only damage the headphones, but may also cause
hearing loss. Listen at appropriate levels.

2.5 Listening to the demo songs

The C-180 features seventeen internal demo songs
you may want to listen to before starting to play your-
self.

Selecting a demo song

The C-180’s demo songs reside in four banks that can
be selected using the [M1]~[M4] buttons.

Press the [DEMO] button (indicator lights).

In the above table, select the song you want to lis-

ten to.

Press the [M] button that corresponds to the bank

that contains the desired demo song.

Here’s an example: if you wanted to listen to the
“Requiem Introitus” by Mozart, you would have to
press the [M3] button.

Press the tilt tab that is assigned to the desired

demo song to start playback of that song.

For the “Requiem Introitus”, press [PRINCIPAL 8’].

Alternatively, press [SET] to listen to all songs of the
selected [M] bank.

Press [PLAY] (or set the tilt tab you pressed above

to the off position) to stop demo song playback.

Press [SET] again to stop playback of the selected
song bank, if you pressed [SET] above to listen to all
songs of that bank.

To leave the Demo mode, press [DEMO] again

(indicator goes dark).

al for purposes other than private, personal enjoyment is a
