This section explains the contents of the Digital Keyboard’s 
display screen.
1Detailed information area
This area displays a variety of information while the Digital 
Keyboard is being used. Use this area to confirm proper 
operation when changing values, when selecting a menu 
item, and when performing other operations.
2Level meter area
This level meter shows the volume level of the notes that 
are sounded when you play something on the keyboard or 
when Auto Accompaniment is played. There are a total of 
32 parts, 16 each in Group A and Group B. The L 
indicator will be displayed in the lower left corner while 
Group A parts are being indicated by the level meter, while 
the M indicator will be displayed in the lower left corner 
while Group B parts are being indicated.
For details about parts, see “How Parts are Organized” 
(page E-38).
3Indicator areas
The indicator area shows such information as the current 
mode (page E-7), the status of settings, the status of Auto 
Accompaniment, and other information.
There are two types of indicators: text type indicators such 
as :, and pointer (K) type indicators. In the case of 
pointer type indicators, a setting or status is indicated by 
the location of the K next to fixed text along the sides of the 
display. For example, the location of the pointer (K) on the 
right side of the display in the sample below indicates 
REVERB.
4Registration bank area
This area shows the number of the currently selected 
registration bank (page E-61).
5Chord area
This area shows the chord being played when Auto 
Accompaniment (page E-26) or music preset (page E-49) 
is being used. It also can display fraction chords by 
showing the chord root (C, G, etc.) and type (m, 7th, etc.).
6Tempo, measure, beat area
Tempo is shown as the current setting value, as beats per 
minute. Auto Accompaniment, the metronome (page 
E-19), and other playback is performed at the tempo 
shown here. The MEASURE and BEAT values are 
counted up as Auto Accompaniment, the metronome, or 
other playback progresses.
The item that is currently selected on a display screen is 
indicated by thick brackets (%) and by a large dot (0). The 
currently selected item is the one that is affected by the R-14 
(–, +) buttons or dial operations.
On this screen, “RHYTHM” is selected because it is enclosed 
by thick brackets. This indicates that the rhythm setting can be 
changed.
On this screen, “Touch” is selected because the 0 is next to 
it. This indicates that the value to the right of “Touch”, which is 
enclosed in thick brackets, can be changed.Reading the Display

Never try to perform any operation, or insert or remove a 
memory card while the message “Please Wait” is on the 
display. Wait until the message disappears.
 “Please Wait” indicates that the Digital Keyboard is 
performing a data save operation. Turning off the Digital 
Keyboard or removing the memory card can cause Digital 
Keyboard data to be deleted or become corrupted. It also 
can cause the Digital Keyboard to fail to turn on when the 
L-1 (POWER) button is pressed.
 If this happens, refer to “Troubleshooting” (page E-145).

Your Digital Keyboard is equipped with a song sequencer and 
other features that you can use to store data you create. This 
stored data is retained even when the Digital Keyboard is 
turned off.
*
However, the tone, rhythm, and other settings you configure 
on the Digital Keyboard’s console normally are returned to 
their initial power on defaults whenever you turn off power.
You can configure the Digital Keyboard so it remembers its 
latest setup or to apply a predetermined default setup each 
time you turn it on. For details, see “AutoResume  (Auto 
Resume)” (page E-129) and “Default  (Default Settings)” 
(page E-129).
*The following data and settings are always retained even 
when power is turned off.
– Registration setup data (page E-61)
– Song sequencer data (page E-63)
– User rhythm data (page E-98)
– User preset data (page E-53)
– User tone data (page E-44)
– Scale fine tuning setting (page E-23)
– User DSP data (page E-35)
– LCD Contrast setting (page E-128)
– Auto Resume setting (page E-129)
You can delete all data in keyboard memory and return all 
keyboard parameters to their initial factory default settings. 
For details, see “To initialize all data and settings (or 
parameter settings only)” (page E-130).
