Using a pair of headphones
A standard pair of stereo headphones can be
plugged in here for private practice or late-night
playing. The internal stereo 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 peri-
ods of time. Doing so may cause hearing loss.
• Connect the DD-55 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 con-
necting them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in elec-
tric shock or equipment damage.
•Since speakers are built into the
DD-55, you should be careful to
never leave any video tapes,
cassette tapes, floppy disks or
any kind of magnetic storage
media on the panel — doing so
may result in data loss or dam-
age to the items. Also avoid
using the DD-55 near a televi-
sion or computer monitor, since
interference may result.
• 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 reck-
lessly or throwing them.
Using the Foot Pedals (1/2)
When connected, these pedals can be used simulta-
neously play the drum set’s hi-hat pedal or bass drum
voices — or they can also be assigned to play other
voices as well. Connect the supplied Pedal 1 to the
PEDAL 1 jack @4 and Pedal 2 to the PEDAL 2 jack @1.
•Make sure that the pedal plugs are properly connected
to the PEDAL jacks before turning on the power.
• Do not press Pedal 2 while turning the power on.
Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the
pedal, resulting in reversed pedal operation.
•Avoid using the pedals directly on a soft floor, since
they may scratch the surface of the floor.
•Avoid getting caught in or tripping over the pedal
cords; this may cause the instrument to fall and result
in damage or injury.
