Important

Read the following before operating the DCD1+PS.

Warnings

• Do not locate the DCD1+PS in a place subject to excessive heat, low temperatures, or direct sunlight. This could be a fire hazard and may damage the finish and internal parts.

• Excessive humidity or dust can lead to fire or electric shock.

• Connect the plug on the AC adaptor to a compatible AC outlet. Failure to do so will present a fire and electric shock hazard. If the power cable plug is not compatible with your AC outlet, consult your dealer.

• Do not plug several devices into the same AC outlet. This can overload the AC outlet, and lead to fire and electric shock hazard. It may also affect the performance of some devices.

• Do not place heavy objects on the AC adaptor cable. A damaged power cable is a potential fire and electric shock hazard. If the power cable runs under a carpet, make sure heavy objects are not placed on top of it.

• If the AC adaptor cable is damaged (i.e. cut or a bare wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a replacement. Using the DCD1+PS in this condition is a fire and shock hazard.

• When disconnecting the AC adaptor cable from an AC outlet, always pull from the plug. Never pull the cable. Damaging the cable in this way is a potential fire and electric shock hazard.

• The cover of the unit should be removed only by qualified service technicians.

• Do not place liquid containers such as vases, potted plants, glasses, cosmetic bottles, medicines, etc., on top of the DCD1+PS.

• Do not try to modify the DCD1+PS, as this could lead to fire or electric shock hazard.

• When moving the DCD1+PS to another location, turn off the power, remove the AC adaptor from the AC outlet, and remove all cables connected to external devices.

Cautions

• Turn off all audio devices when connecting to the DCD1+PS. Refer to the user’s guide for each device. Use the correct cables and connect as specified.

• Set the volume level on all the devices to minimum before applying power.

• Do not play the DCD1+PS at a high volume for extended periods; you may damage your hearing. This is especially important when using headphones. If you think your hearing ability is impaired, consult your doctor.

• If you notice any abnormality — such as smoke, odor, or noise — turn off the DCD1+PS immediately, and remove the AC adaptor from the AC outlet. Consult your dealer for repair.

• If a foreign object or water gets inside the DCD1+PS turn it off immediately, and remove the AC adaptor from the AC outlet. Consult your dealer.

• If you plan not to use the DCD1+PS for a long period of time (such as when you are on vacation), disconnect the AC adaptor from the AC outlet.

• Always remove the power plug from the AC outlet before cleaning the DCD1+PS. Leaving the power plug connected presents a risk of electric shock.

• Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent, or a chemical cloth to clean the DCD1+PS.

• Do not place metal objects with rubber feet on top of the DCD1+PS. The color and finish of the DCD1+PS can be damaged.

• Do not place heavy objects on the DCD1+PS. Doing so can damage the DCD1+PS.

• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the DCD1+PS. However, if you discover a stain, carefully use a soft damp cloth to remove it.

Interference

• The DCD1+PS uses high-frequency digital circuits that may cause interference to radios and TVs placed close to it. If interference does occur, relocate the affected equipment.

Handling Batteries

The remote control of this unit is powered by dry batteries. Improper use or misuse of the dry batteries can cause the dry batteries to heat up, leak electrolyte or burst which in turn may result in a fire, damage to equipment and/or nearby objects or in burns, injury or other bodily harm. Read through and familiarize yourself with the following safety precautions prior to use to ensure correct usage.

• Do not directly touch the chemicals (electrolyte) which have leaked from dry batteries.

1. If electrolyte from dry batteries has made

contact with your eyes, rinse your eyes thoroughly with clean water and seek medical treatment from a physician immediately.

2. If electrolyte from dry batteries has touched

your skin or clothing, rinse it off immediately with clean water.

3. If electrolyte from dry batteries has found

its way inside your mouth, gargle immediately and consult a physician.

• Do not install the dry batteries with the “+” and “–” poles reversed. Misaligning the poles of dry batteries can lead the dry batteries to be charged or shorted or it can cause them to heat up, leak electrolyte or burst which in turn may result in a fire, damage to nearby objects or in burns, injury or other bodily harm.

• Use only the designated batteries. Do not use used batteries with unused batteries or different types of batteries together. This can cause them to heat up, leak electrolyte or burst which in turn may result in a fire or in burns, injury or other bodily harm. Replace all the dry batteries at the same time. Do not use new and old dry batteries together. Do not use dif ferent types of batteries (alkaline and manganese batteries, batteries made by different manufacturers or different battery products made by the same manufacturer) together: this can cause them to heat up, ingite or leak electrolyte.

• When the battery-powered unit is not going to be used for a prolonged period of time, remove the dry batteries from the unit. Otherwise the batteries will run down and their electrolyte may leak, resulting in damage to the unit.

• Remove spent batteries immediately from equipment. Otherwise, batteries will overdischarge, causing them to heat up, leak electrolyte or burst which in turn may result in damage to nearby objects or in burns, injury or other bodily harm.

• Dispose of batteries in accordance with the applicable regulations and ordinances.

Please keep this manual for future reference.

Types of CDs That Can Be Used

The DCD1+PS can be used to play CDs from the PianoSoft.PlusAudio selection — Yamaha’s uniqe audio/MIDI CDs, as well as standard audio CDs sold on the market and audio/MIDI CDs of other companies.

Note: PianoSoft.PlusAudio may not be available in

some countries.

Note: PianoSoft.PlusAudio and other audio/MIDI

CDs cannot be used for recording purposes.

Yamaha PianoSoft.PlusAudio

and Other Audio/MIDI CDs

PianoSoft.PlusAudio (and audio/MIDI CDs of other companies) contain data recorded in two channels: Analog MIDI and audio.

When you play back a PianoSoft.PlusAudio, your piano plays the piano parts which are recorded on the MIDI channel, and all other instrumental and vocal sounds recorded on the audio channel are output from the speakers or headphones. The DCD1+PS will faithfully reproduce the audio sounds of the CD as a stereo system would, but with the additional feature of a live piano performance. (See notes at left.)

Battery Replacement

When the remote control fails to work from a distance, replace the batteries.

• Replacement batteries should be UM-3, AA, R6P, or LR6 type.

• Always replace both batteries.

• If the remote control is not to be used for a prolonged period of time, remove the batteries to prevent possible damage by battery leakage.

Important: Be sure to read the section on Handling

Batteries on page ii of “Important” for details on the safe handling of dry batteries.
