1 Read these instructions.  
2 Keep these instructions.  
3 Heed all warnings.  
• Do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as  
vases, on the apparatus.  
• Do not install this apparatus in a confined space such  
as a book case or similar unit.  
4 Follow all instructions.  
• The apparatus should be located close enough to the  
AC outlet so that you can easily grasp the power cord  
5 Do not use this apparatus near water.  
6 Clean only with dry cloth.  
plug at any time.  
• An apparatus with Class I construction shall be  
connected to an AC outlet with a protective grounding  
connection.  
7 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in  
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.  
• Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) should  
not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine,  
fire or the like.  
8 Do not install near any heat sources such as  
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus  
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.  
• Excessive sound pressure from earphones and head-  
phones can cause hearing loss.  
9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized  
or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two  
blades with one wider than the other. A grounding  
type plug has two blades and a third grounding  
prong. The wide blade or the third prong are

manufacturer.  
12 Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or  
table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the  
apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when  
moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid  
injury from tip-over.  
13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or  
when unused for long periods of time.  
14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been  
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or

1 - Introduction  
Handling of compact discs  
The.GA-30CD.has.been.designed.for.the.playback.  
of.CD-DA.(standard.audio).format.discs..In.addition.  
to.ordinary.3-inch.and.3-inch.CDs,.it.can.also.play.  
properly.recorded.CD-R.and.CD-RW.discs.  
• Keep.discs.away.from.direct.sunlight,.and.places.of.  
high.heat.and.humidity..If.left.in.such.places,.warp-  
ing.could.result.  
• Do.not.affix.any.labels.or.stickers.to.the.label.side.of.  
• Always.place.CDs.in.the.tray.with.their.labeled.sides.  
the.disc..Do.not.write.on.the.disc.with.ballpoint.pens.  
facing.upward.  
• Do.not.use.cracked.discs.  
• To.remove.a.disc.from.its.case,.press.down.on.the.  
center.of.the.disc.holder,.then.lift.the.disc.out,.hold-  
ing.it.carefully.by.the.edges.  
• Only.use.circular.compact.discs..Avoid.using.non-  
circular.promotional.discs,.etc.  
• The.GA-30CD.cannot.play.CD-R/RW.discs.that.are.  
not.finalized.  
• Avoid.getting.fingerprints.on.the.signal.side.(the.  
non-label.side)..Grime.and.dust.may.cause.skipping,.  
so.keep.discs.clean.and.store.them.in.their.cases.  
when.not.being.played..To.clean.the.signal.side.of.a.  
disc,.wipe.gently.with.a.soft.dry.cloth.from.the.cen-  
ter.towards.the.outside.edge.  
• Several.record.companies.have.released.music.discs.  
that.use.Copy.Control.and.other.copy-protection.  
systems.in.an.effort.to.prevent.piracy..Since.some.  
of.these.discs.do.not.comply.with.the.CD.specifica-  
tions,.the.GA-30CD.may.not.be.able.to.play.them.  
• After.opening.the.CD.player.cover,.if.the.CD.is.still.  
spinning,.wait.until.it.has.stopped.before.removing.it..  
CAUTION  
• Do.not.use.any.record.spray,.anti-static.solutions,.  
benzene,.paint.thinner.or.other.chemical.agents.to.  
clean.CDs.as.they.could.damage.the.delicate.playing.  
surface..This.may.cause.CDs.to.become.unplayable.  
Using commercially available CD stabilizers or printable  
recordable discs with this player will damage the  
mechanism and cause it to malfunction.  
Never use a disc that has had a stabilizer mounted to it.  
The residual adhesive may cause the disc to stick to the  
turntable of the GA-30CD. If it sticks to the turntable,  
you will need a technician to get it out..  
• Discs.should.be.returned.to.their.cases.after.use.to.  
avoid.serious.scratches.that.could.cause.the.laser.  
pickup.to.“skip.”  
Beware of condensation  
If.the.unit.(or.a.compact.disc).is.moved.from.a.cold.to.a.  
warm.place,.or.used.after.a.sudden.temperature.change,.  
there.is.a.danger.of.condensation;.vapor.in.the.air.could.  
condense.on.the.internal.mechanism,.making.correct.  
operation.impossible..To.prevent.this,.or.if.this.occurs,.  
let.the.player.sit.for.one.or.two.hours.at.the.new.room.  
temperature.before.using  
Precautions for placement and use  
Do.not.place.the.unit.in.the.following.types.of.places..  
Placement.in.such.locations.may.cause.malfunction.or.  
reduce.sound.quality..  
Adjust.the.distance.and.angle.between.the.devices.if.  
this.occurs..  
Operation.of.the.GA-30CD.near.a.television.or.radio.  
may.cause.color.distortion.on.the.television.screen.  
or.noise.in.the.radio.signal..If.this.occurs,.move.the.  
GA-30CD.farther.away..  
Unstable.places.or.places.with.frequent.vibrations  
Near.windows.or.in.direct.sunlight  
Near.heating.devices.or.other.extremely.hot.places  
Extremely.cold.places  
Use.of.mobile.phones.and.other.wireless.devices.near.  
the.GA-30CD.may.cause.the.amp.to.produce.noise.  
during.use.or.when.calls.are.made.or.received..If.this.  
occurs,.turn.off.the.device.or.move.it.away.from.the.  
GA-30CD..  
Damp.or.poorly.ventilated.places.  
Placing.this.amplifier.near.another.power.amplifier.or.  
another.device.with.a.large.transformer.can.cause.hum..

