IMPORTANT NOTES
291a
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT
SAFELY” on page 2, please read and observe the
following:
Placement
354a
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near
devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed
vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes.
Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
356
• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain
on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can
discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
Maintenance
401a
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth
or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To
remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a
mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe
the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or
deformation.
Additional Precautions
553
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks
and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
556
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you
will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s
internal elements.
558a
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use
headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about
those around you (especially when it is late at night).
558d
• This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous
sounds produced when it’s played. However, since sound
vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls to a
greater degree than expected, take care not to allow these
sounds to become a nuisance to neighbors, especially
when performing at night and when using headphones.

Assemble the Drum Stand.
About the Stand, refer to the owner’s manual for the
stand.

fig.TD-6V.e
• To attach the stand holder, remove the four 8 mm
screws (M5 x 8) from the bottom of the TD-6V and
use them. Use of other screws may result in
damage to the unit.
928
• When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch
of newspapers or magazines, and place them
under the four corners or at both ends to prevent
damage to the buttons and controls. Also, you
should try to orient the unit so no buttons or
controls get damaged.
929
• When turning the unit upside-down, handle with
care to avoid dropping it, or allowing it to fall or
tip over.

Before using the pad, tighten the
head so that the tension is rather firm.
Looseness in the head tension may result in problems such as
failure of the PDX-8’s rim shots to sound or double triggering.
Striking the head when the head tension is loose may
damage the sensor.
1.
Use the tuning key to tighten the tuning bolts.
Strike the head to check the feel and response.

Tighten each tuning bolt one by one, observing the
numerical order shown in the diagram. Do not firmly
tighten a single tuning bolt by itself. Doing so will make
it impossible to tension the head evenly, and will cause
malfunctions.

2.
Fine-tune the adjustment while continuing to
check the pad feel and response.
• On the PDX-8, adjusting the head tension affects only the
head response, and does not change the pitch of the
sound as it would on an acoustic drum.
• Head tension may slacken with the passage of time.
Readjust the tension as needed.
