Practice Features; The Minus One Mode; Specifying The Parts To Be Turned On Or Off - Yamaha PortaTone PSR-520 Owner's Manual

Practice Features

The PSR-520 includes two features that can be a great aid in learning to
play and practicing on the keyboard.
When the Minus One mode is engaged, the left-hand, right-hand, or both
keyboard parts of a song — internal demo or Music Cartridge — are turned
OFF so you can practice them on the PSR-520 keyboard. The "MinusMod"
function in the OVERALL function group determines which part or parts are
turned OFF when the Minus One mode is engaged.
To turn the Minus One function ON, thus cancelling the specified parts,
press the [MINUS ONE] button. The MINUS ONE icon will appear in the
display when the Minus One function is engaged.

Specifying the Parts To Be Turned On or Off

To specify the right-hand, left-hand, or both parts to be turned OFF when
the Minus One mode is engaged, first select the OVERALL functions by
pressing either of the [FUNCTION] buttons to the left of the display as
many times as necessary until the arrowhead in the display appears next to
"OVERALL" in the function list to the left of the display. Then use the cur-
sor [ ] and [ ] buttons to locate the "MinusMod" function. Finally use the
[–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons or the data dial to select the desired Minus One
mode.
