3. Start playback by pressing the PLAY button.
The PLAY lamp lights up and small dashes move across the display, indicating that the M.D.R. is
resetting Registrations on the AR-80.
Playback of the song begins after the AR-80 data is reset and the song time is shown on both
displays. During playback, the bottom row of controls changes to include the following
functions: Pause, Rewind (REW.), and Fast Forward (F.F.). For more information on those
controls, see page 108.
Playback automatically stops at the end of a song. You can, however, stop playback in the
middle of a song by pressing the STOP button.

Playback of Selected Parts

You can also play back the selected parts of your recorded performance, while other parts are
temporarily turned off. This function is especially useful for manually playing a single part
(such as the melody) over previously recorded accompaniment parts.

To play back a selected part or parts of a song:

1. Select the number of the song to be played back.
Use the SONG SELECT buttons or the SONG SELECT controls in the display.
2. Select the part or parts for playback.
Set the parts you wish to play back to PLAY, and set the parts you wish to mute to OFF. (Use the
appropriate Data Control buttons.)
3. Press the PLAY button.
First the Registration and other data are read, then playback of the performance starts (excepting
the parts that were turned off in step #2).
You can play along with the previously recorded parts. Playback automatically stops at the end
of the recorded song. To stop playback before the end of the song, press the STOP button (or
select STOP in the display).
