[. . . ] Use the supplied cable to connect the instrument to the "Instrument Jack" on the Control Box. Caution Never connect any devices (including other Silent ViolinsTM with different model numbers) other than the SV150 Silent ViolinTM that is included in the bundled set. Doing so may result in damage to the other device. · Do not listen for extended periods of time at loud volume levels using the inner earphones or headphones. · If the sound is distorted, use the volume control on the instrument or on the Control Box and lower the volume until the sound is no longer distorted. · Connect or disconnect the cable between the Silent ViolinTM and the Control Box only after the Control Box power is switched OFF. · When connecting the Silent ViolinTM's Control Box to an external device, make sure that the power is switched OFF on all devices, or that the volume on all devices is set to the minimum level. · Disconnecting the cable while the power is ON may result in damage to the equipment. · When making connections to external devices, make sure that the proper plugs are used and securely connected. 7 Set up Tuning and Changing the Strings The Silent ViolinTM is shipped from the factory with the bridge unfitted. As the strings get old, sound quality will gradually decrease, and it will become difficult to tune the instrument. Change the strings as soon as you think they are getting old. · The end of the strings are sharp and can cut fingers. · When changing or adjusting strings, do not put your face close to the instrument. The string may suddenly break resulting in eye or other unexpected injuries. G 4th string Groove D A E 1st string Logo imprint [Looking from the tailpiece] Bridge seat Bridge feet [Make sure the bridge feet do not come in contact with the bridge seat] Correct · The lower side of the bridge supports the 1st string (E), the higher side supports the 4th string (G). Make sure the bridge is placed properly, then set the bridge in the bridge seat. The side of the bridge with the logo imprint should face the tailpiece. Make sure that each string passes over the corresponding slits in the bridge. Bad Bad Vertical Body Bridge seat Tailpiece Make sure that the strings are resting in their appropriate grooves in the bridge when playing the instrument. Strings may come out of their grooves when adjusting the bridge or changing strings. Since the first (E) and fourth (G) strings tend to come out of their grooves easily, use your fingers to hold the strings gently in place when tuning the instrument. Caution Always make sure that the bridge is standing vertically, whether the instrument is being played or stored. Even if the bridge is standing vertically before tuning, it may tilt during the tuning process. If it leans in either direction it will impair the sound and risk damaging the instrument.

The 1st string is tuned to E, the 2nd string to A, the 3rd string to D, and the 4th string to G. Using the Tuner function on the Control Box ( pg 11), push in on the peg while turning to tune.
