PSR-K1 Owner’s Manual

Inserting the SmartMedia card

BEFORE you turn on the power of this instrument,

make sure to properly insert the included SmartMe-

dia card in the card slot on the rear panel.

With the gold-plated contact side facing down, insert the

SmartMedia card ﬁrmly but carefully into the card slot, as far

as it will go.

Be careful not to insert the card upside down or

back side in.

* This instrument uses SmartMedia™ (3.3V) memory cards.

Make sure to read the section “Using SmartMe-

dia™ cards (memory cards)” on page 11 for more

important information on the SmartMedia card.

Setting up the included microphone

Also included with the instrument is a microphone,

letting you enjoy karaoke sing-alongs while playing

back the songs, or for singing and playing at the

same time.

■

Connecting the microphone

Before turning on the power of this instrument, connect the

plug of the included microphone to the MIC jack on the rear

panel.

■

Moving the Microphone Holder

The microphone holder can be installed on either side of the

instrument.

If you remove the holder, put the spare micro-

phone holder cap in the hole.

•

All data residing in the internal memory of the PSR-K1 such

as User songs (songs #101 – 105), a User style (style #136),

Registration Memory settings (banks #1 – 8), and panel set-

tings will be lost when turning the power off. Because of this,

make sure to insert a SmartMedia card as backup media to

the CARD slot on the rear panel before turning the power on

and use the card to save your important data.

•

Be careful not to insert or pull out the SmartMedia card while

the power is turned on. Doing so may result in damage to the

SmartMedia card and the internal data.

Make sure to insert

and pull out the SmartMedia card only when the power is off.
