User manual ROLAND TU-1000

[. . . ] A brief interval (a few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will operate normally. some connection cables contain resistors. When connection cables with resistors are used, the sound level may be extremely low, or impossible to hear. [. . . ] The storefront display remains until you turn the TU-1000's power off and then on again, or until you press the TUNER ON/OFF switch. PITCH Indicator: Lights while the reference pitch is being set. POWER Indicator: Lights when the power is on. Tuning Guide Indicator: Indicates when the proper tuning is reached. Ultra-smooth, accurate motion and superior brightness of the meter's large-size LEDs makes tuning fast and easy Includes the Accu-Pitch sign function, which uses the motion of the meter's lights to show when tuning is completed Choose from two selectable display modes: "CENT, " where the LED meter functions like a needle-type meter, and "STREAM, " in which the lights' stream-like motion indicates when notes are out of tune. Switching on the tuner automatically mutes the output signal, allowing you to tune without outputting the sound Handles open tunings, DADGAD, and other alternate tunings, as well as flat or "down" tunings up to six semitones below standard tuning Supplies power to up to six effects processors Connecting an external footswitch lets you switch the tuner on and off remotely Connecting the instrument's plug turns on the tuner's power, and disconnecting the plug switches the power off. Disconnect the cord from the INPUT jack when not using the TU-1000. Use this when you want to split the signal from the INPUT jack and send it to a connected effects processor or guitar amp. For more on the note names in each tuning mode, refer to the Tuning Mode Note Name List. press the TUNER ON/OFF switch to turn the tuner on. The note name or string number for the note closest to the tone being played appears in the display. The meter and Tuning Guide show how far the note is from the correct pitch. When the desired note name or string number appears in the display, tune the instrument so that both Tuning Guide indicators are lit and the pitch matches that displayed by the meter. When you reach a stable pitch, the meter's lights then stream to the center from the left and right, indicating that tuning is completed (Accu-Pitch sign function). Connecting an FS-5U allows you to switch the tuner on and off away from the tuner. However, you can set the tuner so that the signal is output regardless of whether the tuner is on or off. The signal output from the OUTPUT jack passes through a buffer amp, and is converted to a low-impedance signal that is highly resistant to external noise. Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device, microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of other objects, such as guitars. [. . . ] Hold down [DISPLAY] and turn on the power (plug the instrument into the INPUT jack). When three seconds pass without [DISPLAY] being pressed, the setting is stored and the tuner returns to its normal mode. On: The meter lights stream to the center from the left and right. [. . . ]
