Tuning an Instrument (Tuner)
The BR-600 has a built-in “chromatic tuner function” that
allows you to tune your instrument quickly.
The built-in tuner supports both guitar and bass guitar.
As an example here, we will explain how to use the tuner to
tune your guitar.
* It is not possible to play back or record while using the tuner.
Check the following points before you begin.
• That your guitar is connected to the GUITAR/BASS
jack.
• That [GUITAR] indicator on the INPUT SELECT
button is lit.
• Adjust the GUITAR/BASS/MIC2 dial to correct the
input sensitivity (p. 36).
If [GUITAR] indicator is off, press [GUITAR] to turn it on.
1
Confirm that [PAD] is not lit, then press [TUNER] to
display the Tuner screen.

2
To exit the tuner, press [TUNER] once again (or press
[EXIT]) to return to the Play screen.
When the built-in tuner of the BR-600 is used, the reference
pitch is shown in the upper left of the display, and the note
name in the right. The lower part will display a tuning
guide to indicate the difference between the input sound
and the displayed note.
fig.06-080
If the difference between the input pitch and the correct
pitch is less than +/-50 cents, the tuning guide will indicate
the amount of the difference.
While viewing the tuning guide, adjust the tuning so that
“ ” is positioned midway “ ” between the two sides.
1
Play a note using the string you are tuning.
The screen will indicate the note name that is closest to
the pitch of the string you played.
* Cleanly play a single note only on the string you wish to
tune.
2
Continue tuning until the pitch name of the string
you are tuning appears in the display.

Changing to the Tuner
You cannot switch from the Tuner screen to other
screens (except the Play screen).
If you do not want to output the tuning sounds, either
turn down the MASTER fader.
