from 0 0 0 (softest) to 1 2 7 (loudest)
on the keypad. The numbers appear
on the display as you press the
keys.
To select the next highest or lowest
accompaniment volume number,
you can also press + or – after
pressing ACCOMP VOLUME. Hold
down + or – to quickly increase or
decrease the accompaniment vol-
ume.
