DTXTREME III Owner’s Manual

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the

power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all
components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes
of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume
controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,

solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel.

If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from
the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service
personnel.

• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might

discolor the panel or keyboard.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not

use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time at a

high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing
loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a
physician.

Saving and backing up your data

• DRAM data is lost when you turn off the power to the instrument. Save the data

to external USB storage device.

• Never attempt to turn off the power while data is being written to Flash ROM

(while a “Please keep power on.” message is shown). Turning the power off in
this status results in loss of all user data and may cause the system to freeze
(due to corruption of data in the Flash ROM). This means that this instrument
may not be able to start up properly, even when turning the power on next time.

Saving factory preset data

• When you save your original data to flash ROM, the factory preset data in some

area of the flash ROM will be lost. Before saving your original data, be sure to
save the factory preset data to external USB storage device.

Backing up the external USB storage device

• To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you

save your important data onto two USB storage devices.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long
time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.
