Select the NORMAL Mode
If you want to play a single voice over the entire range of the PSR-520
keyboard, you'll need to select the NORMAL mode. To do this, press the
[MODE] button to the right of the display as many times as necessary until
the arrow in the display appears next to "NORMAL" in the mode list to the
right of the display. The other modes will be described later in this manual.

Select the VOICE Function
Before you select a voice to play, the PSR-520 voice function must be
selected. The simplest way to do this is to press the [VOICE] button. This
immediately selects the VOICE function no matter what function was previ-
ously selected.
An alternative method is to press the [FUNCTION] button to the left of
the display as many times as necessary until the arrowhead in the display
appears next to "VOICE" in the function list to the left of the display.
