PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions 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:
• 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.
• 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 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.
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-3B or an equivalent recommended by
Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the
instrument or overheating.
• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the
outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which
may have accumulated on it.
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:
• Do not place the AC adaptor 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.
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always
hold the plug itself and not the cord.
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause
overheating in the outlet.
• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during
electrical storms.
• Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or
battery fluid leakage.
• Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries
together with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline
batteries with manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or
different types of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause
overheating, fire, or battery 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.
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off
the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all
components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the
volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise
(4)-7
the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.
• 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 near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can
affect proper operation of the other products.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other
cables.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since
this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
• 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 operate the instrument 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.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use
or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

are for instructional purposes only, and may be different from the
ones on your instrument.

Setting Up
This section contains information about setting up your DD-35 for playing. Make
sure to read this section carefully before using the instrument.
Power Requirements
Although the DD-35 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 [STANDBY/ON] switch of the DD-35 is set to
STANDBY.
w Connect the AC adaptor (PA-3B or other adaptor specifically rec-
ommended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack.
e Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3B AC Power Adaptor (or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to power your instrument from
the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable
damage to both the adaptor and the DD-35.
• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the DD-35, or during
electrical storms.
PA-3B
Using Batteries
For battery operation the DD-35 requires six 1.5V “AA” size, R6P
(LR6) or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline batteries are recommended.)
When the batteries need to be replaced, the volume may be reduced,
the sound may be distorted, and other problems may occur. When this
happens, turn the power off and replace the batteries, as described
below.
q Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’s
bottom panel.
w Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity
markings on the inside of the compartment.
e Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in
place.
• 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.
• Plugging or unplugging the AC power adaptor while the batteries are
installed will reset the DD-35 to the defaults.

Using a pair of headphones
A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private practice or latenight playing. The internal speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of head
phones is plugged into the PHONES/OUTPUT jack.
Do not listen with the headphones at high volume for long periods of time. Doing so may
cause hearing loss.
• Connect the DD-35 to external equipment only after turning off power for all devices. To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before connecting
them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric shock or equipment damage.
• Use the sticks with caution. Do not use them for anything other than playing the instrument. Also,
to avoid damage or injury, refrain from waving them recklessly or throwing them.

Playing the Demo Song
The DD-35 features a demonstration song, specially created to show you the
dynamic possibilities of the instrument.
Turn on the power.
1
Turn the [STANDBY/ON] switch ON.
• Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the DD35 for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall
AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the instrument.
Start the Demo Song.
