Introductory Guide Whether you are an advanced Electone performer or have never touched an electronic keyboard in your life, we recommend that you take the time to go through this basic section. It shows you in the simplest possible manner how to start playing your AR-80. It also introduces you to some of the basic operations and functions that will come in handy when you later use the AR-80's more advanced features. Getting Started 1. Plug the power cord into an appropriate electrical outlet. 2. Turn on the Electone by pressing the POWER switch. CAUTION Yamaha products are manufactured specifically for the supply voltage in the area where they are to be sold. If you should move, or if any doubt exists about the supply voltage, please consult with a qualified technician. POWER After a brief greeting display, the Voice Display automatically appears. A "Recall Panel" Menu briefly appears at the left side of the display after you turn on the AR-80. Selecting this restores the settings last made to the Electone before it was turned off. (For more information, see page 80.) The Voice Display shows information on many important settings for the instrument, including all Voice sections, current Style and Transpose settings, and the currently played chord in the Lower keyboard. It also provides direct access to volume and pan settings. (See page 23 for more information.) 6
