CAUTION: READ THIS\Y BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT\f
To assure the finest per formance, please read this 
manual carefull\f. Keep it in a safe place for future 
reference.
1
 
 
\b
 nstall this unit in a well ventilated, cool, dr \f, 
clean place - awa\f from direct sunlight, heat 
sources, vibration, dust, moisture, and/or cold. 
(Do not use/keep this unit in a car etc.)
2
 

 
L
 ocate this unit awa\f from other electrical 
appliances, motors, or transformers to avoid 
humming sounds.
3
 

 
D
 o not expose this unit to sudden temperature 
changes from cold to hot, and do not locate 
this unit in an environment with high humidit\f 
(i.e. a room with a humidifier) to prevent con-
densation inside this unit, which ma\f cause an 
electrical shock, fire, damage to this unit, and/
or personal injur \f.
4
 

 
A
 void installing this unit where foreign objects 
ma\f fall onto this unit and/or this unit ma\f be 
exposed to liquid dripping or splashing. On the 
top of this unit, do NOT place:
−−
 O

ther components, as the\f ma\f cause dam-
age and/or discoloration on the sur face of 
this unit.
−− Burning objects (i.e. candles), as the\f ma\f  cause fire, damage to this unit, and/or 
personal injur \f.
−− Containers with liquid in them, as the\f ma\f  fall and liquid ma\f cause electrical shock to 
the user and/or damage to this unit.
5
 

 
D
 o not cover this unit with a newspaper, table-
cloth, curtain, etc. in order not to obstruct heat 
radiation. \bf the temperature inside this unit 
rises, it ma\f cause fire, damage to this unit, 
and/or personal injur \f.
6
 

 
D
 o not operate this unit upside-down. The\f ma\f 
overheat, possibl\f causing damage.
7
 

 
Do not use force on switches, knobs, and/or cords.
8  When disconnecting the power cable from the wall 
outlet, grasp the AC plug; do not pull the cord.
9  Do not clean this unit with chemical solvents; this 
might damage the finish. Use a clean, dr \f cloth.
10 Onl\f the voltage specified on this unit must  be used. Using this unit with a higher voltage 
than specified is dangerous and ma\f cause fire,

 \bf the power adaptor \fou are using has a ground-
ed three-prong plug, make sure that the plug is 
connected to an appropriate outlet with a protec-
tive grounding connection. \bmproper grounding 
can result in electrical shock. 
12 Do not connect the instrument to an electrical 
outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can 
result in lower sound qualit\f, or possibl\f cause 
overheating in the outlet.
13
 Before connecting the instrument to other elec-
tronic components, turn off the power for all com-
ponents. Before turning the power on or off for all 
components, set all volume levels to minimum.
14 Be sure to set the volumes of all components  at their minimum levels and graduall\f raise the 
volume controls while pla\fing the instrument to 
set the desired listening level.
15
 D

ods of time (i.e. when going on vacation), discon-
nect the power cable from the AC wall outlet.
17 Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOT\bNG” sec- tion regarding common operating errors before 
concluding that the unit is fault\f.
18
 B

 n  Tips on Creating So\bn\Yd
 THR’

s GA\bN t and MASTER y controls 
work in the same w\da\f as the preamp an\dd 
master controls on\d a tube amp. The G\dA\bN t 
control provides pr\deamp gain and disto\drtion 
while the MASTER y control affects p\dower 
amp level. The res\dponse of the MASTE\dR y 
control differs  de\dpending on the amp \dmodel 
used but it affects\d volume, gain and p\dower 
amp compression.Us\ding the GU\bTAR OUT-
PUT !3 control \fou can us\de the amp’s GA\bN 
t and MASTER y controls to set \fo\dur tone 
at an\f level.
 THR utilizes a new\dl\f designed amp-mode\dling 
technolog\f using Y

amaha’s Virtual Circuitr\f 
Modeling (VCM) tech\dnolog\f. VCM gives 
THR the power to m\dodel real amps incr\ded-
ibl\f accuratel\f, with each contro\dl working 
and responding exac\dtl\f as it does on t\dhe real 
thing.
