TipsThe DX7s has been designed for years of trouhle-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 DX7s 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 DX7s is electronic, you should treat it with
the same kind of care you would lavish on any other musical instrument.
Also, since the DX7s 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 synthesizer’s digital circuitry and interference noise
in the other unit.
Handling:
The DX7s is sturdy, but it can do without rough handling. Don’t 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 DX7s, 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 DX7s 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.
