The DX7 II FD/D has been designed for years of trouble-free use. In order to ensure that
it remains a healthy member of your family of musical instruments, please keep the
following tips in mind:
Installation:
When setting up the DX in your home or studio, avoid exposure to direct sunlight or other
sources of heat. Environments with excessive dust, cold, dampness, or vibration can also
damage your instrument. Even though the DX is electronic, you should treat it with the
same kind of care you would lavish on any other musical instrument.
Also, since the DX is electronic, you should make sure not to set it too close to equipment
(such as a television set) that generates electromagnetic fields. Such proximity could
cause both malfunctions in the synthesizer's digital circuitry and interference noise in the
other unit.
Moving:
When you move your DX, make sure to insert the head protection sheet into the disk drive
— the magnetic head of the drive is very sensitive to vibration, and needs this protection
if it is to survive road work.
Handling:
The DX is sturdy, but it can do without rough handling. Don't subject it to sudden jolts
(such as dropping it), as this can damage the internal circuitry. If you plan to travel with it,
be sure to use a road case. Also, make sure not to apply excessive force to any of the keys,
buttons, or other controls.
Cleaning:
To clean or dust your DX, use nothing more than a clean, slightly damp cloth. Using
chemical solvents will damage the finish, and using too much water may do considerable
damage to the internal circuitry.
AC Power & Other Equipment:
When you are using the DX with an amplifier or mixer that has unbalanced outputs,
connect both units to the same AC outlet to avoid hum.
If you use a number of electronic instruments in your setup, you may want to consult an
electrician, who can make sure that your system does not overtax the available power.
