DD-65/YDD-60 Owner’s Manual
The DD-65/YDD-60 speakers are automatically 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, tape
recorder, or other line-level audio device to send the
instrument’s output signal to that device.
•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.
•To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the
external devices at the minimum setting and turn power off
the devices before connecting them. Failure to observe these
precautions may result in electric shock or equipment dam-
age. Also, be sure to set the volumes of external devices at
their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls
while playing the instrument to set the desired listening
level.
This jack is for connection to an external audio
source. You can play the instrument with backing
music and accompaniment, like playing with a full
band. Adjust the input level from the volume control
of the external audio source for optimum balance.
These jacks for connection of the Pedal 1 or Pedal 2
footswitches. These pedals can be used simulta-
neously 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 and Pedal 2 to the PEDAL 2 jack.
• Make sure that the pedal plugs are properly con-
nected to the PEDAL jacks before turning on the
power.
The instrument also features MIDI terminals, allow-
ing you to interface the instrument with other MIDI
instruments or computers. (For more information, see
page 30.)
• MIDI cables (sold separately) must be used for con-
necting to MIDI devices. They can be bought at music
stores, etc.
• Always use a high-quality MIDI cable to connect MIDI
OUT to MIDI IN terminals. Never use MIDI cables
longer than about 15 meters, since cables longer than
this can pick up noise which can cause data errors.
Turn down the volume by turning the [MASTER
VOLUME] control to the left and press the
[STANDBY/ON] switch to turn on the power. Press
the [STANDBY/ON] switch again to turn the power
off.
• Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electric-
ity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.
When you are not using the DD-65/YDD-60 for a long time,
make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall
AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the instrument.
•Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. remove the batteries
or unplug the AC adaptor) during any record operation on
the instrument! Doing so can result in a loss of data.
• While the data is being recorded (“-”appears and moves from
left to right on the display), never interrupt the power supply
