Powering Up - Yamaha S30 Owner's Manual

Powering Up

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

Switching the S30 On
In order to avoid possible damage to the speakers or other connected electronic equipment, always switch on the
power of the S30 before switching on the power of the amplified speakers or mixer and amplifier. Likewise,
always switch off the power of the S30 after switching off the power of the amplified speakers or mixer and
amplifier.
Even when the switch is in the "STANDBY" position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at a minimum
level. When not using the S30 for an extended period of time, be sure to unplug the AC power adaptor from the
wall AC outlet.
Before you switch your synthesizer on or off, first turn down the volume of any audio equipment connected to it.
