A-B Repeat
The convenient A-B Repeat function is an ideal aid for practicing and learning. It allows
you to specify a phrase of a song (between point A and point B) and repeat it - while
you play or practice along with it.

While playing a song, set point A (the start point).

During playback, press the [A-B REPEAT] button once, at the beginning point
to be repeated.
The A and B points can only be specified at the beginning of a measure (beat 1),
and not at any point in the middle of a measure.

Set point B (the end point).

As the song continues playing, press the [A-B REPEAT] button once again, at
the ending point to be repeated. The selected phrase repeats indefinitely until
stopped.
•If you’re repeat practicing a particularly difficult section, try slowing down the
Tempo to an appropriate speed to make it easier to play and master the part.
You may also want to slow down the Tempo while setting the A and B points; this
makes it easier to accurately set the points.
•You can also set the A-B Repeat function when the song is stopped. Simply use
the [REW] and [FF] buttons to select the desired measures, pressing the [A-B
REPEAT] button for each point, then start playback.
•To set the A point to the beginning of a song, press the [A-B REPEAT] button
before starting playback.
