Tuning procedure

On the DTR-1000you can use the tuning meter to perform chromatic tuning.

On the DTR-2000you can use the tuning meter or a reference pitch to tune in eight different modes (refer to "Tuning modes" on the following page).

Tuning may not be possible if your instrument has an excessively high output level. In this case, lower the output level of the instrument that you are tuning

Connections

If you want to tune an electric guitar or bass, plug it into the INPUT 1, 2 jack.

The DTR-2000has INPUT 1 and 2 jacks. Use the INPUT SELECT switch to select the jack that you are using.

If you want to tune an acoustic instrument, use a contact mic (CM-100: sold separately).

On the DTR-2000if you use the INPUT SELECT switch to select the unused INPUT jack and then turn Mute on, you will be able to tune using the built-in mic. If you use the internal mic, place your instrument as close to the DTR-2000's mic as possible. Also be careful that the mic does not pick up sounds other than the instrument that is being tuned.

Tuning with the meter

1.Use the DISPLAY switch to select the type of tuning meter display.

CENT display

The display will show a range of -50 cents–+50 cents. Tune your instrument so that the 0 (▲) in the center of the meter is lit.

DTR-2000 only: Hz display

The display will show a range of -6 Hertz–+6 Hertz. Tune your instrument so that the 0 (▲) in the center of the meter is lit. If the pitch of your instrument is outside the range of the display, the meter will be darker.

2.As necessary, change the calibration or flat settings. On the DTR-2000you can also select the tuning mode.
