Specifications

In many cases, seemingly big problems or
malfunctions can be remedied easily. Please
check the following list before deciding that
your DD-20 is broken.
If the problem is not listed here or the suggested
remedy is ineffective, take the DD-20 to an
authorized Yamaha dealer for proper diagnosis
and repairs. Do not attempt to repair this digital
percussion instrument as serious damage may
occur.

A buzz or click occurs momentarily when the DD-
20 is turned ON or OFF.

This is a normal power surge noise that occurs
when the STANDBY/ON switch is operated.

The LED display is completely dark.

The batteries are low and should be replaced
immediately.

No sound comes from the speakers.

The volume is turned down too low and should be
adjusted up appropriately.

A plug is inserted into the HEADPHONES/AUX.
OUT jack and should be taken out immediately.

The wrong voice plays when you strike a percus-
sion pad.

The desired voice has not been assigned to the
percussion pad. Use the PAD ASSIGN function to
program the desired voice to the appropriate
percussion pad.

The custom pad voice assignments have disap-
peared or defaulted.

The batteries are low and should be replaced
immediately.

The STANDBY/ON switch has been turned
STANDBY and ON and the default voices have
replaced the desired voices. Use the PAD
ASSIGN function to program the desired voices
again.

When the percussion pads are struck, the LED
display goes dark momentarily and then changes
to the default reading “00”.

The batteries are low and should be replaced
immediately.
