STANDBY/ON switch

1 Make sure that the S08's STANDBY/ON switch is
at the STANDBY (off) position.
2 Connect the PA-5C's DC plug to the S08's DC IN
terminal on the instrument's rear panel.
3 Connect the adaptor's AC plug to the nearest
electrical outlet.
Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the
Yamaha PA-5C or an equivalent recommended by
Yamaha. The use of an incompatible adaptor may cause
irreparable damage to the S08, and may even pose a
serious shock hazard! ALWAYS UNPLUG THE AC
ADAPTOR FROM THE AC POWER OUTLET WHEN
THE S08 IS NOT IN USE.
Even when the switch is in the "STANDBY" position,
electricity is still flowing to the instrument at a minimum
level. When not using the S08 for an extended period of
time, be sure to unplug the AC power adaptor from the
wall AC outlet.

Power-on Procedure

When you have made all the necessary connections
between your S08 and any other devices (page 13),
make sure that all volume settings are turned down all
the way to zero. Then turn on every device in your
setup in the order of MIDI masters (senders), MIDI
slaves (receivers), then the audio equipment (mixers,
amplifiers, speakers, etc.). This ensures smooth MIDI
operation and prevents speaker damage.
When powering down the setup, first turn down the
volume for each audio device, then switch off each
device in the reverse order (first audio devices, then
MIDI).

the power of the amplified speakers or mixer and
amplifier.
