Set-up Guide
Below is a quick start guide, designed to get you rocking as soon as possible, right out of the box. We’ll go over set-up for both musicians and gamers, but there are a few things that both need to do:
Musicians and Gamers:
- Connect the YRG body and neck by aligning the neck with the grooves in the body, and pressing them together firmly. You should hear a click as the tab on the back of the body slides into place. DO NOT attach or remove the neck while the YRG is powered on!
- Insert four fresh AA batteries into the back of the YRG body, ensuring that they are properly aligned. The images at the back of the battery port may be used as a reference. Note that, if you plan to power the YRG through USB, this step may be skipped.
- Attach the YRG strap to your guitar. Loop the holes at either end of the strap over the pegs at the top and bottom of your guitar. Ensure that the connection is firm by pulling lightly up on the strap at both ends.
Musicians:
- Insert the cables appropriate to your chosen mode of play. If using headphones or computer speakers, ensure that the cord is plugged into audio OUT, not IN.
- Ensure that the YRG’s volume is set to an audible level.
- If using the built-in guitar and synth sounds, scroll through each of the 99 presets, using the UP/DOWN arrow buttons, to get a feel for the different soundsets.
- For additional information regarding the instrument, reference pages 18-20 for playing with built-in sounds, or page 17 for play through MIDI.
Gamers:
PS3
- Insert a PS3 Gameflex cartridge into the guitar.
- Insert the USB dongle included with your Gameflex cartridge into one of the USB ports on your PS3
- With the YRG and the PS3 powered on, press the GAME button on the guitar’s control panel. Your guitar’s LED should now display the number ‘2’. If this number is blinking, your cartridge and USB dongle need to be synced (see ‘Syncing your Gameflex cartridge’ below). If the number is solid, however, they are synced already.
Wii
- Insert a Wii Gameflex cartridge into the guitar.
- With the YRG and the Wii powered on, press the GAME button on the guitar’s control panel. Your guitar’s LED should now display the number ‘1’. If this number is blinking, your cartridge needs to be synced with your Wii (see ‘Syncing your Gameflex cartridge’ below). If the number is solid, however, they are synced already.
Once these steps are complete, you can use the YRG’s joystick and colored frets to navigate your console’s home screen and in-game menus.
Syncing your Gameflex cartridge:
PS3
- Press the blue, semicircular button on the Gameflex cartridge inserted into your guitar.
- Press the button on the USB dongle inserted into your PS3’s USB port. The dongle LED will begin to flash rapidly. When it stops blinking, the ‘2’ displayed on the YRG in GAME mode will be solid. The Gameflex cartridge is now synced.
Wii
- Open the front panel of your Wii console, and press the red Sync button there.
- Press the RECORD button on the control panel. After a few moments, the ‘1’ on the guitar LED display will stop flashing. The Gameflex cartridge is now synced.
