Turn up your guitar, and watch the meters in the upper-right corner

of the screen.
Meters
Play as loudly as you plan to during recording, and slowly turn up the
4
REC LEVEL wheel until the guitar's level is as loud as possible without
lighting a peak indicator to the right of the meters.
As you turn the REC LEVEL wheel, you see your current REC LEVEL value
displayed onscreen.
If you're having trouble with too little level from your guitar, press
MENU, highlight INPUT SENS, and then press ENTER again. Turn the dial
to increase the input level sensitivity. When you're done, press EXIT a
few times to return to the home screen.
Turn up the VOLUME wheel to set your listening level.

Tuning Up

Before you start playing, you'll want to be sure you're in tune. Here's how to
use the BR-80's built-in tuner.
While holding down the RHYTHM button, press COSM.

The TUNER screen appears.
Play an open string on your guitar—it doesn't matter which string
2
you begin with. The BR-80 analyzes the note's pitch and shows you
the name of the note at the top of the screen.
If the note name is wrong, it means the string's so out of tune it's
playing an entirely different note. Tune the string until you see the
correct note name.
The BR-80's ability to recognize any pitch means it can tune your guitar
even when you're using non-standard guitar tunings.
If the note's
•
sharp—you'll see arrows at the right of the screen showing how
sharp the note is. (The note's sharp in the screenshot above.)
•
flat—you'll see arrow to the left of the screen showing you how
flat it is.
•
in tune—the two large arrows at the center of the screen light
together.
Adjust the pitch of your guitar string until it's perfectly in tune.
