on the Digital Piano while a USB flash drive is plugged
in, the Digital Piano initially needs to perform a
"mounting" sequence to prepare for data exchange
with the USB flash drive. Digital Piano operations may
be momentarily disabled while a mounting sequence is
being performed. The USB indicator will flash on the
display while the USB flash drive is being mounted. It
may take up to 10 or 20 seconds or even longer for a
USB flash drive to be mounted. The message "Listing"
may be displayed while the mounting operation is in
progress. Do not attempt to perform any operation on

Using Auto Accompaniment

With Auto Accompaniment, simply select an accompaniment
pattern. Each time you play a chord with your left hand the
appropriate accompaniment will play automatically. It's like
having a personal backup group along with you wherever you
go.
• Auto Accompaniments are made up of the three parts
below.
– Rhythm
– Bass
– Harmony
You can have only the rhythm part play, or you can have all
three parts play at the same time.

Playing the Rhythm Part Only

The rhythm part is the foundation of each Auto
Accompaniment. Your Digital Piano comes with a variety of
built-in rhythms, including 8-beat and waltz. Use the
