● AUX IN Jack (Stereo Mini Phone Jack) You can connect the audio outputs from a CD player, or other external audio source, to the AUX IN jack to mix the signal from the external source with the signal from the DTXPLORER. The combined audio can be sent on to an external device via the DTXPLORER's output jacks. This jack can be used when you want to play along with a favorite tune or perform with friends. Connections ■ Connecting the Power Supply A special power source adaptor supplies power to the DTXPLORER. Make sure the power is switched OFF and connect the power adaptor to the DC IN jack on the rear panel. To prevent the cord from becoming unplugged, wrap the cord around the cord hook and secure. Use the volume control on the external device (CD player, etc.) to adjust the volume balance. ● MIDI OUT Jack The DTXPLORER's MIDI function lets you play voices on an external tone generator with the DTXPLORER's pads, or synchronize the DTXPLORER's song or metronome playback with the playback of an external sequencer. About MIDI MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a world standard that provides a means to connect instruments and computers and allow them to transmit and receive performance and other data. This standard allows computers and instruments of different makers and types to communicate. Always use a standard MIDI cable when connecting devices. Also, use a MIDI cable that is not more than 15m in length. Using a longer cable may result in irregular operation and other problems. WARNING Make sure that the power adaptor's cord is not bent at an acute angle when wrapping the cord onto the hook. Such a situation can result in a damaged power cord or fire. CAUTION Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3C AC Power Adaptor (or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha). The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the instrument. Also, when the DTXPLORER is not to be used for a long period of time, please unplug the power adaptor. Before switching the power ON. • To protect the speakers, headphones and the DTXPLORER from damage, fully rotate the POWER/ VOL knob to the left (minimum volume) before switching the power ON. • Make sure the power is switched OFF on all external devices connected to the DTXPLORER. After the DTXPLORER's power is switched ON, switch the other device's power ON. 11
