You must read this before you use digital recording
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.
When exchanging audio signals through a digital connection with an external instrument, this unit can perform
recording without being subjected to some of 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.)
On the UA-3
The UA-3 will function with partial SCMS support only for a digital input signal from an external device. When
data containing SCMS flags is input, for example from a MD that was digitally copied from a commercial music
CD, the UA-3 will function as follows.
If input from the UA-3's digital input connector:
• The UA-3 cannot record this data to your computer
• The audio will be output from the analog outputs (line output jacks, headphone jack) and digital output con-
nector.
If input from the UA-3's analog inputs (line input jacks):
• Recording can occur normally
Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe on a copyright held by a third party. Roland assumes no
responsibility whatsoever with regard to any infringements of third-party copyrights arising through your use
of this unit.
This device does not support digital audio signals that are formatted for broadcast studio digital audio devices.
UA-3
Regardless of the presence or absence of the SCMS flag, data that is received at the digital input
connector of the UA-3 will be output directly from the digital output connector.
The UA-3 operates according to SCMS only for digital input signals from an external device.
SCMS flags are not added to the digital audio signals that are output from the UA-3.
