[. . . ] When replacement becomes necessary, contact a qualified service representative to perform the replacement. This product may also use "household" type batteries.

Turn off the A/B Repeat function. Press the button. This can be done either when the song is stopped or during playback. oFF Repeat MEASURE 001 HINT: · You can also set the A/B Repeat function while the song is stopped. Simply use the r/f buttons to select the measures for the A and B points in the song, then start playback. · While the song is playing back (but before setting the A/B points), try slowing down the Tempo (page 21). This makes it easier to accurately set the A and B points. Slowing down the Tempo also makes it easier to practice the parts you want to learn. · To set the A point at the beginning of a song, press the button before starting song playback. NOTE: Selecting a different song number (or changing to the Style mode) automatically cancels the A/B Repeat function. 25 Selecting and Playing Songs -- The Song Mode Melody Guide The PortaTone has a special Melody Guide function that makes practice and learning of the 100 songs both fun and easy. During song playback, the PortaTone shows the notes of the melody in the music staves and the keyboard diagram in the display -- indicating which notes you should play and when you should play them. The Melody Guide function even lets you practice at your own pace by automatically pausing playback until you play the correct notes. To further help you play the correct melody notes, scores for all songs have been provided. There are two different types of Melody Guide operations: Waiting (auto pause playback) and Minus One (muted melody). Each style is made up of separate "sections" -- Intro, Main A and B (with 4 Fill-ins), and Ending -- letting you call up different accompaniment patterns as you perform. The auto accompaniment features that are built into the rhythms add the excitement of instrumental backing to your performance, letting you control the accompaniment by the chords you play. Auto accompaniment effectively splits the keyboard into two sections: The upper is used for playing a melody line, and the lower (labeled "ACMP" below the keyboard) is for the auto accompaniment function.
