OWNER'S MANUAL

Welcome

Welcome to the DX7 IIFD/D,the newest members ofthe growing family ofFM digital

synthesizers from Yamaha. Using the industry-standard DX7 asits starting point, the DX

II offers a number ofimportant new features, such asimproved sound quality, two-layer

voice programming, additional FM features, new performance options, an expanded

front-panel LCD display, and on-board disk storage (onthe DX7IIFD).

Sincethere issomuch material available onthe DX7 family ofsynthesizers (and on the

theory ofFMdigital synthesis), this manual willnot be an FM tutorial. Instead, it has

been designed to bea “usersmanual” in the truest sense — it's goalistohelp you make

music withyour new DX7IIFD asquickly aspossible.

Ifyou arealready familiar with the operation ofthe original DX7, this manual will help

you make the transition tothe DX7IIFD in short order.On the other hand, ifthis isyour

first FMdigital instrument, this manual will guide you into the operation ofyour new

synthesizer with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions and explanations.

After you arecomfortable with the operation ofyour new synthesizer, you may want to

xplore the fascinating world of FM digital voicing. Ifso, consult the extensivelistof

reference works onFMsynthesis listedin the bibliography atthe back ofthis manual.

The DX7 IIFD/D has been designedfor years of trouble-free use. In order to ensure that

it remains a healthy member ofyour family of musical instruments, please keep the

following tips in mind:

Installation:

When settingup the DX in your home orstudio, avoid exposure todirect sunlight orother

sourcesofheat.Environments with excessive dust, cold, dampness, orvibration can also

damage your instrument. Even though the DX iselectronic, you should treat it with the

samekind ofcare you would lavish onany other musical instrument.

Also, sincethe DX iselectronic, you should make sure not tosetit too closetoequipment

(such asa 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.

Moving:

When you move your DX, make sure to insert the head protection sheetinto the disk drive

—the magnetic head ofthe drive isvery sensitive tovibration, and needs this protection

ifit isto survive road work.

Handling:

TheDX issturdy, but itcan do without rough handling. Don't subject ittosudden jolts

(such asdropping it), asthis can damage the internal circuitry. Ifyou plan totravel with it,

be sure touse a roadcase.Also, make surenot to apply excessiveforce toany ofthe keys,

buttons, orother controls.

Cleaning:

Toclean ordust your DX, 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& OtherEquipment:

When you areusing the DX with an amplifier ormixer that has unbalanced outputs,

connect both units to the sameAC outlet to avoid hum.

Ifyou use a number ofelectronic instruments in your setup, you may want to consult an

electrician, who can make sure that your system doesnot overtax the available power.

Tips

AC Power& Down Time:

Whenever the DX will not be used for an extended period oftime, it isbest to protect it

from potential disaster. Electrical storms and other natural orman-made disasters can give

rise to power surges,which may damage the digital circuitry ofyour DX — even ifthe

power isturned off. Either unplug your instrument when not in use,orinvest in power

strips with surge protectors to safeguard all ofyour electronic equipment.

Service & Your Warranty:

The DX contains no user-serviceable parts. Opening it up or tampering withit in any way

will void the warranty, and may also leadyou to experience some nasty electrical shocks.

Ifyou have a problem with your instrument, please take it to ah authorized Yamaha

servicecenter.

Modifications & YourWarranty:

Unless you areassured to the contrary in writing, you should assume that any

modifications made toyour DX will void the original product warranty. Therefore,you

should make sure that you receive a warranty (orsomeother kind ofguarantee) from the

person orcompany that isresponsible for the modification.
