Yamaha NTX1200R Owner's Manual

ELECTRIC
ACOUSTIC GUITAR
Owner's Manual
Thank you for choosing a Yamaha electric-acoustic guitar.
In order to make the most of the advanced features and per-
formance provided by your guitar, please read this manual
carefully before using the instrument.
PRECAUTIONS
Always set the VOLUME control to "0" when plugging in or unplug-
l
ging the connection cable.
The battery check indicator (BATT.) will light briefly when a guitar
l
cable is inserted or removed from the output jack. This is normal
and does not indicate a malfunction.
The built-in preamplifier is automatically turned on when a guitar
l
cable is inserted into the output jack. When not using the instrument,
or when playing it without amplification, be sure to remove the guitar
cable from the output jack so that the preamplifier power is turned off.
Also, even when the power is switched off, the system consumes a
small amount of power for the tuner standby mode. If the instrument is
not going to be used for an extended period of time, we recommend that
the battery be removed in order to avoid power consumption or leakage.

USING THE SOUND HOLE COVER
r
Feedback often occurs when controls are boosted on the electric acoustic
guitar to match the volume of other instruments when playing in a band.
When the instrument is used under the conditions described above, the
Sound Hole Cover should be inserted into the sound hole.
With the Sound Hole Cover in place, feedback is effectively reduced.
The guitar is equipped with an A4=440Hz standard pitch tuner. The
tuner's circuitry is independent from the guitar's output circuit so switch-
ing the tuner ON/OFF will have no affect on sound output.
q Press the TUNER switch. While the tuner activates the
lamps flash simultaneously.
w Tune the guitar string until the note name of the desired pitch appears
in the tuner's display.

is pressed (energy saving function). To continue tuning, press the TUNER switch again.
* It may take a few seconds before the tuner can detect pitches after being switched ON.
* The note name and
pitch changes. Gradually change the pitch and check when tuning.
* The tuner may have difficulty detecting notes rich with overtones or with very short sustain.
* The battery check indicator may light momentarily when the tuner button is pressed.
This is not a sign however, that the battery power is low. The battery check indicator
lights continuously when battery power is low. Please change the battery at this time.
