Model No. DD-50

Serial No.

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha DD-50. The DD-50 has been developed to act and play like a drum set but with greater ease. Before you use the instrument, we recommend you to read through this manual.

Taking Care of Your DD-50

Your DD-50 will give you years of playing pleasure if you follow the simple rules given below:

Location

Do not expose the instrument to the following conditions to avoid deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage.

• Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window).
• High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source, outside, or in a car during the daytime).
• Excessive humidity.
• Excessive dust.
  Strong vibration.

Power Supply

• Turn the power switch OFF when the instrument is not in use.
• An AC adaptor, if used (the DD-50 runs from either batteries or an optional AC adaptor), should be unplugged from the AC outlet if the instrument is not to be used for an extended period of time.
• Unplug the AC adaptor during electric storms.
• Avoid plugging the AC adaptor into the same AC outlet as appliances with high power consumption, such as electric heaters or ovens. Also avoid using multi-plug adaptors since these can result in reduced sound quality, operation errors, and possibly damage.

Turn Power OFF When Making Connections

• To avoid damage to the instrument and other devices to which it is connected, turn the power switches of all related devices OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting cables.

■ Handling and Transport

• Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or other parts of the instrument.

• Always unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly, not by pulling on the cable.

• Disconnect all cables before moving the instrument.
• Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or placing heavy objects on the instrument can result in scratches and more serious damage.

■ Cleaning

• Clean the cabinet and panel with a dry soft cloth.
• A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove stubborn grime and dirt.
• Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner.
• Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the instrument (vinyl can stick to and discolor the surface).

Electrical Interference

• This instrument contains digital circuitry and may cause interference if placed too close to radio or television receivers. If this occurs, move the instrument further away from the affected equipment.

Data Backup

• Custom data and some settings (see page 21) will be retained in memory even if the power switch is turned OFF as long as an AC power adaptor is connected or batteries are installed.

Service and Modification

• The DD-50 contains no user serviceable parts. Opening it or tampering with it in anyway can lead to irreparable damage and possibly electric shock. Refer all servicing to qualified YAMAHA personnel.

Power Supply

Your DD-50 will run either from batteries or an optional power adaptor. Follow the instructions below according to the power source you intend to use.

Using an AC-Adaptor (sold separately)

Connect the optional power adaptor (Yamaha PA-3 or PA-3B) to the DC IN 10-12V jack located on the unit's left side panel, and plug the AC power adaptor into an AC power outlet.

• Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the PA-3 or PA-3B. Use of an incompatible adaptor may result in the instrument becoming hot or, irreparable damage to the DD-50. It may also result in fire. If the instrument is damaged due to use of an incompatible adaptor, YAMAHA is not responsible for the damage.

When Using Headphones (About the PHONES/AUX OUT Jack)

An optional set of stereo headphones (such as the Yamaha HPE-150 or HPE-3) can be connected to the PHONES/AUX OUT jack located on the side panel. When a pair of headphones is connected to the jack, the DD-50's internal speakers will switch off automatically, perfect for private practice or late night playing. If you want to use an external sound system, the headphone jack can also be used to connect the DD-50 to a stereo system or mixing console. (Use a standard plug pin plug adaptor to connect the DD-50 to a stereo system.)

• Turn the power OFF on all equipment before making any connections.

Installing Batteries

1 Open the battery compartment cover on the underside of the DD-50.

2 Insert six "C" size, R14, SUM-2 or equivalent batteries. When inserting the batteries, be careful to follow the polarity markings in the illustration.

3 Close the battery compartment cover securely.

• Power will be automatically drawn from the AC adaptor if an optional AC adaptor is connected while batteries are installed in the instrument.

• It is recommended that you replace worn batteries as soon as possible. When battery voltage drops, the DD-50's display will dim and/or the sound will become distorted. When this occurs, replace the batteries with a complete set of six new batteries of the same type.

• NEVER mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (alkaline, magnesium, etc.), batteries by different makers, or batteries from the same maker but of different types. Misuse may cause the instrument to become hot, result in fire, or battery leakage.

• Also, to prevent damage due to battery leakage, remove all of the batteries from the instrument when it is not to be used for an extended period of time. Batteries left in an unused instrument will also loose their power over time.
