Preparation and demo performances

Before you begin playing

About the stand
This instrument does not include a stand. Refer to page 17 if you wish to use
the ST-SV1 optional keyboard stand (sold separately) with the D1.
Connecting the included AC adapter
Insert the DC plug end of the AC adapter into the DC 9V jack on the rear panel,
and connect the plug of the AC adapter to an AC outlet.
Pass the AC adapter cord through the cord hook so that the plug won't be
removed from the jack accidentally (Fig. 1). When you unhook the cord, don't
pull on the cord with force.
Be sure to use the AC adapter that came with your unit. Using other AC
adapters may cause the malfunctions or other unforeseen events.
Be sure to plug the unit into an AC outlet of the appropriate voltage.
Connecting a audio equipment and headphones
The D1 does not have built-in speakers. In order to hear the sound of your per-
formance, you'll need to connect the LINE OUT of the D1 to other audio equip-
ment such as a monitor amplifier, a mixer or a stereo set, or connect a pair of
headphones to the headphones jack.
You must only connect devices with the power turned off. Careless operation
may damage the D1 or the device where it's connected, or malfunctions may
be caused.
Connection cables are sold separately. You will need to obtain the appropri-
ate commercially-available cables for your equipment.
Using a monitor amp or mixer
To use a monitor amp or mixer, use the LINE OUT jacks.
Plug in audio cables from the D1 to the input jack of a monitor amp or other au-
dio equipment.
The D1's audio output is designed to produce a signal level that is higher
than ordinary consumer audio equipment such as CD players. For this
reason, playing at an excessive volume may damage the connected
speakers or audio equipment, so use caution with the volume level.
1. Minimize the volume of all connected equipment, and turn off the power.
2. Connect the D1's LINE OUT jacks to the input jacks of your monitor amp
or mixer.
If you're playing back through your stereo audio system or an audio player
that has external input jacks, connect the D1 to the jacks that are marked
LINE IN, AUX IN, or external input. (You might need to obtain the appropri-
ate adapter plug or conversion cable.)
Using the headphones
Use the headphones jacks when connecting headphones.
Use stereo headphones with a stereo 1/8" mini plug.
Use headphones at night or when you don't want disturb others.
To protect your hearing, do not listen to loud, high-volume sounds for ex-
tended periods of time through headphones.
