Setup
This section explains the basic setup procedure
for your Starstream Type 1.
Inserting batteries
Detach the battery cover, and install four AA
batteries.
Be sure to insert bat-
teries in the correct
orientation.
Replacing the batteries
If the power LED blinks, replace the batteries with
new ones.
The sound may become noisy if the battery
power is low.
Remove exhausted batteries immediately.
Exhausted batteries left installed may leak,
causing a malfunction. You should also
remove the batteries if you do not expect to
use the instrument for a long period of time.
Unsaved settings will be lost if the batteries
become exhausted, so save them before this
occurs.
To ensure that the time for battery replace-
ment is indicated correctly, you must make
the appropriate setting in "Specifying the
battery type."
Specifying the battery type
You must specify the type of batteries that you're
using; this ensures that the LED will blink at the
correct time when the batteries need replacement.
1. Make sure that the power is off.
2. While holding down the WRITE button, press
the power button to turn the power on. The
setting is changed, and the current setting is
indicated while you hold down the button.
Alkaline batteries
The WRITE LED is lit red.
Nickel-metal hydride batteries
The WRITE LED is lit green.
3. Release the button; the instrument starts up
normally.
TIP Alkaline batteries are specified when the
instrument is shipped from the factory.
TIP The battery type setting is remembered even
when the power is off.
Auto power-off function
The auto power-off function of this instrument
automatically turns the power off when approxi-
mately 30 minutes has elapsed since the guitar
was played or a knob operated. Once the power
turns off, operating a knob or selector does not
bring the power on again. To turn the power on
again, press the power button.
You can enable or disable the auto power-off function.
1. Make sure that the power is off.
2. While holding down the FX/CANCEL button,
press the power button to turn the power on.
The setting changes, and the current setting is
indicated while you hold down the button.
If auto power-off is enabled
The power LED is alternately lit red and blue.
If auto power-off is disabled
The power LED is lit red.
3. Release the button; the instrument starts up
normally.
TIP The auto power-off enable/disable setting
is remembered even when the power is off.
TIP Auto power-off is enabled when the instru-
ment is shipped from the factory.
Connections
1. Make sure that batteries are installed.
2. Connect the guitar's guitar output jack to your
guitar amp.
At this time, make sure that the volume of your
guitar amp is turned down.
If you're using headphones, connect your
headphones to the guitar's headphones jack.
3. Set the guitar's volume knob to the minimum
level.
4. Press the power button to turn the power on.
5. Adjust the volume by gradually raising the
volume of the guitar amp and the volume knob
of the guitar.
6. To turn the power off, press and hold the
power button.
Operation
Selecting a sound
1. Use the Group selector to select a Group.
The Groups are organized by guitar type, such
as electric or acoustic. Select the basic Group
of sound you want.
2. Use the three-way switch to select a sound.
Here you can select one of the three variations
that are in each Group.
3. Use the FX/CANCEL button to turn the effect
on/off. Use the DRIVE/REVERB knob to
adjust the depth of the effect.
4. Use the volume knob to adjust the volume.
Saving a favorite sound
If you save a favorite sound, you'll be able to recall
it at any time. (See "8. WRITE button and LED.")
1. Make the settings that you want to save as a fa-
vorite sound, and then press the WRITE button.
The WRITE LED blinks red if a user program
is selected, or blinks green if any other pro-
gram is selected.
2. Use the Group selector and the three-way
switch to select the save-destination user
program (PROGRAM 1–3 or 4–6).
3. Press the WRITE button once again to save
the settings (see "8. WRITE button and LED").
The WRITE LED is lit green.
TIP To cancel without saving, press the FX/
CANCEL button without specifying a save-
destination while the WRITE LED is blinking
(ready to write).
Restoring the factory settings
The six programs in the user banks (USER1,
USER2), the start-up effect on/off setting, the bat-
tery type selection, and the auto power-off enable/
disable setting will be initialized to their factory-set
condition when you execute the following operation.
1. Make sure that the power is off.
2. While holding down the FX/CANCEL button
and the WRITE button, press the power button
to turn the power on. When the WRITE LED
starts blinking red, release the buttons you
were pressing.
TIP If you decide to cancel without initializing,
press the FX/CANCEL button at this time.
3. Press the WRITE button; the WRITE LED
changes from blinking to lit, and initialization
begins. When initialization is completed, the
WRITE LED lights green, and then the instru-
ment starts up normally.
Never turn off the power while initialization is
in progress.
When this operation is completed, all programs
and settings that you had saved are erased
and returned to their factory-set condition.

*1 The effects for user programs will differ depending on the sound.
*2 For the SITAR, use the TONE knob to adjust the level of the sympathetic strings.
*3 For the SYNTH and BASS SYNTH, unintended sounds may occur if you play chords. In general, you should play
only single notes.
*4 For the SUSTAIN, the notes you play are sustained, producing an organ-like sound. To stop the sustain, either play
staccato or mute the string.
Setting up your guitar
Adjusting the neck relief
First, with your guitar tuned correctly, press down
the sixth string at the 1st fret and at the 22nd fret.
Then check whether there is a gap between the
top of the 8th fret and the 6th string. Ideally, this
gap should be about the thickness of the first
string.
If the gap is larger than this, the neck has too
much relief. Using the included wrench, turn the
truss rod slightly in the clockwise direction, tight-
ening the truss rod to decrease the gap.
Conversely if the gap is too small, or if the 6th
string touches the 8th fret, turn the truss rod
slightly counter-clockwise.
TIP Perform this step carefully, a little at a time.
Take the guitar to a repair shop if you're not
comfortable making this adjustment.
Adjusting the string height
To raise or lower the string height, use the includ-
ed wrench to turn the bridge saddle adjustment
screws to the desired height. The string height
also affects the playing feel.
If you've changed the neck relief, the string height,
or the string gauge, you may need to adjust the in-
tonation of the octaves. For each string, compare
the pitch of a note fretted at the 12th fret with the
pitch of the harmonic sounded at the 12th fret. If
the pitch of the note fretted at the 12th fret is lower
than the harmonic, turn the adjustment screw
counter-clockwise until the pitches of the harmonic
and the fretted note match. Conversely if the pitch
of the note fretted at the 12th fret is higher than
the harmonic, turn the adjustment screw clockwise
until the pitches match.
Replacing the strings
When you replace the strings, pass the new string
through from the back of the body, and wrap it
around the post of the tuning peg (two or three
turns for a wound string, four or five turns for a
plain string), winding from the top downward to
adjust the length.
Caring for your guitar
When you finish playing, wipe the entire guitar
with a clean, soft, dry cloth.
Take care not to expose the guitar to extreme
temperature changes, such as leaving it in a hot
automobile for an extended period of time. Doing
so may damage the finish.
