Turning On the Power
Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to
your various devices in the order specified. By turning on
devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction
and/or damage to speakers and other devices.
1. Before you turn the power on, make sure of the
following points.
• Are all external devices properly connected?
• Is the volume on the GT-6B, your amp, and all other
connected devices turned down to the minimum level?
* The GT-6B's volume is adjusted with the OUTPUT LEVEL
knob on the rear panel. Turning this completely to the left
(counterclockwise) sets the volume to the minimum level.
2. Switch ON the POWER switch on the GT-6B’s rear
panel.
The display changes, and the following appears in the
display. After a brief interval (a few seconds), the unit
switches to regular performance mode. The screen that
appears at that point is called the “
Play screen .”

3. Next, turn on the power to the bass amp (power amp).
Adjusting the Output Level
Adjust the GT-6B’s output level with the OUTPUT LEVEL
knob on the rear panel.

The explanations in this manual include illustrations that
depict what should typically be shown by the display.
Note, however, that your unit may incorporate a newer,
enhanced version of the system (e.g., includes newer
sounds), so what you actually see in the display may not
always match what appears in the manual.
