Trans.= 0 Pitch=440.0Hz
The most important and fundamental adjustment for any musical instrument is tuning.
The TRANSPOSITION, TUNING, and OCTAVE CHANGE functions described below let
you control the pitch of the PSR-5700 in a number of ways.

Press [EXIT] When Done
Select the TRANSPOSE/TUNE function from the normal play mode by
pressing the [TRANSPOSE/TUNE] button (this is the same as the [
<
] dis-
play scroll button to the right of the LCD panel).
Use the left [-] and [+] buttons to set the desired degree of transposition,
and the right [-] and [+] buttons to set the desired degree of tuning.
The transpose range is from -6 to +6, allowing a maximum upward or
downward transposition of 1/2-octave. A setting of 0 produces the normal
pitch. The “0” setting can be instantly recalled by pressing both the left [-]
and [+] buttons simultaneously.
The tuning range is from 427.5 Hertz to 452.5 Hertz, adjustable in 0.5-
Hertz increments. 440.0 Hertz is “normal” pitch, and this setting can be
directly recalled by pressing both the right [-] and [+] buttons simultane-
ously.
Press the [EXIT] button to exit from the TRANSPOSE/TUNE function.
The TRANSPOSE/TUNE mode is automatically exited if neither of the [-] or [+]
buttons are pressed for approximately 10 seconds.
