Required Preparations
The VS-2480/2480CD is an audio recorder that allows multi-track recording to a
hard disk. To make a multi-track recording, you will need at least the following
items.
• VS-2480/2480CD
• Power cable (1: included)
• Internal IDE hard disk (HDP35 series: sold separately in some countries)
• Audio device for master output, monitor output, or headphones (sold
separately)
• Microphone or other audio source to record, such as an electric guitar,
synthesizer, or CD player etc. (sold separately)
• Short Cut Seal
User guide will also explain the use of the following equipment, which you may
purchase as desired.
• VS8F-2 (effect expansion board: The VS-2480/2480CD contains one VS8F-2,
sold separately for increase.)
• External CD-R/RW drive (sold separately)
Installing an Internal Hard Disk
In some countries, VS-2480’s do not come with the Hard Disk
installed. A Roland HDP35 series hard disk (sold separately in some countries) can
be installed in the VS-2480. In order to take full advantage of the VS-2480’s
functionality for the number of tracks that can be recorded/played back
simultaneously, we recommend that you install the HDP35-40G or higher model.
The VS-2480CD contains an internal 80 GB hard disk. The
procedure described below is not required.
■
Cautions When Installing a Hard Disk
• Use a Philips screwdriver that is suitable for the size of the screw (a number
2 screwdriver). If an unsuitable screwdriver is used, the head of the screw
may be stripped.
• To remove a screw, rotate the screwdriver counter-clockwise. To tighten a
screw, rotate the screwdriver clockwise.
fig.01-01e
• When installing a hard disk, remove only the specified screws.
• Be careful that the screws you remove do not drop into the interior of the
VS-2480.
• Do not leave the front panel cover in a detached state. Be sure to reattach it
after the hard disk has been installed.
• Do not touch any of the printed circuit pathways or connection terminals.
• Be careful not to cut your hand on the edge of the installation bay.
• When circuit board installation is complete, double-check your work.
1. Turn off the power of the VS-2480 and of all connected devices, and
disconnect all cables from the VS-2480.

The CD-R/RW drive

performance to the HDP35
series from CD-ROM of a
belonging.
The explanations in this
manual include
illustrations that depict
what should typically be
shown by the display.
Note, however, that your
unit may incorporate a
newer, enhanced version of
the system, so what you
actually see in the display
may not always match
what appears in the
manual.
The VS-2480 saves all of the
data, such as performance
data, mixing data, system
data, etc., on a hard disk
drive. Thus, it cannot
operate without either
having the HDP35 series
hard disk.
