• To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or
other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off
the power on all devices before making any connections.
922
• This instrument is equipped with balanced type jacks
(TRS=CTL3,4; XLR=SUB OUT). Wiring diagrams for these
jacks are shown below. Make connections after first
checking the wiring diagrams of other equipment you
intend to connect.

• To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your
unit (should the plug be pulled out accidentally), and to
avoid applying undue stress to the AC adaptor jack,
anchor the power cord using the cord hook, as shown in
the illustration.

925
* Use only the specified expression pedal (Roland EV-5,
BOSS FS-500L/500H with a connection cable (stereo 1/4”
phone – stereo 1/4” phone); sold separately). By
connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing
malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
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, micro-
phones connected to it, or the metal portions of
other objects, such as guitars. 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 partic-
ulars 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)
926a
• When connection cables with resistors are used, the
volume level of equipment connected to the GUITAR
INPUT may be low. If this happens, use connection cables
that do not contain resistors.
* Never connect anything other than the FC-300’s RRC2 OUT
connector to the VG-99’s RRC2 IN connector. Connecting to a LAN
or other devices that use modular jacks of the same size and shape
(RJ45) may result in damage to the VG-99 and/or the connected
device.
* If using a commercially available ethernet cable as the RRC2
connecting cable, be sure that the cable meets the following
specifications:
• Category 5 (Cat5) or above
• Maximum length of 15 meters
• Cable designed for straight-through connections
* Crossover cables cannot be used.
* Do not subject the ethernet cable to stress or physical shock.
* Carefully connect the RRC2 cable all the way in–until it is firmly
connected to the RRC2 IN connector.
* When outputting in mono, connect a cable only to the MAIN OUT
L/MONO jack.
* You cannot use COSM GUITAR or POLY FX with signals input
via GUITAR IN. The GT-PRO’s internal FX, COSM AMP,
MIXER, and other settings can be used fully in two channels.
* When connecting an expression pedal to the EXP PEDAL jack, use
the pedal with the minimum level at the MIN position.
* When connecting an FS-6 footswitch (optional) to the CTL3/4 jack,
set the MODE switch and POLARITY switch as shown below.

* When connecting an FS-5U footswitch (optional) to the CTL3/4
jack, set the POLARITY switch as shown below.
