Getting Started
1 Connect the power cord.
First insert the plug of the power cable into the AC INLET on the DDK-7, then
plug the other end of the cable into the proper AC outlet on the wall.
Only use the voltage specified as correct for the DDK-7. The required voltage
is printed on the name plate of the DDK-7. Yamaha products are
manufactured specifically for the supply voltage in the area where they are to
be sold. If you intend to use the instrument in another location, or if any
doubt exists about the supply voltage, please consult with a qualified
technician.
2 Connect the speakers or headphones.
Since the DDK-7 has no built-in speakers, you will need to monitor the sound
of the instrument by using external equipment. Connect a set of headphones,
powered speakers, or other playback equipment as required.
