11If the power adaptor you are using has a grounded three-prong plug, make sure that the plug is connected to an appropriate outlet with a protective grounding connection. Improper grounding can result in electrical shock.

12Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

13Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum.

14Be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

νFeatures

•Compact design delivers professional quality guitar and audio sound.

*The THR utilizes a newly developed amp-modeling technology made possible with Yamaha’s original VCM technology*. With this new technology, the user interface is able to reproduce the operational characteristics of each control to deliver guitar amp sound with greater realism.

*The THR offers high quality audio sound that only a company like Yamaha, with its expertise in advanced audio technologies, can deliver. Its ability to playback audio files on a computer via

a USB connection, or playback audio files on a smartphone or other audio playback device connected to the AUX IN jack, makes it feel like you are in the studio, playing along with the musicians as they record. And because the THR is portable, you can enjoy this experience wherever you like.

•Incorporates VCM Effects similar to those found in Yamaha’s high-end mixers for high quality effects.

•Utilizes Yamaha’s original Extended Stereo technology to deliver an unbelievably wide stereo image, wider than the unit’s compact size.

•Includes a download access code for Steinberg’s professional quality music production software Cubase AI that lets you enjoy full-fledged recording in the convenience of your home.

•Two-way power system allows the unit to operate either on AC power or battery power so you can use the amp outside and other places that lack access to AC power.

•Includes a chromatic auto tuner.

*What is VCM Technology?

An original physical modeling technology developed by Yamaha, VCM Technology reproduces the characteristics of analog circuitry at a micro level to accurately reproduce the modeled equipment.
