    							About the display
    A large-size display, easy to operate with excellent readability, is used for displaying various information such as the names of
    the selected sounds and rhythms etc. and when setting the functions. Let’s take a look.
    •The display illustrations shown in this User’s Manual are examples for the sake of clarification; the actual displays on your
    instrument may differ from the illustrations.
    Normal display (HOME PAGE)
    This is the kind of information you see on the display during
    a normal performance.
    Volume balance
    At the bottom half of the normal display, the volume balance
    of each part is represented in a fader illustration and by a
    number (0 to 127). You can use the balance buttons below
    the display to adjust the volumes.
    
    When setting the volume balance, press the upper button to
    increase the volume and the lower button to decrease it.
    •Hold a button down to scroll the volume quickly.MUTE
    To mute a part, press both the corresponding upper and lower
    buttons at the same time.
    •The volume display for a muted part is shown as “MUTE”.
    •Pressing either balance button for a muted part will cancel
    the mute function.
    OTHER PARTS/TR button
    If you press the OTHER PARTS/TR button, the display
    changes to show the volumes of PART (PT) 1–16. You can
    then adjust the volumes of these parts. These parts are active
    when playing back a song disk or when this instrument is
    connected to external MIDI equipment and is used as a multi-
    timbre sound generator.
    •When there are other parts or tracks to access, the OTHER
    PARTS/TR indicator is lit.

    							PAGE
    When there are additional parts to the current display, a page
    number indication, for example PAGE1/2, appears in the
    upper right corner of the screen. For example, 1/2 indicates
    that there are two pages of the display, and the current page
    is page 1. In this case, you can use the upper and lower
    PAGE buttons, to the right of the balance buttons, to view
    different “pages” of the display.
    •Press the upper button to view the next page of the display,
    and the lower button to view the previous page of the
    display.
    •On the last page of the display, pressing the upper button
    returns to the first page. And conversely, on the first page
    of the display, pressing the lower button will skip to the last
    page.

    MENUS
    Select a function from the menu display by pressing the corre-
    sponding button to the left or right of the display indicated
    by the   and   arrows. 
    •In this manual, the steps describing how to select a function
    from a menu display are generally abbreviated as follows,
    for example: “On the PROGRAM MENUS display, select
    SOUND.”
    Setting display
    When you select an item from the menu display, the setting
    display for the item is shown.

    If the TEMPO/PROGRAM indicator is lit while you are using
    the display to adjust the setting, it indicates that this dial can
    be used to quickly change the displayed value or setting.

    While the setting display is shown, press this button to go
    back to the previous display.
    DISPLAY HOLD
    Press this button to turn it on when you wish to maintain the
    current display. You can keep a display which is normally
    automatically canceled, for example, or even during a per-
    formance, you can monitor information which is not shown
    on the normal display.
    •The indicator for this button may flash if the current display
    is one which is normally automatically canceled.
    •If the PROGRAM MENUS button, for example, is pressed,
    the DISPLAY HOLD mode is canceled.

    String resonance
    String resonance is the sound heard in an acoustic piano
    when the struck strings produce a sympathetic resonance of
    the other unstruck strings. For the GRAND PIANO and
    UPRIGHT PIANO sounds, string resonance is produced as
    long as the sustain pedal is depressed. The amount of string
    resonance can be adjusted.
    1.Press and hold the GRAND button for about
    3 seconds.
    •STRING RESONANCE DEPTH is shown on the display.
    2.Use the ∧ and ∨ buttons to adjust the amount
    of resonance (0 to 99).
    •The higher the number, the greater the amount of reso-
    nance.
    •When set to 0, there is no string resonance.
