the USB connector, place
it in the cover holder so
that it won’t be lost.
About the
Ground Terminal
927
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, such as guitars. This
is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is abso-
lutely 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
•Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
•Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)
•Telephone-line ground or lightning rod
(may be dangerous in the event of lightning)
About the SD Cards and the
SD Card Connector
Insert the SD card, label side up, into the slot in the JS-8’s
rear panel.
Press the inserted SD card until you hear an audible “click.”
Recording and playback on the JS-8 requires an SD card.
930
Never insert or remove an SD card while this unit’s power
is on. Doing so may corrupt the unit’s data or the data on
the SD card.
931
Carefully insert the SD card all the way in-until it is firmly
in place.
To prevent dust from entering the SD card connector and
to prevent the SD card from being stolen, you should
screw on the connector cover.
About the USB Memory
Connector
Only USB memory can be connected to the USB memory
connector. Do not connect devices such as a hard disk or
CD-ROM drive.
About the Expression Pedal
and Footswitch
925
Use only the specified expression pedal (Roland EV-5,
BOSS FV-500L, or FV-500H; sold separately). By con-
necting any other expression pedals, you risk causing
malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
Never connect or disconnect the expression pedal or the
footswitch while this unit’s power is on.
About the Security Slot
988
Connect a commercially available anti-theft security
cable here.
