• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use
IMPORTANT NOTES cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit.
The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be
291a extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.
SAFELY” on page 2, please read and observe the
following:

Placement
354a
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near
devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed
vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes.
Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
356
• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain
on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can
discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

Maintenance
401a
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth
or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To
remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a
mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe
the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or
deformation.

Additional Precautions
553
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks
and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
556
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you
will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s
internal elements.
558a
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use
headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about
those around you (especially when it is late at night).
558d
• This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous
sounds produced when it’s played. However, since sound
vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls to a
greater degree than expected, take care not to allow these
sounds to become a nuisance to neighbors, especially
when performing at night and when using headphones.
559b
• When you need to transport the unit, pack it in shock-
absorbent material. Transporting the unit without doing
so can cause it to become scratched or damaged, and
could lead to malfunction.

• To attach the mounting plate, remove the four 8

mm screws (M5 x 8) from the bottom of the TD-6V
and use them. Use of other screws may result in
damage to the unit.

• When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch

of newspapers or magazines, and place them
under the four corners or at both ends to prevent
damage to the buttons and controls. Also, you
should try to orient the unit so no buttons or Narrow
controls get damaged.
