Before You Play

By connecting a commercially available CD drive that is USB-
compatible, you can use the DP-990 to play back ordinary
music CDs or songs from a CD-ROM that contains SMF music
files (p. 42).
The DP-990 provides a range of performance possibilities,
such as a “Center Cancel” function, which minimizes the vocal
portion of commercially available CDs so that you can sing the
vocal yourself (p. 50), and a “Melody Guide” function, which
mutes the melody portion of SMF music files so that you can
play it yourself (p. 46).

* You can also play songs on VIMA CD-ROMs (VIMA TUNES) sold

by Roland.

Precautions Concerning Use of the CD

• You cannot play back CD-R/RW disks to which audio

tracks have been added or CDs containing both audio
tracks and data (CD Extra).

• The DP-990 is capable of playing back only commercial

CDs that conform the official standards—those that carry
the “COMPACT DISC DIGITAL AUDIO” logo.

• The usability and sound quality of audio discs that

incorporate copyright protection technology and other
non-standard CDs cannot be guaranteed.

operate under its own power.

drive to be connected.

Connect the USB cable included with the CD
drive to the External Memory connector on the
DP-990.

When connecting a CD drive, verify that the plug is
oriented correctly for the external memory connector,
and firmly insert it all the way into the connector.
