including the internal mics.

• The effect (

tuner, you can turn down the [OUTPUT LEVEL] knob

Tune the string so that the left and right

If the string is tuned within +/-50 cents of the correct
pitch, tuning guides are displayed in the screen,
indicating the distance between the actual pitch and
the displayed note name.

When only the right guide
is displayed:

The pitch is above the
displayed note name (i.e.,
sharp).

When only the left guide
is displayed:

The pitch is below the
displayed note name (i.e.,
flat).

When both the right and
left guides are displayed:

The pitch matches the
displayed note name.

Repeat Steps 2–4 to tune each of your
instrument’s strings.

MEMO

• If you’re tuning a guitar that has a vibrato tailpiece,

tuning one string may cause other strings to drift out of
tune.

If so, start by tuning each string to the approximate
pitch, and then continue tuning each string in turn until
they are all at the correct pitch.
