Adjustment for Positional Sensing with the TD-8 or the TD-10
When the TD-8 or the TD-10 is used as the sound module, the location at which the pad is struck can be varied to produce tonal changes. In this case, it is important to adjust the head so the tension is evenly distributed, so the striking location can be detected accurately. For details on adjustments, refer to the TD8 or the TD-10 owner�s manual.

Connecting to the Percussion Sound Module

To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.

The TD-10 owner�s manual assumes use of the PD-100 and PD-120 pads in its explanation. If you are using the PD-80 or PD-80R, however, make adjustments while striking them 1 inch (3 cm) from the rim. Sound Module Trigger inputs that allow positional sensing TD-8 TD-10 3 (SNARE) 2 (SNARE)

When you have finished connecting to your drum sound module, refer to the recommended parameters on p. 2, and make the settings for the sound module.

Connecting to the TD-6V, TD-8, TD-10, HPD-15, SPD-20, or SPD-S
� Use the included cable to make connections. � With the PD-80R, make sure to use the supplied stereo cable when connecting it. Otherwise (if you use a monaural cable), you won�t be able to employ striking location detection, rim shot, and cross stick playing techniques. � Connect the L-shaped plug of the included cable to the PD-80/80R. This will prevent strain from being applied to the PD-80/80R.

Attaching the Pad to a Stand
Attach the PD-80 or PD-80R to a stand (MDS series).
