Roland CD-2 Manuel D’Utilisation

You can use the CD-2 to copy a CD containing your original music.

• You can’t copy a CD-R/RW disc that has not been 

finalized (

• 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.

• 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, 
you will be able to copy an entire music CD.

• 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.

• This unit is designed for professional use. When using the CD-R/RW drive to transfer audio signals, this unit can 

perform recording without being subject to 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.)

• Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe on a copyright held by a third party. We assume no responsibility 

whatsoever with regard to any infringements of third-party copyrights arising through your use of this unit.

• The CD-2’s CD-writing functionality, and its copying functionality are designed to allow you to reproduce material to 

which you have copyright, or material which the copyright owner has granted you permission to copy. Accordingly, 
reproduction of Music CD or other copyrighted material without permission of the copyright owner avoiding technical 
prohibiting features of second-generation and later copying like SCMS or others constitutes copyright infringement and 
may incur penalties even in case such reproduction is for your own personal use and enjoyment (private use). Consult 
a copyright specialist or special publications for more detailed information on obtaining such permission from 
copyright holders.
