Rotate the [VOLUME] knob to be sure.

Use only the provided cables to connect the pads.

Stereo cable? (p. 18)
When using the PD-80R, PD-85, PD-105, PD-120, or PD-125 to
play rim shots, connect to Trigger Input "SNARE."
When using the PD-7, PD-8, PD-9, CY-6, CY-8, CY-12R/C, CY-
12H, CY-14C, or CY-15R to play rim shots (or edge/bell shots)
or choking, connect to Trigger Input "SNARE," "HI-HAT,"
"CRASH1," "CRASH2," or "RIDE."
The PD-6, PD-80, and PD-100 have no rim/edge possibility.
Is the Rim Sensitivity set to "0?" (p. 59)
Press [+] to set this to anything other than "0."
You need to set the "Rim Sensitivity" when using the PD-80R,

Cross Stick Does Not Work
Is the pad connected to a trigger input that is
capable of handling edge/rim signals? (p. 18)
When using the PD-80R, PD-85, PD-105, PD-120, or PD-125 to
play cross sticks, connect to SNARE trigger input jack. (Stereo
Cable)
Has the correct instrument been assigned to the rim?
(Drum Instrument List; p. 69)
When playing cross stick, select either "S1r," "S2r," "S3r,"
"S4r," "S10," or "S11" for the SNARE rim instrument.
Are you playing the cross stick correctly? (p. 20, p.
46)
Playing cross stick on electronic drums is a bit different. Be
sure your hand or stick does not strike the head also.
No Sound When the Pad is Hit Softly
Did you hit or touch a pad or press a pedal during
the TD-3's power up process?
Using the procedure of p. 14, turn the power on once again.
DO NOT touch any pads or pedals during the TD-3's power
up. When the TD-3 is turned on, it carries out a check of the
pads. If you strike a pad or press the pedal anytime during
this process, the pads cannot be checked properly, resulting in
incorrect functioning of the pads.
No Click/Metronome Sound
Does [CLICK] light? (p. 28)
Press [CLICK] to light the button.
Is the click volume level set to "0?" (p. 33)
Press [EDIT] a number of times to select "CLICK LEVEL,"
then press [+] to set this to anything other than "0."
