Setting Up And Playing Your Gw50 - Yamaha GW50 Owner's Manual

SETTING UP AND PLAYING YOUR GW50

Once you've taken your GW50 out of the box and are ready to use it, follow the
simple instructions below in making the connections and setting it up.
1.
First, make sure that the power switch on the
GW50 is off before making ANY connec-
tions.
2.
Plug the DC output cable from the supplied
PA-3 adaptor into the DC IN terminal on the
rear panel, then plug the adaptor into a con-
venient AC outlet.
Cable clip (see page 15).
DC IN
Note:
Be sure to check whether the rated voltage is
appropriate. The provided adaptor is intended
for use in the area which you purchased the
GW50. If you intend to use it in a different area,
consult your Yamaha dealer for more informa-
tion on voltage requirements.
Do not attempt to use a different AC adap-
tor with the GW50. The use of an incompat-
ible adaptor may cause irreparable damage
CAUTION
to the unit and pose a serious shock hazard.
3.
Plug your instrument into the INPUT jack on
the rear panel.
For the sake of these instructions, we'll
assume you're using an electric guitar; how-
ever, most any electronic instrument can be
used.
Note:
You should be careful if you are connecting a
synthesizer or electronic keyboard; generally
their output level is much higher than that of a
guitar and the input level (see step #6 below)
should be turned down accordingly.
Do not connect the BACKING/MONO output
jack with the INPUT jack in an attempt to
use the effects of the GW50 on the Backing
CAUTION
sound. Doing so results in feedback.
4.
Connect the GW50 outputs to your amplifier/
speaker system, making sure that the power
on the system is first turned off.
Four example connection systems are
shown below. Use the one which most
closely resembles your own system.
Note:When using Distortion on the GW50,
use the clean channel of the guitar amp.
