Yamaha Monaural 2 Way - Manual

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Be sure to replace the battery as soon as possible when the
battery check indicator lights in order to avoid reduced sound
quality.
* Be sure to remove the battery if the instrument will not
be used for an extended period of time in order to
prevent possible damage due to battery leakage.
The output jack is an EIAJ-standard 1/4" phone jack. Be sure
to use an appropriate connection cable.
The built-in preamplifier is automatically turned on when a
plug is inserted into the output jack. When not using the
instrument, or when playing it without amplification, be sure to
remove the plug from the output jack so that the preamplifier
power is turned off.
Always set the VOL. control to “0” when plugging in or
unplugging the connection cable.
The battery check indicator (BAT.) will light briefly when a
plug is inserted or removed from the output jack. This is
normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
Thank you for purchasing the YAMAHA Electric Acoustic Guitar.
Incorporating a piezo pickup matched with a condenser micro-
phone, this instrument achieves a realistically natural sound never
before attained. A newly developed pre-amp section is utilized,
designed to maximize the microphone's characteristics.
The guitar's control section is simple, easy to use, and designed
to fit any playing style.
In order to make the most of the advanced features and perfor-
mance provided by your guitar, please read this manual carefully
before using the instrument.

eEQUALIZER
LOW :
Adjusts the low frequency level
(+/–12dB).
HIGH :
Adjusts the high frequency level
(+/–12dB).
PRES. :
A d j u s t s t h e o v e r t o n e l e v e l
(+/–12dB). Adjusts the brilliance.
rA.M.F. Control
tMID Control
Mid-range equalization is carried
out by first selecting the center fre-
quency with the A.M.F. (Adjustable
Mid Frequency) knob. The MID
knob can then be used to boost or
cut (+/–12) the selected frequency.
ADJUSTING SADDLE HEIGHT (only for CPX)
String height can be adjusted at the bridge with the two adjuster
screws located on either side of the bridge. With the strings
loosened, rotate the adjuster screws to adjust string height. A
half turn will result in approximately a 0.4 mm adjustment.
• To raise the height of the strings → rotate the screw counter-clockwise (loosen
the screw).
• To lower the height of the strings → rotate the screw clockwise (tighten the
screw).
After adjustment of the string height is complete, tune the guitar.
* When you lower string height, loosen the truss rod a little (convex or
back-bowed). When you raise string height, tighten the adjusting
rod a little (concave or up-bowed), fret buzz will stop.

Sound Hole Cover
(Accessory)
Using the Sound Hole Cover
Feedback often occurs when controls are boosted on the electric
acoustic guitar to match the volume of other instruments when
playing in a band.
Another source of feedback results from using the BLEND control
to increase the output from the internal condenser mic.
When the instrument is used under the conditions described above,
the Sound Hole Cover should be inserted into the sound hole.
With the Sound Hole Cover in place, feedback is effectively re-
duced.
THE CONTROLS
By controlling the center frequency,
more substance can be given to the
tone.
For strumming, flat or cut settings
are better, for lead or fingering
boosting is recommended.
* The A.M.F. control will have no ef-
fect when the MID knob is centered.
yBLEND
Blends the tone of the Bar Sensor
(Piezo Pickup) and Condenser Mic.
With the control centered, a 50:50
mix is achieved. Fully rotating the
knob to the Piezo side allows only
Piezo tone output. Fully rotating to
the Mic. Side results in a mix of 70%
Mic and 30% Piezo.
To obtain a natural sound, set the
knob somewhere between its cen-
ter and the mic side.
For strumming in a band, set the
knob somewhere between its cen-
ter and the Piezo side.
