I would suggest calling Roland in your country, they have a fairly good
service/tech help line – I called them last month for something to do with
one of my VF-1’s, and they were fairly helpful!

Hi. I had no joy with trying to get answers. Roland service here in my part of Australia is pretty remote, though they did suggest I adjust the contrast "blind" via the manual. This was a good idea, but alas...no fix! A tech has my unit as we speak and is confident in an easy fix....should have it back this week...will let you know!
