� You can select a value in the range of 2 through 6. With each setting, a chime sounds as the first beat of each measure, and the remaining beats sound as clicks. Specifying 0 as the setting plays a straight click, without any chime. This setting lets you practice with a steady beat.
Pedal functions G Damper pedal Pressing this pedal causes notes to reverberate and to sustain longer. G Soft pedal Pressing this pedal dampens notes and slightly reduces their volume. Only notes played after the pedal is depressed are affected, and any notes played before the pedal is pressed sound at their normal volume. G Sostenuto pedal Like the damper pedal, this pedal causes notes to reverberate and to sustain longer. The difference between the two pedals is the timing when they are pressed. With the sostenuto pedal, you press the pedal after depressing the notes you want to sustain. Only the notes whose keyboard keys are depressed when the sostenuto pedal is pressed are affected.

Example: [T=120] � The value indicates the number of beats per minutes. � To return the tempo to its initial default setting, press the TEMPO and buttons at the same time.
