leaked, use a soft piece of cloth or paper
towel to wipe all remnants of the discharge from the
battery compartment. Then install new batteries. To
avoid inflammation of the skin, make sure that none of
the battery discharge gets onto your hands or skin.
Exercise the utmost caution so that none of the
discharge gets near your eyes. Immediately rinse the
affected area with running water if any of the discharge
has entered the eyes.
6
Never keep batteries together with metallic objects such
as ballpoint pens, necklaces, hairpins, etc.
................................................................................................
112
Used batteries must be disposed of in compliance
with whatever regulations for their safe disposal
that may be observed in the region in which you
live.
................................................................................................
118a
Should you remove the ground terminal screw,
keep them in a safe place out of children’s reach, so
there is no chance of them being swallowed
accidentally.
................................................................................................

Always turn the phantom power off when
connecting any device other than condenser micro-
phones that require phantom power. You risk causing

Important Notes
291a
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 3, please read and observe the following:
Power Supply: Use of Batteries
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.
303a
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 or nickel metal
hydride type.
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.
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.
Placement
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 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.
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.
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 defor-
mation.
Repairs and Data
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 a
CompactFrash, 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.
Memory Backup
501b
The R-4 contains a battery that keeps the internal clock
running even when the power is turned off. When this
battery runs low, the message shown below will appear in
the display. Replace the battery as soon as possible, since
the clock will not keep the correct time if the battery is low.
To have the battery replaced, consult with your retailer, the
nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland
distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
Int-Batt Low!
Additional Precautions
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 a CompactFrash or
your computer.
552
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents
of data that was stored on a hard disk, or a CompactFrash
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.

Important Notes
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.
Before Using Cards
704
Carefully insert the DATA card all the way in—until it is
firmly in place.
fig.M512-Insert
705
Never touch the terminals of the DATA card. Also, avoid
getting the terminals dirty.
707
This unit’s memory card slot accepts CompactFlash
memory cards. Microdrive storage media are not
compatible.
Handling Hard Disks
811
Once a hard disk fails to function normally, all data that
has been stored on it could be destroyed.
All hard disks eventually wear out.
We recommend that
you consider the hard disk not as a permanent storage site,
but as a place to store data temporarily. We also
recommend that you back up important performance and
image data that cannot be recorded again onto the external
media that is supported by your device. For instructions on
how to make such backups, refer to the owner’s manual for
your device.
Note that Roland assumes no liability whatsoever,
including monetary compensation, for the loss of any
recorded content in the event of the malfunction of, or
physical damage to the hard disk, or for any direct or
incidental damages resulting from the loss of such data.
Precautions Regarding Setup and Use
812
Certain hard disk setup procedures and usage conditions
may result in the corruption of recorded data, malfunc-
tioning, or physical damage to the disk, so be sure to
observe the following precautions.
Do not subject the hard disk to vibration or shock,
especially while the unit is in operation.
Do not set up the unit in any location where it may be
affected by vibration from external sources, or on any
surface that is not stable and level.
If the device includes a cooling fan, ensure that the fan
and the side panel air vents remain unobstructed.
Do not leave the unit in any environment subject to
temperature extremes; for example, in a closed
automobile in summer or outdoors during winter.
Do not use the unit in conditions of high temperature
and humidity or in any location subject to rapid
temperature changes.
Do not unplug the power cord or switch off any circuit
breakers in the circuit to which the unit is connected
while the power is turned on.
Emergency Procedures
813
* The following procedures are to be used as emergency mea-
sures only, and are not recommended for normal operation.
If the device fails to respond to operational commands or
does not complete operations, turn off the power. If the
power does not shut off following normal shutdown proce-
dures, disconnect the power plug.
If the unit does not operate normally when the power is
turned on again, it may mean that the hard disk has been
damaged. In such instances, consult your dealer or the
nearest Roland Service Center. Note, however, that it may
not be possible to recover any data from the hard disk once
it has been lost.
Copyright
851
Unauthorized recording, distribution, sale, lending, public
performance, broadcasting, or the like, in whole or in part,
of a work (musical composition, video, broadcast, public
performance, or the like) whose copyright is held by a third
party is prohibited by law.
852b
When exchanging audio signals through a digital
connection with an external instrument, this unit can
perform recording without being subjected to some of the
restrictions of the Serial Copy Management System
(SCMS). This is because the unit is intended solely for
musical production, and is designed not to be subject to
restrictions as long as it is used to record works (such as
your own compositions) that do not infringe on the
copyrights of others. (SCMS is a feature that prohibits
second-generation and later copying through a digital
connection. It is built into MD recorders and other
consumer digital-audio equipment as a copyright-
protection feature.)
853
Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe on a
copyright held by a third party. We assume no responsi-
bility whatsoever with regard to any infringements of
third-party copyrights arising through your use of this
unit.

