Setting Up This section contains information about setting up your DD-55 for playing. Make sure to read this section carefully before using the instrument. Power Requirements Although the DD-55 will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete resources. Using an AC Power Adaptor q Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the DD-55 is set to STANDBY. w Connect the AC adaptor (PA-5D, PA-5C or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack. e Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet. • Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. remove the batteries or unplug the AC adaptor) during any DD-55 record operation! Doing so can result in a loss of data. PA-5D or PA-5C • Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5D or PA-5C AC Power Adaptor (or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to power your instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the DD-55. • Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the DD-55, or during electrical storms. Using Batteries For battery operation the DD-55 requires six 1.5V "C" size, R14P (LR14) or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline batteries are recommended.) When the batteries need to be replaced, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other problems may occur. When this happens, turn the power off and replace the batteries, as described below. q Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument's bottom panel. w Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the inside of the compartment. e Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place. • When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries. • Do not use different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the same time. • If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from it, in order to prevent possible fluid leakage from the battery. • Plugging or unplugging the AC power adaptor while the batteries are installed will reset the DD-55 to the defaults. 5
