Placement
• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on
which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar
the surface.
Additional Precautions
• 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 others nearby.
• When disposing of the packing carton or cushioning material
in which this unit was packed, you must observe the waste
disposal regulations that apply to your locality.
• The rubber portion of the striking surface is treated with a
preservative to maintain its performance. With the passage of
time, this preservative may appear on the surface as a white
stain, or reveal how the pads were struck during product
testing. This does not affect the performance or functionality of
the product, and you may continue using it with confidence.
• Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration of the pad, but
this will not affect the pad’s function.

USING THE UNIT SAFELY IMPORTANT NOTES
WARNING
Use only the supplied AC adaptor and the correct
voltage
Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the
unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the installation
matches the input voltage specified on the AC adaptor’s
body. Other AC adaptors may use a different polarity, or be
designed for a different voltage, so their use could result in
damage, malfunction, or electric shock.
Component names NOTE
• Be sure to adjust the head tension of the pad before use.
• PDX-6A does not support the use of the rim-shot technique.
9 PDX-8 (Snare) / PDX-6A (Tom)
Adjusting the head tension
1. Adjust each tuning bolt a little at a time, moving in order from one side to the opposite
side as shown in the illustration.
The appropriate amount of tension is one that will provide approximately the same
striking response as on an acoustic drum.
2. Use the drum key to adjust the tension as needed.

When using on the floor
NOTE
• Attach the kick pad and the kick pedal securely.
• Take care not to pinch your fingers.
• Depending on how you’re using the unit, the
bolts that attach the pedal to the plate could
become loose, causing the pedal to rattle during
performance. In such cases, use commercially
available tools to tighten the bolts.
Adjusting the Anchor Bolts
If you’re using this unit on a V-Drums mat, on a
Noise Eater (NE-10), or on carpet, extending the
anchor bolts will secure the unit in place, making
it easier for you to perform.
When using a twin pedal
Position the two beaters equally apart from the center of the pad as shown in
the figure.
If one of the beater is further away from the center than the other, the sound
from the further beater will be lower in volume, or will not sound as desired.
Using a twin pedal will result in lower sensitivity as compared to when a
single pedal is used. Raise the sensitivity on the sound module
For details, refer to “TD-07 Owner’s Manual.”
NOTE
• When used on flooring, the anchor bolts
may damage the floor.
• The tips of the anchor bolts are sharp.
Handle with care.
