Your YDP-88 is a fine musical instrument, and deserves the most careful treatment.
Observe the following points and your YDP-88 will sound and look great for many years.
Taking Care Of Your YDP-88
1
Never open the case and touch or tamper with the internal
circuitry.
2
Always turn the POWER switch OFF after use, and cover
the keyboard with the dust cover provided.
3
Clean the cabinet and keys of your YDP-88 only with a
clean, slightly damp cloth. A neutral cleanser may be used
if desired. Never use abrasive cleansers, waxes, solvents
or chemical dust cloths since these can dull or damage
the finish.
4
Never place any vinyl products on your YDP-88. Contact
with vinyl can cause irreversible damage to the finish.
5
Install your YDP-88 in a place that is away from direct
sunlight, excessive humidity or heat.
6
Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or
other parts of your YDP-88, and avoid scratching or
bumping it with hard objects.
7
Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the
voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom panel.
In some areas a voltage selector may be provided on the
bottom panel of the main keyboard unit near the power
cord. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the
voltage in your area. The voltage selector is set at 220V
when the unit is initially shipped. To change the setting
use a “minus” screwdriver or similar implement to rotate
the selector dial so that the correct voltage appears next
to the pointer on the panel.
