CD music.
1. Engage the Function mode and select
2. Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to lower
or raise the pitch of the A3 key in approxi-
mately 0.2 Hz increments.

Tenths of a hertz are indicated on the LED display by
the appearance and position of one or two dots, as in
the following example:
Display Value

TERMINOLOGY
Hz (Hertz):
This unit of measurement refers to the frequency of a sound and
represents the number of times a sound wave vibrates in a sec-
ond.
NOTE
You can also use the keyboard to set the pitch (in any mode
other than Function mode).
To tune up (in about 0.2Hz steps): Hold the A-1 and B-1 keys
(two white keys at the left end) simultaneously and press any key
between C3 and B3.
To tune down (in about 0.2Hz steps): Hold the A-1 and A -1
keys (a white and a black key at the left end) simultaneously and
press any key between C3 and B3.
To restore standard pitch: Hold the A-1, A -1 and B-1 (two
white keys and one black key at the left end) simultaneously and
press any key between C3 and B3.
• Each key has a note name; for example, the lowest
(farthest left) key on the keyboard corresponds to A-1,
and the highest (farthest right) key to C7.

cates a value in Hz < ...
