Your Silent Violin will give you years of reliable service if you follow the simple rules
given below:
■ Location
Do not expose it to the following conditions to
avoid deformation, discoloration, or more seri-
ous damage.
• Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window).
• High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source, out-
side, or in a car during the daytime).
• Excessive humidity.
• Excessive dust.
• Strong vibration.
■ Power Supply
• Turn the power switch OFF when not in use.
• If you use an AC power adaptor, unplug the adap-
tor from the AC outlet if not to be used for an
extended period of time.

• Avoid plugging the AC power adaptor into the same
AC outlet as appliances with high power consump-
tion, such as electric heaters or ovens. Also avoid
using multi-plug adaptors since these can result in
reduced sound quality and possibly damage.
■
Turn Power OFF When Making Connections
• To avoid damage to the Silent Violin and other
devices to which it is connected (a sound system,
for example), turn the power switches of all related
devices OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting

• Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or
placing heavy objects on the unit can result in
scratches and more serious damage.
■ Cleaning
• Clean the cabinet and panel with a dry soft cloth.
•A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove
stubborn grime and dirt.
•
Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner.
• Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the unit (vinyl
can stick to and discolor the surface).
■ Electrical Interference
• This unit contains electric circuitry and may cause
interference if placed too close to radio or television
receivers. If this occurs, move it further away from
the affected equipment.

Setup
■ Tuning
The Silent Violin is shipped from the factory with the bridge unfitted. First, set up
the bridge and then proceed with tuning.
•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 AUBERT logo should face the tailpiece.
• Ensure that the bridge stands vertically. If it leans to
one side, use both hands to adjust. Make sure that
each string passes over the corresponding slits in
the bridge.
•The strings are tuned to the following pitches. The
1st string is tuned to E, the 2nd string to A, the 3rd
string to D, and the 4th string to G.
Use a piano, tuning fork, tuner, etc., and adjust the
pitch of each string using the tuning pegs. When
rotating the peg, apply firm pressure towards the head
stock.

• After tuning is complete, make sure the bridge is
still properly aligned. If the bridge is leaning in ei-
ther direction, slightly loosen the strings and care-
fully re-align the bridge using both hands.
•Finally, use the adjuster to fine tune the strings.
• If the adjuster is too loose,
it could produce noise while
playing.
Caution
Don’t loosen too much.

■ The Shoulder Rest
The shoulder rest accessory is supplied to give
you added support when holding the violin be-
tween your shoulder and chin. Refer to the illus-
tration and insert the shoulder rest into the holes
provided (on the rear of the instrument) to suit
your playing position.
• If the instrument can be held comfortably without
the shoulder rest, the use of the rest won’t be nec-
essary.
• The pins on the shoulder rest slightly point outward.
When you attach the shoulder rest, insert one pin
about half way into its hole, and then slightly bend
the shoulder rest so that the second pin aligns with
the corresponding hole, and insert.
Shoulder rest
■ The Bow (supplied with the SV120S)
•Apply rosin to the bow hairs before using. Before using the bow for the first time, apply rosin carefully
and evenly to the whole bow. From the 2nd time, apply a small amount of rosin to the bow hairs.
• Loosen the bow whenever the bow is not used.
• If the bow is not used for an extended period of time, the hairs may suffer damage caused by insects.
Please treat with care.
Rotate the screw to adjust
the bow’s tension.
Bow hair
■ Changing Strings
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.
Winding the Strings
The adjuster should be set
to the middle of its adjust-
ment range.
1
Before you string the instrument, set the adjuster
so that it is in the middle of its adjustment range.
(All adjusters)
Pins
• The end of the strings are sharp and can cut fingers. Use caution when changing strings.
• 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.

Place the ball (on the end of the string) in the
notch on the adjuster. Make sure the ball is prop-
erly inserted in the adjuster’s notch.
3
Insert the other end of the string into the hole
on the tuning peg. Ensure that the string is wound
on the right side of the hole for the 1st (E) and
2nd (A) strings, and on the left side of the hole
for the 3rd (D) and 4th (G) strings. Next, check
the bridge does not fall over as you wind the
strings. Ensure that the strings pass over the cor-
responding slits on the top of the bridge. (Make
sure that the bridge is standing vertically.)
The 1st string (E) has a protective tube on it.
Make sure the tube is placed on the bridge as
shown in the illustration.

