10 MM6 Owner’s Manual
Setting Up
Be sure to do the following BEFORE turning
on the power.
Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the
instrument is set to STANDBY.
Plug the adaptor’s DC plug into the DC IN jack on
the instrument’s rear panel.
Plug the AC adaptor (PA-5D or other adaptor specif-
ically recommended by Yamaha) into a convenient
AC wall outlet.
Wrap the DC output cable of the adaptor around the
cable clip (as shown above) to prevent accidental
unplugging of the cable during operation.
Avoid tightening the cord more than necessary or pull-
ing on the cord strongly while it is wrapped around the
cable clip to prevent wear on the cord or possible break-
age of the clip.
Make all necessary connections, as
described below, BEFORE turning the power
on.
Since the MM6 has no built-in speakers, it must be con-
nected to an external amplifier and speakers, head-
phones, or other sound output device.
You can connect the instrument’s USB terminal to the
USB terminal of a computer to allow transfer of perfor-
mance data and song files between the two (page 77).
To use the USB data-transfer features you’ll need to do
the following:
• First, make sure the POWER switch on the MIDI
device is set to OFF, then use a USB cable to con-
nect the MIDI device to the computer.
• Install the USB-MIDI Driver on your computer.
You can download the proper USB-MIDI driver from
our website:

Refer to the instructions included with the USB-MIDI
Driver download package for the USB-MIDI Driver
installation procedure.

Using Headphones

Connecting to a Computer (USB Terminal)

• Do not use headphones at a high volume for an extended period
of time. Doing so may cause hearing loss.
• When connecting the MM6 to external equipment make sure that
the power to all external devices is turned off to prevent possible
electrical shock or equipment damage. Also be sure to turn any
volume controls on external equipment to minimum when making
connections to prevent possible speaker damage.
CAUTION
•USB cables can be purchased at some musical instrument stores, com-
puter stores, and similar retail outlets.
