Do not open

Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualied Yamaha service personnel.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms. Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet. Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged. When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used for a long time, remove the batteries from the instrument to prevent possible leakage of the battery uid. Keep batteries away from children. If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked uid. If the battery uid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water and consult a doctor. Battery uid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss of sight or chemical burns.

Battery

Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, re, or battery uid leakage. Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries together with old ones. Also do not mix battery types, such as batteries from different makers, or different types of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause overheating, re, or battery uid leakage. Do not dispose of batteries in re.

Location

Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disguration or damage to the internal components. Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.

Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.

Handling caution

Do not insert a nger or hand in any gaps on the instrument. Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel. Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors. Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

Setting Up

This section contains information about setting up your EZ-AG for playing. Make sure to read this section carefully before using the instrument.

Power Requirements

Although the EZ-AG will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete resources.
I Using an AC Power Adaptor q Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the EZ-AG is set to STANDBY. w Connect the AC adaptor (PA-3C, PA-3B, or other adaptor specically recommended by Yamaha) to the DC IN 12V jack. e Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

AC Adaptor PA-3C

Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3C or PA-3B AC Power Adaptor (or other adaptor specically recommended by Yamaha) to power your instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the EZ-AG. Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the EZ-AG, or during electrical storms.

I Using Batteries

For battery operation the EZ-AG requires six 1.5V AA size, or LR6 or equivalent batteries. When the batteries need to be replaced, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other problems may occur. When this happens, turn the power off and replace the batteries, as described below

Use only alkaline batteries for this instrument. Other types of batteries (including rechargable batteries) may have sudden drops of power when battery power becomes low, possibly resulting in loss of data in the ash memory and the need to initialize the ash memory. When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries. If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from it, in order to prevent possible uid leakage from the battery.
q Open the battery compartment cover located on the instruments bottom panel. w Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings in the battery compartment. e Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks rmly in place.

Power On & Play

Using the CAPO Function

The EZ-AGs virtual capo functions in the same way as a normal guitar capo, stopping the strings at the specied fret. The EZ-AG CAPO function can be applied up to the sixth fret. Some guitar books include capo indications that can make setting this function easy.

Press the [CAPO] button.

The current CAPO position will appear on the display.
Select the capo position (fret).
Use the [+] and [-] buttons to select the fret at which you want to position the capo. You can select frets 0 through 6. All fret buttons at the selected fret position will glow.
The CAPO setting only applies to the played sound (not to the song playback sound).

Tuning

After pressing the [TUNING] button you can use the [+] and [-] buttons to raise or lower the overall pitch of the EZ-AG in semitone steps up to one octave. For example, a setting of -1 lowers the pitch by one semitone; a setting of +4 raises the pitch by four semitones (an interval of a third); or a setting of -12 lowers the pitch by a full octave. This makes it easy to play the EZ-AG in any key to match the range of a singer, for example. The EZ-AG also provides four alternative tunings which can be selected by pressing the [+] button beyond the +12 setting: Drop D, Open D, Open G, and Open E.
The number of semitones tuned or the type of alternative tuning selected will appear on the display.

Connecting To MIDI Devices
The EZ-AG features MIDI IN and OUT connectors that can be used to connect to other MIDI devices for expanded musical capabilities. It is also possible to load additional songs downloaded from the internet (URL provided below) into the EZ-AG via these connectors.

What is MIDI?

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is an international standard system that allows electronic musical instruments and related devices to communicate with and control one another. By connecting MIDI-compatible devices via standard MIDI cables, it becomes possible to transfer a variety of performance and setup data between devices for enhanced musical capabilities. G MIDI IN Connector Receives MIDI data from external MIDI devices. G MIDI OUT Connector Transmits MIDI data to external MIDI devices.
MIDI cables are sold separately and are available from most musical instrument stores that handle electronic music gear. Excessively long MIDI cables can cause data errors. Use MIDI cables that are no longer than 15 meters.
Make sure the power to external devices is turned off when connecting the EZ-AG. Then, when the required connections have been made, turn on the external device rst and then the EZ-AG.
Some Example MIDI Applications
Using the EZ-AGs MIDI capabilities you can, for example, transfer performance data between two EZ-AGs, or between an EZ-AG and a MIDI-equipped personal computer to load songs into the EZ-AG. Song data cannot be transmitted by the EZ-AG. G Performance data transferred between two EZ-AGs.

MIDI IN Computer

G Deleting Loaded Songs From the EZ-AG Songs can be deleted from the EZ-AG memory from the Song Filer application on the computer.
Song data cannot be transferred from the EZ-AG to a computer. Be sure to save all song data you want to keep on your computer
Turning Local Control On or Off
Local Control determines whether the EZ-AG plays its own internal tone generator (Local Control = ON), or whether performance data is transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector only, without playing the internal tone generator (Local Control = OFF). G Local Control ON This is the normal setting. In this state the EZ-AGs internal tone generator will play whatever is played on the strings and frets, as well as any MIDI data received via the MIDI IN connector. G Local Control OFF In this state the internal tone generator will not sound in response to playing the strings and frets, but the performance data will be transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector. The internal tone generator will play any MIDI data received via the MIDI IN connector.
Simultaneously press the [CAPO] and [TUNING] buttons. Set local control as required.
Use the [+] and [-] buttons to turn local control on or off as required. [+] turns local control on, while [-] turns it off.
Local control is always ON when the EZ-AG power is initially turned on.

Setting the MIDI Clock

Normally EZ-AG song playback is synchronized to its own internal clock. Use this function when you want to synchronize EZ-AG playback to a MIDI clock signal from an external device. G Internal Clock (Int) This is the normal setting: EZ-AG song playback is synchronized to its own internal clock. G External Clock (Etr) The EZ-AG will be synchronized to a MIDI clock signal from a connected external device. Song and demo playback will not start if an appropriate external clock signal is not being received.
Simultaneously press the [TEMPO] and [VOLUME] buttons. Set the clock as required.
Use the [+] and [-] buttons to set the clock mode as required. [+] selects Int, while [-] selects Etr.
The clock is always set to Int when the EZ-AG power is initially turned on.

Troubleshooting

Problem No sound. Check Are the batteries properly installed? Are they run down? Is the volume set to 0? Is a plug plugged into the PHONES/OUTPUT jack? Speaker output is automatically cut off when a plug is inserted into the PHONES/ OUTPUT jack. Is Local Control turned OFF? The EZ-AG will not produce any sound unless Local Control is turned ON. The displays flicker on and off and dont function normally. Song playback will not start. The EZ-AG is picking up noise. Are the batteries run down? Is the MIDI clock set to Etr? Try setting it to Int. Are you using the EZ-AG near a mobile phone? Try turning the mobile phone off or moving it further away from the EZ-AG.
