Starting Up
Power supply
Before you connect the power adaptor, make sure that the
[STANDBY/ON] switch is set to STANDBY (Off).
1. Connect one end of the AC cable to the PA-300.
2. Connect the plug of the PA-300 to the DC IN connector
on the rear panel of the MOTIF-RACK ES.
3. Plug in the AC cable to an appropriate AC outlet.
n Follow this procedure in reverse order when disconnecting the power adaptor.
Use the specified adaptor (PA-300 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha)
only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or
overheating.
Make sure your MOTIF-RACK ES is rated for the AC voltage supplied in the area in
which it is to be used (as listed on the rear panel). Connecting the unit to the
wrong AC supply can cause serious damage to the internal circuitry and may
even pose a shock hazard!
Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to
the instrument at the minimum level. When not using the MOTIF-RACK ES for an
extended period of time, be sure to unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC
outlet.
Power-on procedure
Once you’ve made all the necessary connections (page 15)
between your MOTIF-RACK ES and any other devices, make sure
that all volume settings are turned down all the way to zero, then
turn on each device in order: first, MIDI masters (senders), MIDI
slaves (receivers), then audio equipment (mixers, amplifiers,
speakers, etc.). This ensures smooth signal flow from the first
device to the last (first MIDI, then audio).
n To turn off the power to the devices, first lower the volume of the audio
equipment, then turn off the power in the reverse sequence.
Tur ning the power of the
MOTIF-RACK ES on/off
To protect your speakers, before you turn the power to the MOTIF-RACK ES on or
off, lower the volume setting on the MOTIF-RACK ES and connected audio
equipment.
1. Press the [STANDBY/ON] switch.
The opening message appears in the LCD. After a while, the
default display appears.
n You can set the default display in the “PowerOnMode” parameter
([UTILITY] → General display).
n If the LCD is difficult to read, you may need to adjust the display contrast.
To do this, simultaneously hold down the [UTILITY] button and turn the
data dial.
2. Raise the sound system volume to a reasonable level.
3. Turn the [VOLUME] knob clockwise to set an
appropriate volume level.
4. When turning the MOTIF-RACK ES off, first turn off all
connected audio equipment or turn down the volume of
the equipment.
