connections and procedures for recording guitar digitally to XGworks, then mastering
it to a digital recorder (such as an MD recorder).

1. Connect the guitar or guitar effect unit to the INPUT 1 or 2 jack using a
shielded guitar cable (with standard plugs).
Connect the headphones to the PHONES jack (page 12), or the powered
speakers to the OUTPUT jacks (page 14).
If you are using an external MIDI tone generator, connect it to the
UW500's MIDI OUT terminal or the TO TG terminal (page 21). Connect
the UW500's AUX IN jacks to the OUTPUT jacks of the tone generator.
Before connecting, be sure to turn off the power to the UW500.

2. Turn on the power to the UW500 by rotating the OUTPUT knob to the
