PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical
shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/AC power adaptor
• 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 (PA-5D, PA-150 or an equivalent recommended by
Yamaha) 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.
• Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators,

on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll
anything over it.
Do not open
• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or
modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it
should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Water warning
• 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.
Fire warning
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
If you notice any abnormality
• If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a
sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or
smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch,
disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage
to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/AC power adaptor

fluid leakage.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged.
• When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used for a long time,
remove the batteries from the instrument to prevent possible leakage of the
battery fluid.
• Keep batteries away from children.
• If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the battery fluid
should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with
water and consult a doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause
loss of sight or chemical burns.
Location
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or
heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to
prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal
components.
• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile
phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may
generate noise.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.

Setting Up
Be sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power.
Power Requirements
Although the instrument will run either from an optional AC 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 Make sure that the power of the instrument
is off (display shows no indications).
WARNING
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-5D, PA-150, or an equivalent
recommended by Yamaha) only. The use of other adaptors
may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the
instrument.
w Insert the six new alkaline batteries, being
careful to follow the polarity markings on
the side of the compartment.
w
e
Adaptor
AC outlet
w Connect the AC adaptor to the power supply jack.
e Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
CAUTION
• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.
•Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. remove the batteries
or unplug the AC adaptor) during any DD-65/YDD-60 record
operation! Doing so can result in a loss of data.
• 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.
Using Batteries
q Open the battery compartment cover located
on the instrument’s bottom panel.
e Replace the compartment cover, making
sure that it locks firmly in place.
CAUTION
•Never connect or disconnect the AC power adaptor when the
power is on and the batteries are installed. Doing so will turn
the power off.
For battery operation the instrument requires six 1.5V
“C” size, LR14 or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline batteries are recommended.) 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.
CAUTION
• 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.

About the Pad Sound Mechanism
Each time you strike a pad, the sensor which is located at the bottom of the pad triggers an electronic signal and makes
a drum sound.
If you strike a pad too strongly, nearby sensors may also respond to the hit and trigger unwanted sounds. The DD-65/
YDD-60 is set to ignore weak signals from the pads in order to prevent inadvertent, unwanted sounds. However, this
may result in problems when intentionally striking two pads simultaneously. If one pad is struck strongly and the other
weakly, the pad struck weakly may not sound (even though you want it to).
18
To solve this, you can change the DD-65/YDD-60 settings or alter your playing technique (as described below).
● Striking two pads simultaneously results in one of the pads not sounding.
→ Set the pad sensitivity level to 2. This may solve the problem if you strike one of the pads weakly.
→ Better yet, take care to strike both pads with equal force.
● Striking one pad results in other pads also sounding, even though they were not
struck.
→ Set the pad sensitivity level to 0. With this setting, pads that are not struck are effectively kept from
responding to strong hits on nearby pads.
