WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, shortcircuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not
excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it
in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is
printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Use the specified adaptor (page 31) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in
damage to the instrument or overheating.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.
• This instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open the instrument or
attempt to disassemble or modify the internal components in any way. If it should
appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by
qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or
place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings. If any
liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the power immediately and
unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by
qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
• Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries together with

for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all
volume levels to minimum.
• Be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually
raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening
level.
• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel.
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use
excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time at a high or
uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you
experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

Make all necessary settings below BEFORE turning the power on (page 9).
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power of all the components.
Also, before turning any components on or off, make sure to set all volume levels to minimum (0). Otherwise,
electrical shock or damage to the components may occur.
Power Requirements
Although the instrument will run either from an AC power adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an
AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not
deplete resources.
Using an AC Power Adaptor
q Connect the AC adaptor to the power supply
jack.
• Use the specified adaptor (page 31) only. The use of other
adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the instrument.
w Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.
• Even when the instrument is turned off, electricity is still
flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you
are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you
unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.
• Connecting the AC power adaptor automatically supplies power
from the adaptor and overrides battery power, even when batteries are installed.
Using Batteries
q Open the battery compartment cover located on
the instrument’s bottom panel.
w Insert six “AA” size, LR6 or equivalent batteries,
being careful to follow the polarity markings on
the side of the compartment.
e Replace the compartment cover, making sure
that it locks firmly in place.
When battery power becomes too low for proper
operation, the volume may be reduced, the sound
may be distorted, and other problems may occur.
When this happens, make sure to replace all batteries, following the precautions listed below.
• Use alkaline batteries for this instrument. Other types of
batteries (including rechargeable batteries) may have sudden drops of power when battery power becomes low.
• Make sure to install the batteries with the proper orientation, maintaining the correct polarity (as shown). Incorrect
battery installation may result in heat, fire and/or leaking of
corrosive chemicals.
• When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete
set of six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries.
Do not use different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and
manganese) at the same time.
• If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove
the batteries from it, in order to prevent possible fluid leakage from the battery.

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.
• 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.
• 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.
DD-45/YDD-40 Owner’s Manual
This jack is for connection of an optional pedal FC4
or FC5. The pedal can be used to play the Drum
