Using the Repeat Play Function

The Repeat Play function in the Song mode lets you continuously repeat playback of any portion of a Song. This
comes in particularly handy when practicing a Song with the Minus One and/or Guide (PSR-230 only) functions.
For example, you could have the verse portion of a Song repeatedly play back while you practice with it.
While the Song is playing, press the REPEAT PLAY button twice — once to set the beginning point for the
repeat and a second time to set the end point.
Press the REPEAT PLAY button once at the beginning of the section to be repeated (the REPEAT "A" indication
lights), and a second time at the end of the section (the REPEAT "B" indication lights).
As soon as the end point (B) has been selected, the specified section begins playing back repeatedly. To stop
playback, press the START/STOP button. You can use START/STOP to alternately start and stop Repeat Play of the
specified section. To cancel Repeat Play at any time, press the REPEAT PLAY button again.
NOTE
• When only the A point is set, playback repeats from the A point to the end of the Song.
• Repeat playback is per measure.
• The end point (B) tempo or your manually adjusted tempo will be used during Repeat playback.
