Listening To The Left And Right Parts In Iso-
lation
A tape recorder records two channels for the sounds
played by the right speaker and that by the left speaker.
The place where a "channel" is recorded is called a track.
The RD-100 uses a similar system: what is played with
the right hand is stored on Track 2, while what is played
by the left hand is recorded on Track 1. This is very con-
venient for piano lessons, since you can practice each
hand separately.
Some demo songs include pieces for four-hand perfor-
mances. In a four-handed piece, each Track has a differ-
ent player. By switching off one track, you play one part
while the RD-100 takes care of the other.
. Select a Song Number using the SONG [+/-] buttons.
. Press the [TRACK 2] button and confirm that the indicator
is dark.

part will be played.
