Setting Up Using a Drum Stand Connecting an Audio Source ([AUX IN] jack) Position mark An optional stand Yamaha SS662 is available for installing this instrument. Fix the instrument on the stand's arms, aligning the stand position marks on the bottom of the instrument. NOTE • Do not tighten the arms more than necessary. Over tightening may result in bending the instrument. CAUTION • Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it may overturn; doing so can result in damage to the instrument or personal injury. • Before moving the instrument, remove the stand from the instrument. Otherwise it may fall off. Connecting Headphones ([PHONES/OUTPUT] jack) Connect a set of headphones to the [PHONES/OUTPUT] jack. The speaker of this instrument is automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack. The [PHONES/OUTPUT] jack also functions as an external output. You can connect the [PHONES/ OUTPUT] jack to a keyboard amplifier, stereo system, mixer, or other line-level audio device to send the instrument's output signal to that device. WARNING • Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for long periods of time; doing so may not only result in ear fatigue, it may be damaging to your hearing. CAUTION • When the instrument's sound is output to an external device, first turn on the power to the instrument, then to the external device. Reverse this order when you turn the power off. This jack is for connection to an external audio source such as an MP3 player. You can play the instrument with backing music and accompaniment, like playing with a full band. Adjust the input level from the volume control of the external audio source for optimum balance. CAUTION • When the sound of an external device is output to the instrument, first turn on the power to the external device, then to the instrument. Reverse this order when you turn the power off. NOTE • Any audio signal input to the [AUX IN] jack is processed in mono. Connecting a Pedal ([PEDAL] jack) This jack is for connection of an optional pedal FC4 or FC5. The pedal can be used to play the Drum Kit's bass drum Voices-or can also be assigned to play other Voices as well. CAUTION • Make sure that the pedal plug is properly connected to the [PEDAL] jack before turning on the power. • Do not press the pedal while turning the power on. Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the pedal, resulting in reversed pedal operation. • Protect the floor by placing a mat or area rug underneath the pedal. The pedal may damage the floor after an extended period of time. • Avoid getting caught in or tripping over the pedal cords; this may cause the instrument to fall and result in damage or injury. NOTE • Voice: In this manual, a voice means an instrument sound or "tone." 8 DD-45/YDD-40 Owner's Manual
