scratches and more serious damage.

■ Cleaning
• Clean the guitar body with a dry soft cloth.
• A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove stubborn grime and dirt.
• Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner.

■ Electrical Interference
• This unit contains electric circuitry and may cause interference if placed too close to radio or televi-
sion receivers. If this occurs, move it further away from the affected equipment.

YAMAHA is not responsible for damage caused by improper handling or operation.

 Power Supply
The Silent Guitar operates either on battery power or with an AC adaptor however,
it will consume more power when the reverb function is in use. For that reason, we
recommend that it be powered with the supplied AC power adaptor for normal use.
Always turn the PHONES ON/OFF switch OFF before making AC power connec-
tions or replacing the battery.

■ Supplying AC Power
1. Plug the adaptor’s DC output cable into the Silent Guitar’s DC IN jack, making sure the plug is firmly
inserted into the jack.
2. Plug the AC adaptor into a convenient wall AC power socket.

• Battery power is automatically disconnected when the AC adaptor is connected.

• When the AC adaptor is used, the batteries may leak. To prevent leakage we recommend that you remove
the batteries from the instrument. When the AC adapter is used.
• When using an AC adaptor, make sure you use only one of the following recommended adaptors (Recom-
mended Adaptors: PA-D09, PA-1E, PA-3C). The use of any other adaptor may result in damage to the
instrument or cause fire, etc. Please use with caution.

■ Installing the Battery

6LR61 9V
1. Be sure to use a 9-volt alkaline battery 6LR61. (not Battery compart-
Alkaline battery

• When using a battery, please use an alkaline bat-
tery. Use of a manganese battery will result in an
extremely shorter battery life depending upon the
type of battery used.

2. Remove the battery compartment cover, located on

the back side of the Silent Guitar, by sliding the tab
labeled “OPEN” toward the head of the guitar.
3. Attach the 9-volt battery 6LR61 to the battery snap, Battery snap
and place it in the battery case.

4. Close the battery compartment cover.

When battery power becomes low, the reverb will no longer operate, the lamp will not light and noise will
be present. Replace the battery with a new alkaline battery as soon as possible.
• Always follow the +/– signs when inserting the battery. Improper insertion may result in fire.
• To prevent possible damage to the unit due to battery leakage and unnecessary power drain, remove
the battery from the unit when it is not going to be used for an extended period of time.

02_slg100s_en.pm65 9 06.8.22, 11:05 AM

 Using the Controls
■ Using the LINE OUT jack (Using with a guitar amplifier or powered speaker, etc.)
1. Use a standard phone plug cable to connect the Silent Guitar’s LINE OUT jack to the input jack on the
guitar amplifier or powered speaker, etc.
When the cable’s plug is inserted into the LINE OUT jack, power will be supplied to the Silent Guitar
and the power lamp will light.
• Before making any connections, make sure that the output volume on the guitar amplifier or powered
speaker, etc., is turned down or its power is switched OFF.
• When the guitar is not being used, disconnect the cable’s plug to save battery.

2. Rotate the VOLUME knob while playing, and adjust the volume to a suitable level.
• If the sound is distorted when playing vigorously, turn the VOLUME knob slightly to the left.

3. Rotate the BASS and TREBLE control knobs to adjust the sound quality.
Rotate the BASS knob to the right to increase the low frequencies, and to the left to decrease the low
frequencies.
Rotate the TREBLE knob to the right to increase the high frequencies, and to the left to decrease the high
frequencies.
4. The REVERB function can be used for adding reverb to the guitar’s tone to produce the live acoustic
characteristics experienced in a room or hall.
Set the REVERB switch to its “1” position to add the type of reverb usually experienced in a room, or set
the switch to its “2” position to add the type of reverb normally experienced in a hall.
• When compared to the REVERB switch’s REVERB 1 or REVERB 2 positions, the instrument consumes
less power when the REVERB switch is in its OFF position.
• Some noise is produced when the position of the REVERB switch is changed.

 Connecting External Devices

■ AUX IN jack
• The AUX IN jack can be used to connect an external stereo signal source to the Silent Guitar.
Connecting the audio output of a CD player, cassette player, etc. to the instrument allows you to play
along with the external audio source.

• The AUX IN jack’s signal level can be controlled with the AUX IN level control.

■ Output Jacks (LINE OUT Jack/Headphone Jack)

• The LINE OUT jack can be connected to an external input jack on a device such as a guitar amplifier,
powered speaker, mixing console, etc., using a separately purchased standard stereo (monaural) phone
cable. This allows monitoring or recording of the Silent Guitar’s sound via an external device.
Connecting the LINE OUT jack to the INPUT jack on an electronic tuner, allows tuning of the instru-
ment in the same manner as other electronic instruments.

• When using the supplied stereo earphones, insert the earphone plug into the headphones jack (PHONES)
and turn the headphone ON/OFF switch to its “ON” position.

• The LINE OUT jack is a monaural type jack while the headphones jack is stereo.

• Before connecting the Silent Guitar to any external devices, make sure that the power of all
related devices is turned OFF. Set the volume level of any external audio sources to the mini-
mum level before connecting anything. High volume settings could cause damage to the equip-
ment and your hearing.
• Be careful not to step on the cord. The cord may break, equipment may be damaged, and this
may cause a substantial shock to your ears.
• The signal from the Silent Guitar’s output jacks must NEVER be returned to the AUX IN jack,
either directly or through external equipment. Doing so will result in feedback which may
cause damage to the internal electronics.
