Before Use

This section explains how to connect to an AC power source, audio and MIDI devices, and a computer system. Only switch the synthesizer on after you have made all the necessary connections.

It is recommended that you read this section before using the synthesizer.

1Make sure that the instrument’s STANDBY/ON switch is at the STANDBY(off) position.

2Connect the PA-5C’s DC plug to the S30’s DC IN terminal on the instrument’s rear panel.

3Connect the adaptor’s AC plug to the nearest electrical outlet.

Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the Yamaha PA-5C or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha. The use of an incompatible adaptor may cause irreparable damage to the S30, and may even pose a serious shock hazard! ALWAYS UNPLUG THE AC ADAPTOR FROM THE AC POWER OUTLET WHEN THE S30 IS NOT IN USE.

Connections

Connecting to External Audio Equipment

Since the synthesizer has no built-in speakers, you need to monitor its sound output via external audio equipment. Alternatively, you could use a pair of headphones.

There are several methods of connecting to external audio equipment, as described in the following illustrations.

Connecting Stereo Powered Speakers

A pair of powered speakers can accurately produce the instrument’s rich sounds with their own pan and effect settings. Connect your powered speakers to the OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks on the rear panel.
