PORTABLE DIGITAL DRUMS
(DD AND YDD SERIES)
Thank you for selecting a Yamaha product. Yamaha products are designed and manufactured to provide a high level of defect-free per-
formance. Yamaha Corporation of America (“Yamaha”) is proud of the experience and craftsmanship that goes into each and every
Yamaha product. Yamaha sells its products through a network of reputable, specially authorized dealers and is pleased to offer you,
the Original Owner, the following Limited Warranty, which applies only to products that have been (1) directly purchased from
Yamaha’s authorized dealers in the fifty states of the USA and District of Columbia (the “Warranted Area”) and (2) used exclusively in
the Warranted Area. Yamaha suggests that you read the Limited Warranty thoroughly, and invites you to contact your authorized
Yamaha dealer or Yamaha Customer Service if you have any questions.
Coverage:
Yamaha will, at its option, repair or replace the product covered by this warranty if it becomes defective, malfunctions or
otherwise fails to conform with this warranty under normal use and service during the term of this warranty, without charge for labor or
materials. Repairs may be performed using new or refurbished parts that meet or exceed Yamaha specifications for new parts. If
Yamaha elects to replace the product, the replacement may be a reconditioned unit. You will be responsible for any installation or
removal charges and for any initial shipping charges if the product(s) must be shipped for warranty service. However, Yamaha will pay
the return shipping charges to any destination within the USA if the repairs are covered by the warranty. This warranty does not cover
(a) damage, deterioration or malfunction resulting from accident, negligence, misuse, abuse, improper installation or operation or fail-
ure to follow instructions according to the Owner’s Manual for this product; any shipment of the product (claims must be presented to
the carrier); repair or attempted repair by anyone other than Yamaha or an authorized Yamaha Service Center; (b) any unit which has
been altered or on which the serial number has been defaced, modified or removed; (c) normal wear and any periodic maintenance;
(d) deterioration due to perspiration, corrosive atmosphere or other external causes such as extremes in temperature or humidity; (e)
damages attributable to power line surge or related electrical abnormalities, lightning damage or acts of God; or (f) RFI/EMI (Interfer-
ence/noise) caused by improper grounding or the improper use of either certified or uncertified equipment, if applicable. Any evidence
of alteration, erasing or forgery of proof-of-purchase documents will cause this warranty to be void. This warranty covers only the
Original Owner and is not transferable.
In Order to Obtain Warranty Service:
Warranty service will only be provided for defective products within the Warranted
Area. Contact your local authorized Yamaha dealer who will advise you of the procedures to be followed. If this is not successful, con-
tact Yamaha at the address, telephone number or website shown below. Yamaha may request that you send the defective product to a
local authorized Yamaha Servicer or authorize return of the defective product to Yamaha for repair. If you are uncertain as to whether
a dealer has been authorized by Yamaha, please contact Yamaha’s Service Department at the number shown below, or check
Yamaha’s website at www.Yamaha.com. Product(s) shipped for service should be packed securely and must be accompanied by a
detailed explanation of the problem(s) requiring service, together with the original or a machine reproduction of the bill of sale or other
dated, proof-of-purchase document describing the product, as evidence of warranty coverage. Should any product submitted for war-
ranty service be found ineligible therefore, an estimate of repair cost will be furnished and the repair will be accomplished only if
requested by you and upon receipt of payment or acceptable arrangement for payment.
