The PXR4 has a built-in tuner function.

This lets you tune an instrument connected to the [GUI- TAR IN] jack or [LINE IN] jack, or by using the internal mic.

Tuning your guitar

Set the [INPUT SELECT] switch to GUITAR.

If you want to tune using the internal mic, set this [INPUT SELECT] switch to MIC. If you want to tune an instrument connected to LINE, set this switch to LINE. However in the case of an instrument connected to LINE, only the L channel can be tuned.
