Yamaha DDK-7 Quick Introductory Guide

DDK-7 Owner’s Manual 11

Quick Introductory Guide

Whether you are an advanced performer or have never touched an electronic keyboard in your life, we

recommend that you take the time to go through this basic section. It shows you in the simplest

possible manner how to start playing your DDK-7.

Connect the power cord.

First insert the plug of the power cable into the AC INLET on the DDK-7, then

plug the other end of the cable into the proper AC outlet on the wall.

Connect the speakers or headphones.

Since the DDK-7 has no built-in speakers, you will need to monitor the sound

of the instrument by using external equipment. Connect a set of headphones,

powered speakers, or other playback equipment as required.
