Tuning guide/ reference pitch LED display
CHROMATIC TUNER STX1
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
In the auto and manual modes, the difference in pitch between the note
indicated on the display and the note given by the instrument is indicated by
the LED that lights up. (See the numeral on the right of the LED that lights up.)
The LED display also indicates the reference pitch you have set. (See the
numeral on the left of the LED that lights up.)
NAME AND OPERATION OF PARTS
Before use, pull out the insulating sheet from
Built-in microphone
the battery compartment, as shown in the
illustration below. If the sheet is torn off and left
inside the compartment, open the battery hatch
by referring to “BATTERY CHANGE” below,
and remove the remainder of the sheet
completely. Otherwise, the tuner will not be
turned on.
Use it to input a note directly from the instrument in the “MIC” input method.
When the “CLIP” input method is selected, the built-in microphone is disabled.
Vibration sensor/built-in speaker
In the “CLIP” input method, it senses the vibration generated by the instrument.
When the “MIC” input method is selected, the vibration sensor/built-in speaker
is disabled. In sound mode, the reference note you have set is produced from
the built-in speaker.
Note: The battery included with the tuner is a monitor
battery, and the battery life may be shorter than
the specified period.
Clip
Attach the tuner to the instrument using it to sense the vibration it generates.

● CLIP input method:
The vibration sensor

senses the vibrations generated when the instrument
gives out a note, and tuning is made using them. This input method is
convenient for the tuning in noisy environments or in a situation where
other instruments are played nearby.
● MIC input method:
Tuning is made using the note of the instrument input through the built-in
microphone

indicates that the pitch of the input note is lower or higher
than that of the indicated note.

● Precautions on tuning
Pitch button
1. The tuner may pick up noise from the surrounding environment or the
hum noise generated by electric appliances, and shows indications as if
a note is played. This is not a malfunction, and the tuner operates
properly when a note is played.
2. When the “MIC” input method is used, it is recommended that the tuning
procedure be performed in a quiet environment for accurate tuning.
Also, bring the instrument close to the tuner to register a note.
3. If you find it difficult to tune the instrument with the “CLIP” input method,
re-attach the tuner in such a position to the instrument that the vibrations
are transmitted to the tuner more clearly.
Use the button to set the reference pitch (frequency of A4).