Introducing the R-4
fig.panel-1.eps_50
Internal mics [MIC-L, MIC-R]
These are stereo mics built into the R-4. The audio entering MIC-L is recorded on the 1L channel, while
audio picked up by MIC-R is recorded on the 1R channel. If you’re recording via the internal mics, set the
System Settings menu item
Recording Setup
to
Int-Mic
. For details, refer to
“Recording from the internal
mics”
(p. 30).
* Don’t connect anything to input jacks you’re not using.
Internal speakers
These are built-in speakers for monitoring. If you want sound to be heard from the internal speakers, set
the System Settings menu item
Speaker
to
ON
. For details, refer to
“Playing back”
(p. 34).
* No sound will be heard from the internal speakers if you’ve connected headphones to the
Headphone jack
( ).
Nor will sound be heard from the internal speakers while recording or in recording-standby mode; this prevents
acoustic feedback from occurring.
Power switch [POWER]
This turns the power on/off. To turn the power on or off, press and hold the power switch for about two
seconds. The power switch is lit green when the power is on.
Don’t turn the power off during recording or playback. Before you turn off the power, you must make sure
that recording or playback is stopped.
* If you accidentally turn off the power during recording, the data that was being recorded will not be stored on the
hard disk.
* The hard disk may be damaged if you turn off the power of the R-4 while data is being read from or written to the
hard disk (such as during recording or playback). You must also be careful not to turn off the power while data is
being transferred between the hard disk and the CompactFlash card.
* Never turn off the power while the R-4’s display indicates Now Connecting... or Now Processing! Doing so will
cause the R-4 to become unstable, and could even damage the internal hard disk.

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 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.
Unsuitable places for connection

Input level select switches
Set these switches to either the MIC or LINE position depending on the type of device connected to
channels 1/L and 2/R or channels 3/L and 4/R.
Combo input jacks 1–4
These are analog audio input jacks compatible with mic preamps. They accept either XLR or 1/4” phone
plugs; you can use whichever is most convenient for the equipment you’re connecting. Balanced or
unbalanced signals can be connected.
You can use combo input jacks 1–4 as four channels of monaural input or as two stereo pairs, 1/2 and 3/4.
For details, refer to
“1 Recording Setup”
(p. 60).
* The XLR type jacks can provide 48 V phantom power, allowing you to connect phantom-powered condenser mics.
In this case, turn on the
phantom power switch
().
fig.XLR-TRS
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.
Line output jacks [LINE OUT]
These jacks output an analog audio signal. You can use RCA phono cables to connect them to powered
speakers, audio equipment, a mixer, etc. These jacks output the same signal as the
digital output
connector
( ) and the
headphone jack
().
The nominal output level is fixed at -10 dBV, and the volume of these jacks cannot be adjusted.

Introducing the R-4
Battery compartment
Install batteries here if you want to operate the R-4 on battery power.
The orientation in which you must insert the batteries is shown on the side of the battery compartment.
Be sure to observe the correct polarity when installing the batteries.
If you’re using the AC adaptor, there’s no need to install batteries.
Make sure to switch off the R-4’s power before you change from AC adaptor operation to battery operation,
or vice versa.
For details, refer to
“Installing batteries and turning the power on”
(p. 25).

Project name
Indicates the name of the project. If you copy WAV files from your computer
via USB to the R-4’s internal hard disk, this will show the file name. File names
containing double-byte characters (e.g., Japanese) will not be displayed cor-
rectly, but they can be played.
Time counter
Indicates the time that has elapsed from the beginning of the project to the
current location. Indicated in terms of hours: minutes: seconds.
Progress bar
Indicates the current playback location relative to the entire project.
Total time
Indicates the total time of the entire project.
Level scale
Shows the audio level of each channel in real time. The markings are relative
to 0 dBFS (Full Scale) of the digital signal. For example, 12 means -12 dBFS. C
is clipping level (0 dBFS).
Clip level indicators
Channel level meters
Channel names
This area shows up to four channel names. If you’re using one stereo channel,
this will indicate 1L and 1R. If you’re using two stereo channels, this will in-
dicate 1L, 1R, 2L, 2R.
For a monaural project, this area will show 1, 2, 3, and 4 according to the num-
ber of channels.
Output assignments
These show how the audio of each channel is assigned to the L/R output
channels. L means that the audio is assigned to the left channel, R to the right
channel, and LR to both left and right channels. Channels for which no indi-
cation appears will not be output. When you're in the main screen, you can
press the [CURSOR] up/down buttons to select the channel that you want to
monitor.
The output is sent to the PHONES jack, line output jacks, and digital output
connector.
Sampling frequency
Indicates the sampling frequency and sample size (bit depth) of the currently
selected project.
Sample size
Marker indicators
The number at the left indicates the marker located immediately before the
current time counter value. The number at the right indicates the total number
of markers assigned in the currently selected project.

These are the output level meters. They show the final output levels of the L
and R channels, to which the various channels have been mixed. You can use
the monitor level sliders of the mixer screen to adjust the level of each channel.
From the left, the level meter is calibrated at -36, -24, -12, and -6 dBFS.
Clip level indicators
Power source
Indicates how power is being supplied to the R-4. The plug icon is shown if
power is being supplied by the AC adaptor, and the battery icon is shown if
power is being supplied by batteries.
Remaining time
During playback, this indicates the remaining time from the current location
to the end of the project.
Channel level sliders
Use these to adjust the playback level of each channel. Use the left/right
[CURSOR/FINDER] buttons to select a slider, and turn the [SCRUB/VALUE]
dial to adjust the value. Each slider provides adjustment within the range 0–
120. The default value is 100.
