Turning On the Power
Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to 
your various devices in the order specified. By turning on 
devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction 
and/or damage to speakers and other devices.
1. Before you turn the power on, make sure of the 
following points.
• Are all external devices properly connected?
• Is the volume on the GT-6B, your amp, and all other 
connected devices turned down to the minimum level?
* The GT-6B's volume is adjusted with the OUTPUT LEVEL 
knob on the rear panel. Turning this completely to the left 
(counterclockwise) sets the volume to the minimum level.
2. Switch ON the POWER switch on the GT-6B’s rear 
panel.
The display changes, and the following appears in the 
display. After a brief interval (a few seconds), the unit 
switches to regular performance mode. The screen that 
appears at that point is called the “
Play screen
.”

The explanations in this manual include illustrations that 
depict what should typically be shown by the display.

enhanced version of the system (e.g., includes newer 
sounds), so what you actually see in the display may not 
always match what appears in the manual.
