Setting Up
Using a Drum Stand
Position mark
An optional stand Yamaha SS662 is available for
installing this instrument. Fix the instrument on the
stand's arms, aligning the stand position marks on
the bottom of the instrument.
NOTE
• Do not tighten the arms more than necessary. Over tightening
may result in bending the instrument.
CAUTION
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it
may overturn; doing so can result in damage to the instru-
ment or personal injury.
• Before moving the instrument, remove the stand from the
instrument. Otherwise it may fall off.
Connecting Headphones

([PHONES/OUTPUT] jack)

Connect a set of headphones to the [PHONES/OUT-
PUT] jack. The speaker of this instrument is automat-
ically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack.
The [PHONES/OUTPUT] jack also functions as an
external output. You can connect the [PHONES/
OUTPUT] jack to a keyboard amplifier, stereo system,
mixer, or other line-level audio device to send the
instrument's output signal to that device.
WARNING
• Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for
long periods of time; doing so may not only result in ear
fatigue, it may be damaging to your hearing.
CAUTION
• When the instrument's sound is output to an external device,
first turn on the power to the instrument, then to the external
device. Reverse this order when you turn the power off.

Connecting an Audio Source
([AUX IN] jack)
This jack is for connection to an external audio
source such as an MP3 player. You can play the
instrument with backing music and accompani-
ment, like playing with a full band. Adjust the input
level from the volume control of the external audio
source for optimum balance.
CAUTION
• When the sound of an external device is output to the
instrument, first turn on the power to the external device,
then to the instrument. Reverse this order when you turn
the power off.
NOTE
• Any audio signal input to the [AUX IN] jack is processed in mono.
Connecting a Pedal ([PEDAL] jack)
This jack is for connection of an optional pedal FC4
or FC5. The pedal can be used to play the Drum
Kit's bass drum Voices—or can also be assigned to
play other Voices as well.
CAUTION
• Make sure that the pedal plug is properly connected to the
[PEDAL] jack before turning on the power.
• Do not press the pedal while turning the power on. Doing
this changes the recognized polarity of the pedal, resulting
in reversed pedal operation.
• Protect the floor by placing a mat or area rug underneath
the pedal. The pedal may damage the floor after an
extended period of time.
• Avoid getting caught in or tripping over the pedal cords;
this may cause the instrument to fall and result in damage
or injury.
NOTE
• Voice: In this manual, a voice means an instrument sound or
"tone."
