ZTurn Power On
After making sure that the YDP-88’s AC plug is properly inserted into a con-
venient AC wall outlet, press the [POWER] switch located to the left of the
keyboard to turn the power ON. (In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided
to match the pin configuration of the AC wall outlets in your area.)
When the power is turned ON, the [PIANO] voice selector LED will light
(the PIANO voice is automatically selected whenever the power is turned ON).
Initially set the [MASTER VOLUME] control about half way between the
“MIN” and “MAX” settings. Then, when you start playing, re-adjust the [MAS-
TER VOLUME] control for the most comfortable listening level.
Select the desired voice by pressing one of the voice selectors.
The YDP-88 offers keyboard touch response, so the volume and timbre of
notes played can be controlled according to how “hard” you play the keys. The
amount of variation available depends on the selected voice.
POWER
Press the [DEMO] button to engage the demo mode — the voice selectors
will flash in sequence.
Press one of the flashing voice selectors to start playback of the correspond-
ing demo tune — featuring the voice normally selected by that voice selector
button. The demo tunes will play in sequence until stopped, starting with the
selected tune. The voice selector indicator will flash during demo playback.
Use the [MASTER VOLUME] control to adjust the volume.
NOTE
• The [TEMPO] control does not affect demo playback.
You can start playback of any other demo tune during playback by simply
pressing the corresponding voice selector. Playback will stop and the playback-
ready mode described in step 2, above, will be re-engaged if you press the voice
selector of the demo that is currently playing.
Press the [DEMO] button when you want to stop demo playback and return
to the normal play mode.
