Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha Guitar with the Atmosfeel™ technology.
Featuring Yamaha’s newly developed three-way system with built-in piezoelec-
tric sensors, the acoustic guitar sound is captured as is, with amazing accuracy
across the entire frequency range - from low to high - creating an expressive,
natural warm stereophonic sound.To obtain the best performance and potential
from this instrument, we encourage you to read this manual before use.
Note that this manual covers only the electronic parts of this product. For infor-
mation on the other non-electronic parts, refer to the separate Acoustic Guitar
Owner’s Manual.

Master Volume
When a cable is connected to the rOutput Jack, the LED located inside the Master
Volume lights green for one second, then the Atmosfeel™ feature will be turned ON.
Turn the Master Volume control all the way down to the minimum before connecting/dis-
connecting a cable. The output level can be adjusted by turning this control to the right
(clockwise) to increase the level, or to the left (counterclockwise) to reduce the level.
w
Mic Blend
Adjusts the level of the sound picked up with the microphones installed inside the body.
Turning this control to the right (clockwise) to enhance the reverberation and spacious-
ness of the sound. In this condition, the output level is not changed.
NOTE Feedback might occur depending on the usage conditions. Use the wMic Blend or
the eBass EQ to adjust the sound.
e
Bass EQ
Adjusts the level of the low frequencies. Turning this control to the right (clockwise)
gradually boosts the lower frequencies. Turning it to the left (counterclockwise) gradu-
ally cuts the lower frequencies. Turn it to the left when you play in a band, turn it to the
right when you play solo and emphasize the bass.
r
Output jack/battery holder
The output jack and battery compartment are combined into a single unit. Inserting a
plug into the output jack switches the internal preamplifier ON. To prolong the life of
your battery, unplug the cable from the output jack when not in use.
