The DX7 II FD/D has been designed for years of trouble-free use. In order to ensure that

it remains a healthy member of your family of musical instruments, please keep the

following tips in mind:

Installation:

When setting up the DX in your home or studio, avoid exposure to direct sunlight or other

sources of heat. Environments with excessive dust, cold, dampness, or vibration can also

damage your instrument. Even though the DX is electronic, you should treat it with the

same kind of care you would lavish on any other musical instrument.

Also, since the DX is electronic, you should make sure not to set it too close to equipment

(such as a television set) that generates electromagnetic fields. Such proximity could

cause both malfunctions in the synthesizers digital circuitry and interference noise in the

other unit.

Moving:

When you move your DX, make sure to insert the head protection sheet into the disk drive

— the magnetic head of the drive is very sensitive to vibration, and needs this protection

if it is to survive road work.

Handling:

The DX is sturdy, but it can do without rough handling. Dont subject it to sudden jolts

(such as dropping it), as this can damage the internal circuitry. If you plan to travel with it,

be sure to use a road case. Also, make sure not to apply excessive force to any of the keys,

buttons, or other controls.

Cleaning:

To clean or dust your DX, use nothing more than a clean, slightly damp cloth. Using

chemical solvents will damage the finish, and using too much water may do considerable

damage to the internal circuitry.

AC Power & Other Equipment:

When you are using the DX with an amplifier or mixer that has unbalanced outputs,

connect both units to the same AC outlet to avoid hum.

If you use a number of electronic instruments in your setup, you may want to consult an

electrician, who can make sure that your system does not overtax the available power.
Tips 
						

							
AC Power & Down Time:

Whenever the DX will not be used for an extended period of time, it is best to protect it

from potential disaster. Electrical storms and other natural or man-made disasters can give

rise to power surges, which may damage the digital circuitry of your DX — even if the

power is turned off. Either unplug your instrument when not in use, or invest in power

strips with surge protectors to safeguard all of your electronic equipment.

Service & Your Warranty:

The DX contains no user-serviceable parts. Opening it up or tampering with it in any way

will void the warranty, and may also lead you to experience some nasty electrical shocks.

If you have a problem with your instrument, please take it to ah authorized Yamaha

service center.

Modifications & Your Warranty:

Unless you are assured to the contrary in writing, you should assume that any

modifications made to your DX will void the original product warranty. Therefore, you

should make sure that you receive a warranty (or some other kind of guarantee) from the

person or company that is responsible for the modification.
