Q&A, Sound List
This Q&A booklet, which seeks to make operation of the XV-5080 a more enjoyable
experience, offers pertinent information, and answers to questions previously
directed at Roland by the users of its products. While it is hoped that you will read
the relevant sections in the Owner's Manual for information and instructions
regarding the various operations and settings, we believe that, in addition to
referring to the Owner's Manual, carrying out operations and making settings with
a general understanding of the content of this booklet regarding these functions,
about which numerous questions have been asked, will allow you to get much
more out of the XV-5080 for years to come. Let this guide be a handy aid in using
the XV-5080.
