Using a pair of headphones
A standard pair of stereo headphones can be
plugged in here for private practice or late-night
playing. The internal stereo speaker system is
automatically shut off when a pair of head phones
is plugged into the PHONES/OUTPUT jack.
Do not listen with the headphones at high volume for long peri-
ods of time. Doing so may cause hearing loss.
Connect the DD-55 to external equipment only after turning off
power for all devices. To prevent damage to the speakers, set the
volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before con-
necting them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in elec-
tric shock or equipment damage.
Since speakers are built into the
DD-55, you should be careful to
never leave any video tapes,
cassette tapes, floppy disks or
any kind of magnetic storage
media on the panel — doing so
may result in data loss or dam-
age to the items. Also avoid
using the DD-55 near a televi-
sion or computer monitor, since
interference may result.
Using the Foot Pedals (1/2)
When connected, these pedals can be used simul-
taneously play the drum set’s hi-hat pedal or bass
drum voices — or they can also be assigned to
play other voices as well. Connect the supplied
Pedal 1 to the PEDAL 1 jack @4 and Pedal 2 to
the PEDAL 2 jack @1.
Make sure that the pedal plugs are properly con-
nected to the PEDAL jacks before turning on the
power.
Do not press Pedal 2 while turning the power on.
Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the
pedal, resulting in reversed pedal operation.
Avoid using the pedals directly on a soft floor,
since they may scratch the surface of the floor.