circuit.ON..The.indicator.to.the.left.of.the.switch.lights.  
when.it.is.active.  
The.CENTER VOLUME.knob.adjusts.the.total.output.  
volume.from.the.6.5-inch.center.speaker,.including.the.  
output.of.both.the.guitar.amp.and.any.active.effect.  
Adjust.the.BASS,.MIDDLE.and.TREBLE.knobs.to.alter.  
When.the.BOOST.switch.is.OFF,.the.guitar.input.signal.  
the.tone.quality.(frequency.characteristics).further.  
is.output.as.an.undistorted.sound.  
The.GAIN.knob.always.adjusts.the.guitar.input.volume,.  
but.when.the.BOOST.switch.is.ON,.this.knob.also.  
adjusts.the.amount.of.distortion.  
NOTE  
The CENTER VOLUME knob adjusts the overall  
volume of the output signal sent to the center  
speaker (6.5-inch). If an effect is used, it will be  
output along with the guitar amp output.  
The BASS, MIDDLE and TREBLE knobs reduce the  
levels of frequencies in specific ranges. At 10, a knob  
does not cut its frequency band at all while at 0, it  
cuts its band to the maximum effect.  
Procedures to shape the guitar tone  
1 Turn the CENTER VOLUME and SIDE VOLUME  
Of.course,.you.can.adjust.the.knobs.in.any.order.that.  
you.like,.but.we.recommend.that.you.always.turn.the.  
GAIN.and.VOLUME.knobs.down.before.starting.and.  
before.connecting.a.guitar.  
knobs down to 0 (all the way to the left).  
2 Connect a guitar.  
3 Turn the BASS, MIDDLE and TREBLE knobs to 10  
(all the way to the right).  
4 Turn the GAIN knob to the middle (pointing up).  
5 Turn up the CENTER VOLUME gradually while  
playing the guitar until you reach the desired  
volume.  
6 Shape the tone by adjusting the GAIN, BASS,  
MIDDLE and TREBLE knobs and turning the  
BOOST switch ON or OFF.  
7 Choose an effect (see “Selecting Effects and  
setting Parameter” on page 14) and adjust the  
three effect knobs to shape the tone further.  
8 Adjust the CENTER VOLUME and SIDE VOLUME  
knobs as necessary to achieve the volume balance  
that you desire.
