PSR-450 Owner’s Manual
When playing disk songs, the range of some songs might exceed the range of the
PSR-450 keyboard (C1 ~ C6). In such cases the out-of-range notes will not appear
in the display score or keyboard, but the icon will appear with an arrow
</> indication whether the notes are above or below the PSR-450 range. If you
want the out-of-range notes to be displayed, use the procedure outlined below to
change the octave of the out-of-range track. The pitch of the track will also be
shifted accordingly. The maximum octave change range is plus or minus 2 octaves.

when you shift the octave down or will appear to the right of the
icon.
