Important
Read the following before operating the DCD1+PS.
Warnings
• Do not locate the DCD1+PS in a place subject
to excessive heat, low temperatures, or direct
sunlight. This could be a fire hazard and may
damage the finish and internal parts.
• Excessive humidity or dust can lead to fire or
electric shock.
• Connect the plug on the AC adaptor to a
compatible AC outlet. Failure to do so will
present a fire and electric shock hazard. If the
power cable plug is not compatible with your
AC outlet, consult your dealer.
• Do not plug several devices into the same AC
outlet. This can overload the AC outlet, and
lead to fire and electric shock hazard. It may
also affect the performance of some devices.
• Do not place heavy objects on the AC adaptor
cable. A damaged power cable is a potential
fire and electric shock hazard. If the power
cable runs under a carpet, make sure heavy
objects are not placed on top of it.
• If the AC adaptor cable is damaged (i.e. cut or
a bare wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a
replacement. Using the DCD1+PS in this
condition is a fire and shock hazard.
• When disconnecting the AC adaptor cable
from an AC outlet, always pull from the plug.
Never pull the cable. Damaging the cable in
this way is a potential fire and electric shock
hazard.
• The cover of the unit should be removed only
by qualified service technicians.
• Do not place liquid containers such as vases,
potted plants, glasses, cosmetic bottles,
medicines, etc., on top of the DCD1+PS.
• Do not try to modify the DCD1+PS, as this
could lead to fire or electric shock hazard.
• When moving the DCD1+PS to another
location, turn off the power, remove the AC
adaptor from the AC outlet, and remove all
cables connected to external devices.
Cautions
• Turn off all audio devices when connecting to
the DCD1+PS. Refer to the user’s guide for
each device. Use the correct cables and
connect as specified.
• Set the volume level on all the devices to
minimum before applying power.
• Do not play the DCD1+PS at a high volume
for extended periods; you may damage your
hearing. This is especially important when
using headphones. If you think your hearing
ability is impaired, consult your doctor.
• If you notice any abnormality — such as
smoke, odor, or noise — turn off the
DCD1+PS immediately, and remove the AC
adaptor from the AC outlet. Consult your
dealer for repair.
• If a foreign object or water gets inside the
DCD1+PS turn it off immediately, and remove
the AC adaptor from the AC outlet. Consult your
dealer.
• If you plan not to use the DCD1+PS for a long
period of time (such as when you are on
vacation), disconnect the AC adaptor from the
AC outlet.
• Always remove the power plug from the AC
outlet before cleaning the DCD1+PS. Leaving
the power plug connected presents a risk of
electric shock.
• Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent,
or a chemical cloth to clean the DCD1+PS.
• Do not place metal objects with rubber feet on
top of the DCD1+PS. The color and finish of
the DCD1+PS can be damaged.
• Do not place heavy objects on the DCD1+PS.
Doing so can damage the DCD1+PS.
• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the DCD1+PS.
However, if you discover a stain, carefully use
a soft damp cloth to remove it.

ii
Interference
• The DCD1+PS uses high-frequency digital
circuits that may cause interference to radios
and TVs placed close to it. If interference does
occur, relocate the affected equipment.
Handling Batteries
The remote control of this unit is powered by dry
batteries. Improper use or misuse of the dry
batteries can cause the dry batteries to heat up,
leak electrolyte or burst which in turn may result
in a fire, damage to equipment and/or nearby
objects or in burns, injury or other bodily harm.
Read through and familiarize yourself with the
following safety precautions prior to use to ensure
correct usage.
• Do not directly touch the chemicals
(electrolyte) which have leaked from dry
batteries.
1. If electrolyte from dry batteries has made
contact with your eyes, rinse your eyes
thoroughly with clean water and seek
medical treatment from a physician
immediately.
2. If electrolyte from dry batteries has touched
your skin or clothing, rinse it off
immediately with clean water.
3. If electrolyte from dry batteries has found
its way inside your mouth, gargle
immediately and consult a physician.
• Do not install the dry batteries with the “+”
and “–” poles reversed. Misaligning the poles
of dry batteries can lead the dry batteries to be
charged or shorted or it can cause them to heat
up, leak electrolyte or burst which in turn may
result in a fire, damage to nearby objects or in
burns, injury or other bodily harm.
• Use only the designated batteries. Do not use
used batteries with unused batteries or different
types of batteries together. This can cause them
to heat up, leak electrolyte or burst which in
turn may result in a fire or in burns, injury or
other bodily harm. Replace all the dry batteries
at the same time. Do not use new and old dry
batteries together. Do not use different types of
batteries (alkaline and manganese batteries,
batteries made by different manufacturers or
different battery products made by the same
manufacturer) together: this can cause them to
heat up, ingite or leak electrolyte.
• When the battery-powered unit is not going to
be used for a prolonged period of time, remove
the dry batteries from the unit. Otherwise the
batteries will run down and their electrolyte
may leak, resulting in damage to the unit.
• Remove spent batteries immediately from
equipment. Otherwise, batteries will
overdischarge, causing them to heat up, leak
electrolyte or burst which in turn may result in
damage to nearby objects or in burns, injury or
other bodily harm.
• Dispose of batteries in accordance with the
applicable regulations and ordinances.
Please keep this manual for future reference.

Types of CDs That
Can Be Used
The DCD1+PS can be used to play CDs from the
PianoSoft.PlusAudio selection — Yamaha’s uniqe
audio/MIDI CDs, as well as standard audio CDs
sold on the market and audio/MIDI CDs of other
companies.
Note: PianoSoft.PlusAudio may not be available in
some countries.
Note: PianoSoft.PlusAudio and other audio/MIDI
CDs cannot be used for recording purposes.

English Chapter 3: Connecting the DCD1+PS
Connecting the DCD1+PS to Your Piano
Note: For Control Units that support the PianoSmart function, the connection method differs depending on
whether the PianoSmart function will be used or not.
Note: Before connecting the DCD1+PS to your piano, make sure that both the DCD1+PS, and the Control Unit
are turned off. Connecting/disconnecting audio cables with the power left on is especially dangerous, as a
very loud noise is emitted.
Place the DCD1+PS on a flat surface not too far from the Control Unit.
Note: As the MIDI cable supplied with the DCD1+PS is 3 meters, place the DCD1+PS in a range that will leave
some slack in the cable in order to avoid accidents from tripping on the cable.
If your piano is:
MX80 Series / MX95 / MX100A/B /
Earlier Grand models / Mark II Series
PianoSmart cannot be used.
