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.

● Name Plate Location

The YDP-88 name plate is located on the bottom panel.
