Basic Display Operation

The PSR-620 LCD panel is a large multi-function type that simultaneously
displays and provides access to a number of important parameters. Basic
operation of the display as well as the CURSOR, FUNCTION, MODE,
JOB SELECT and NUMBER buttons, and the meaning of the icons which
appear in the display, are summarized briefly below.
The Cursor Buttons
The CURSOR buttons are used to select the
various parameters which appear in the dis-
play. Depending on the selected parameter,
the "cursor" may appear as an underline, or
the selected icon or value may simply flash.
Each CURSOR button moves the cursor in the
corresponding direction. The [ ] and [ ]
CURSOR buttons are also used to select func-
tions within the function groups selected by the
FUNCTION buttons in some cases.
The Functions
The PSR-620 has a range of
functions selected via the
FUNCTION [ ] and [ ]
buttons — e.g. voice selec-
tion, style selection, song
number selection, etc. The
currently selected function is
indicated by an arrow in the
display next to the function
list printed immediately to the
left of the display. All of the
listed functions can be se-
lected by pressing either the
FUNCTION [ ] or [ ] button
as many times as necessary
until the arrow in the display
appears next to the name of
the desired function.