Power Supply
The Silent Violin can be operated with either battery or AC power. Always turn the
power switch (OFF/ON/REV.ON) on the rear panel OFF before making AC power
connections or replacing batteries.
■ Using Batteries
Battery compart-
ment cover
SUM-3 (AA)
size battery x2
Slide the POWER switch to the ON position, the lamp will light green. Slide the switch
to the REV. ON position, the lamp will flash red. When battery power is low, the lamp’s
color changes to orange, the sound becomes distorted, the Reverb does not prop-
erly function, and noise becomes audible. When one of these symptoms appears,
take note of the following cautions and replace the batteries.
•Always follow the +/– signs when inserting the batteries. Improper insertion may result in fire.
•Always replace worn batteries with a complete set of new batteries. Never mix new and old batteries.
Do not mix different types of batteries (alkaline and manganese, or batteries from different manufac-
turers, or different types by the same manufacturer). Doing so may result in fire.
■ Supplying AC Power
AC adaptor is optional, please purchase the optional power adaptor PA-3C or PA-3B.
1
Plug the adaptor’s DC output cable into the Silent Violin’s DC IN 9-12V jack located on the side of
the instrument, making sure it is firmly inserted into the jack.
2
Plug the AC adaptor into a convenient wall AC power socket.
• Battery power is automatically disconnected when the AC adaptor is connected.
• When using an AC adaptor, make sure you use only the appointed compatible adaptor. The use of an
incompatible adaptor may result in damage to the instrument or cause fire, etc. Please use with
caution.
1

■ AUX IN jack
•The AUX IN jack, located on the side of the
instrument, can be used to connect an external
stereo signal source to the Silent Violin.
Connecting the audio output of a CD player,
cassette player, etc. to the instrument allows you
to play along with the external audio source.
•The AUX IN jack’s signal level can be controlled
with the AUX. VOL control.
•The stereo phone/stereo mini plug converter
connected to the LINE OUT jack, can also be
connected to the AUX IN jack. This allows you
to connect a standard stereo (mono) phone plug
to the AUX IN jack.
■ LINE OUT jack
• The LINE OUT jack, located on the side panel,
delivers the stereo signal of the Silent Violin to
external audio equipment.
Use an audio cable to connect the instrument to
the audio input jack of external speakers, mixing
console, cassette player, etc. to listen from exter-
nal audio equipment or recording. You can also
connect this jack to the INPUT jack on an elec-
tronic tuner and tune the Silent Violin like an elec-
tronic instrument using the instrument’s output
signal.
•When you purchased the Silent Violin (factory
set), the stereo phone/stereo mini plug converter
is connected to the LINE OUT mini jack. This
allows you to connect a standard stereo (mono)
phone plug to the LINE OUT jack.
•The stereo phone/stereo mini plug converter can
also be connected to the PHONES jack. This al-
lows you to connect a pair of headphones that are
only equipped with a standard phone plug to the
PHONES jack.
• Before connecting the Silent Violin to any external devices, make sure that the power of all
related devices is turned OFF. Set the volume level of any external audio sources to the mini-
mum level before connecting anything. High volume settings could cause damage to the equip-
ment and your hearing.
• If a connection cord is unplugged while the power is ON, it may result in damage to the equip-
ment. The sudden shock to your ears may be great, so please use with care.
• Be careful not to step on the cord. The cord may break, equipment may be damaged, and this
may cause a substantial shock to your ears.
• The signal from the Silent Violin’s output jacks must NEVER be returned to the AUX IN jack,
either directly or through external equipment. Doing so will result in feedback which may
cause damage to the internal electronics.
• Commercially available mini plug cables sometimes are equipped
with plugs featuring a larger base (grip) diameter (see A in illus-
tration on the right) which may cause faulty contact when used
with this instrument.
Please make sure to use a audio cable identical to the one sup-
plied with the instrument.
