Also avoid using the instrument near a television or computer monitor, since interference may result. Use the sticks with caution. Do not use them for anything other than playing the instrument. Also, to avoid damage or injury, refrain from waving them recklessly or throwing them.

Make all necessary settings below BEFORE turning the power on (page 9). À cauTION + Before conne g the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power of all the components. Also, before turning any components on or off, make sure to set all volume levels to minimum (0). Otherwise, electrical shock or damage to the components may occur. Power Requirements Although the instrument will run either from an AC power 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 @ Connect the AC adaptor to the power supply jack. À\ WARNING + Use the specified adaptor (page 31) only. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adap- or and the instrument. @ Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

Ces Apor | AC outiet À cauTION Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instru- ment, or during electrical storms. Even when the instrument is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet. FNOTE + Connecting the AC power adaptor automatically supplies power from the adaptor and overrides battery power, even when batter- ies are installed. e Using Batteries @ Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument's bottom panel. @ Insert six ‘AA size, LRG or equivalent batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the side of the compartment. @ Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.

Fttttt dünotl When battery power becomes too low for proper operation, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other problems may occur. When this happens, make sure to replace all batter- ies, following the precautions listed below. À CAUTION + Use alkaline batteries for this instrument. Other types of batteries (including rechargeable batteries) may have sud- den drops of power when battery power becomes low. + Make sure to install the batteries with the proper orienta- tion, maintaining the correct polarity (as shown). Incorrect battery installation may result in heat, fire and/or leaking of corrosive chemicals. 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 leak- age from the battery. DD-45/YDD-40 Owner's Manual

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. À cauTION Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it may overturn; doing so can result in damage to the instru- ment or personal injury. Before moving the instrument, remove the stand from the instrument. Otherwise it may fall off. Connecting Headphones (IPHONES/OUTPUT] jack) Connect a set of headphones to the [PHONES/OUT- PUT] jack. The speaker of this instrument is automat- ically 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. À 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. À CAUTION + When the instruments 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. DD-45/YDD-40 Owner's Manual Connecting an Audio Source ([AUX IN] jack) This jack is for connection to an external audio source such as an MP3 player. You can play the instrument with backing music and accompani- ment, like playing with a full band. Adjust the input level from the volume control of the external audio source for optimum balance. À CAUTION + When the sound of an external device is output to the instrument, first tum on the power to the external device, then to the instrument. Reverse this order when you tu 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 Kits bass drum Voices—or can also be assigned to play other Voices as well. À cAUTION + Make sure that the pedal plug is properly connected to the {PEDAL] jack before tuning 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 “one!

Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause and Solution When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping sound is temporarily produced. This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electri- cal power. The LED display is dark. The volume is too low. The Custom Kit Voice assignments have disap- peared or been reset to their default settings. The batteries are low or dead. Replace all six batteries with com- pletely new ones, or use an AC adaptor. When using a mobile phone, noise is produced. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may pro- duce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from the instrument. No sound comes from the speakers. The volume is set too low. Adjust the volume (page 9). Check that nothing is connected to the [PHONES/OUTPUT] jack on the rear panel. When a plug is inserted into this jack, no sound is output. None of the buttons work. The panel buttons have been locked. Turn off Panel Button Lock (page 10). The power was turned off suddenly. The Auto Power Off function (page 9) is active. When the instrument is not in use for about ten minutes, power is turned off automatically. 18 DD-45/YDD-40 Owner's Manual
