Using the Controls
■Using the LINE OUT jack (Using with a guitar amplifier or powered speaker, etc.)
1. Use a standard phone plug cable to connect the Silent Guitar’s LINE OUT jack to the input jack on the guitar amplifier or powered speaker, etc.
When the cable’s plug is inserted into the LINE OUT jack, power will be supplied to the Silent Guitar and the power lamp will light.
•Before making any connections, make sure that the output volume on the guitar amplifier or powered speaker, etc., is turned down or its power is switched OFF.
•When the guitar is not being used, disconnect the cable’s plug to save battery.
2.Rotate the VOLUME knob while playing, and adjust the volume to a suitable level.
•If the sound is distorted when playing vigorously, turn the VOLUME knob slightly to the left.
3.Rotate the BASS and TREBLE control knobs to adjust the sound quality.
Rotate the BASS knob to the right to increase the low frequencies, and to the left to decrease the low frequencies.
Rotate the TREBLE knob to the right to increase the high frequencies, and to the left to decrease the high frequencies.
4.The REVERB function can be used for adding reverb to the guitar’s tone to produce the live acoustic characteristics experienced in a room or hall.
Set the REVERB switch to its “1” position to add the type of reverb usually experienced in a room, or set the switch to its “2” position to add the type of reverb normally experienced in a hall.
•When compared to the REVERB switch’s REVERB 1 or REVERB 2 positions, the instrument consumes less power when the REVERB switch is in its OFF position.
•Some noise is produced when the position of the REVERB switch is changed.

■Using the stereo earphones (or stereo output to an external device)
When using the instrument with the supplied stereo earphones or a separately purchased pair of headphones, or when you want to send the instrument’s stereo output to an external device, use the headphones (PHONES) jack for connecting the earphones or external device.
1. Set the headphones ON/OFF switch, located on the right side of the control panel, to its “ON” position to supply power to the Silent Guitar. The power lamp will light.
2. Insert the earphone plug into the headphone jack. When connecting the instrument to an external device, connect the external device to the PHONES jack using a cable with a stereo plug.
3. The remaining procedures are the same as described above in the “Using the LINE OUT jack” section’s steps 2 through 4.
•When using a pair of headphones, do not operate at high volume levels for long periods of time. Doing so can lead to irreparable damage to your hearing.
•Do not disconnect or connect the plug when the headphones are placed over your ears.
