Overview

The Yamaha Atmosfeel Acoustic Electric Guitar is an instrument featuring Yamaha's newly developed three-way system with built-in piezoelectric sensors. This system is designed to capture the acoustic guitar sound with high accuracy across the entire frequency range, from low to high, aiming to create an expressive, natural, and warm stereophonic sound.

Usage Features:

The guitar's electronic controls are integrated into a single unit, providing intuitive adjustments for various sound parameters.

  • Master Volume (1): This control manages the overall output level of the guitar. When a cable is connected to the Output Jack (4), an LED inside the Master Volume knob illuminates green for one second, indicating that the Atmosfeel™ feature is activated. Before connecting or disconnecting a cable, it is recommended to turn the Master Volume control all the way down to its minimum setting. The output level can be increased by turning the control clockwise and decreased by turning it counterclockwise.

  • Mic Blend (2): This knob adjusts the level of the sound picked up by the microphones installed inside the guitar body. Turning this control clockwise enhances the reverberation and spaciousness of the sound without altering the overall output level. It's noted that feedback might occur depending on usage conditions, and users can adjust either the Mic Blend or Bass EQ to manage the sound.

  • Bass EQ (3): This control allows for adjustment of the low frequencies. Turning the control clockwise gradually boosts the lower frequencies, which can be useful for solo playing to emphasize the bass. Conversely, turning it counterclockwise gradually cuts the lower frequencies, a setting that might be preferred when playing in a band.

  • Output Jack/Battery Holder (4): This component combines the output jack and the battery compartment into a single unit. Inserting a plug into the output jack automatically switches the internal preamplifier ON. To conserve battery life, it is advised to unplug the cable from the output jack when the instrument is not in use.

Maintenance Features (Battery Replacement):

The guitar's battery system is designed for user-friendly replacement.

  1. Release the Lock: To access the battery holder, slide the tab on the endpin section in the direction indicated by the diagram to release the lock.
  2. Remove Holder: Once unlocked, pull out the battery holder.
  3. Insert Batteries: Insert two AA batteries, ensuring that their polarity markings are correctly aligned with those on the battery holder.
  4. Secure Holder: Slide the battery holder back into the endpin section until it locks securely.

Important Notice for Nickel-Metal Hydride Batteries: When using nickel-metal hydride batteries, care should be taken not to damage the battery casing or poles during installation and removal.

Remaining Battery Level Indicator:

The LED located inside the Master Volume knob serves as a battery indicator. It flashes red when the batteries need to be changed. Once the LED starts flashing, the remaining operation time is approximately two hours with alkaline batteries and about one hour with nickel-metal hydride batteries. This time can vary depending on operating conditions. It is recommended to replace the batteries as soon as possible when the LED flashes red.

Important Precautions:

  • Do Not Open: The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Users should not attempt to open, disassemble, or modify the internal components. In case of malfunction, discontinue use and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
  • Water Warning: To prevent damage, avoid exposing the guitar to damp or rainy conditions. Do not place it near containers that could spill liquids into the guitar's openings or electronic components. If moisture or liquid enters the guitar, immediately turn off the power and have it inspected by a qualified service technician.
  • Abnormality Detection: If any of the following problems occur, immediately turn off the power, remove all batteries, and have the instrument inspected: unusual smells or smoke, an object dropped into the instrument, or a sudden loss of sound.
  • Connection: Before connecting to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Set all volume levels to minimum before powering components on or off. Gradually raise volume controls to achieve the desired listening level while playing.
  • Location: Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
  • Handling Caution: Avoid resting weight on or placing heavy objects on the instrument. Do not use excessive force on the controllers or connectors.

Important Notes:

Yamaha is not responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications. Information regarding batteries can be found in the Specifications Section of the owner's manual.
