cally calls up the first disk
song when a disk is inserted
(page 134).

Some song data for the
PSR-A1000 has been
recorded with special “free
tempo” settings. During play-
back of such song data, the
measure numbers shown in
the display will not corre-
spond to the actual measure;
this only serves as a refer-
ence as to how much of the
song has been played back.
n
Songs containing a large
amount of data may not be
able to be read properly by
the instrument, and as such
you may not be able to
select them. The maximum
capacity is about 200–
300KB, however this may
differ depending on the data
contents of each song.
Insert the disk shutter side
