Yamaha YDP-88, YDP-88E User Manual
IMPORTANT
Check Your Power Supply
Make sure that your local AC mains voltage
matches the voltage specified on the name
plate on the bottom panel. In some areas a
voltage selector may be provided on the
bottom panel of the main keyboard unit near
the power cord. Make sure that the voltage
selector is set for the voltage in your area. A
voltage selector is provided in some areas.
The voltage selector is set at 220V when the
unit is initially shipped. To change the setting
use a “minus” screwdriver, coin, or similar
implement to rotate the selector dial so that the
correct voltage appears next to the pointer on
the panel.

Taking Care Of Your YDP-88
Your YDP-88 is a fine musical instrument, and deserves the most careful treatment.
Observe the following points and your YDP-88 will sound and look great for many years.
1 Never open the case and touch or tamper with the internal
circuitry.
2 Always turn the POWER switch OFF after use, and cover
the keyboard with the dust cover provided.
3 Clean the cabinet and keys of your YDP-88 only with a
clean, slightly damp cloth. A neutral cleanser may be used
if desired. Never use abrasive cleansers, waxes, solvents
or chemical dust cloths since these can dull or damage
the finish.

with vinyl can cause irreversible damage to the finish.
