Yamaha DJX Owner's Manual - Setting Up

SETTING UP

This section contains information about setting up your DJX for playing.  Make

sure to read this section carefully before using the instrument.

■

 When the Batteries Run Down

When the batteries run low and the battery

voltage drops below a certain level, the DJX may

not sound or function properly.  As soon as this

happens, replace them with a complete set of

six new batteries.

• Never mix old and new batteries or different types of

batteries (e.g., alkaline and manganese).

• To prevent possible damage from battery leakage, remove

the batteries from the instrument if it is not to be used for a

long time.

BATTERIES 1.5V x 6

POWER REQUIREMENTS

Although the DJX will run either from an op-

tional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recom-

mends use of the more environmentally safe AC

adaptor. Follow the instructions below according

to the power source you intend to use.

Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. remove the batteries or

unplug the AC adaptor) during any DJX record operation!

Doing so can result in a loss of data.

Using an AC Power Adaptor

To connect your DJX to a wall socket, you will

need the optionally available Yamaha PA-5B/5C

Power Adaptor.  Use of other AC adaptors could

result in damage to the instrument, so be sure to

ask for the right kind.  Connect one end of the

adaptor to the DC IN 10-12V jack on the rear

panel of your DJX, and the other end to a

suitable electrical outlet.

• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5B/5C 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 DJX.

• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the DJX, or

during electrical storms.

Using Batteries

■

 Inserting Batteries

Turn the instrument upside-down and remove

the battery compartment lid.  Insert six 1.5-volt

size “D” (SUM-1, R-20 or equivalent) batteries as

shown in the illustration, making sure that the

positive and negative terminals are properly

aligned, and replace the lid.

TURNING ON THE POWER

With the AC power adaptor connected or with

batteries installed, simply press the power switch

until it locks in the ON position.  When the

instrument is not in use, be sure to turn the

power off.  (Press the switch again so that it

pops up.)

Even when the switch is in the “STAND BY” position, electricity

is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When

you are not using the DJX 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.
