Using other tuner types

The HD8/HD16 allows various other tuner types besides
chromatic tuning, including standard tuning for guitar and
bass, and various special tuning functions.
For these types it is necessary to first select a string number and
then tune the strings one by one.
1.
Connect the guitar or bass that you want to
tune to a high-impedance compatible INPUT
jack and press the [ON/OFF] key for the input
to which the instrument is connected, so that
the key is lit in red.
On the HD8, the INPUT jack 1 is high-impedance compatible.
On the HD16, the INPUT jacks 1 and 2 are high-impedance
compatible.
Verify that the [Hi-Z] switch is set to On.
2.
Hold down the [SHIFT] key and press pad 4
(INSERT EFFECT) several times, until the pad
is out.
