Turn down the volume of all connected equipment

Turn off the rear panel POWER switch.
Make sure that the �POWER OFF� message is displayed before you turn off the power.

If you turn off the power without performing Shutdown, or if you turn off the power before POWER OFF is displayed, the data and the MV8000 itself will be damaged. Roland will accept no responsibility for any damage that results from your failure to perform the Shutdown operation.

Preparations and concepts

� When you turn off the power, you may hear a sound even though the MASTER knob is turned down; this is not a malfunction. � While the Shutdown process is occurring, system parameters and project/song data is being saved. This will require a certain amount of time before the MV-8000 is ready for you to turn off the power.
