POWERING UP
After making your connections, turn on the system’s power using this procedure:
➀ Before turning on the DM5’s power, check the following items:
• Have all connections been made correctly?
• Are the volume controls of the amplifier or mixer turned down?
• Is the volume of the DM5 turned down?
➁ Turn on the [POWER] switch on the DM5 front panel.
Upon power-up, the DM5 will recall the last selected Drum Set, and will display the
page that was last selected.
➂ Press [DRUM SET].
The [DRUM SET] button will light. The display should look something like this:

➃ Turn the DM5’s master [VOLUME] knob fully clockwise.
The best signal-to-noise ratio is achieved when [VOLUME] is set to maximum.
➄ Turn on the power of the amplifier/mixer, and adjust the volume.
PLAYING THE DEMO SEQUENCE
The DM5 has a built-in demo sequence which demonstrates the wide variety of
sounds this amazing instrument is capable of generating. In order to get the full
effect of the demo, we recommend that you connect both the [MAIN OUTPUT-L] and
[MAIN OUTPUT-R] to the inputs of your sound system, or listen on headphones.
To play the demo sequence:
➀ Hold the [DRUM SET] button, and press [PREVIEW].
The display will read: “Playing Demo...”.
➁ Press any button to stop the demo.
There will be no MIDI out messages during the demo, and the external triggers will be
disabled.
