Yamaha NTX1200R Owner's Manual
PRECAUTIONS
l
Always set the VOLUME control to “0” when plugging in or unplug-
ging the connection cable.
l
The battery check indicator (BATT.) will light briefly when a guitar
cable is inserted or removed from the output jack. This is normal
and does not indicate a malfunction.
l
The built-in preamplifier is automatically turned on when a guitar
cable is inserted into the output jack. When not using the instrument,
or when playing it without amplification, be sure to remove the guitar
cable from the output jack so that the preamplifier power is turned off.
Also, even when the power is switched off, the system consumes a
small amount of power for the tuner standby mode. If the instrument is
not going to be used for an extended period of time, we recommend that
the battery be removed in order to avoid power consumption or leakage.

Tune the guitar string until the note name of the desired pitch appears
in the tuner’s display.

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.
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 reduced.
