Some song data for the

PSR-A1000 has been

recorded with special “free

tempo” settings. During play-

back of such song data, the

measure numbers shown in

the display will not corre-

spond to the actual measure;

this only serves as a refer-

ence as to how much of the

song has been played back.

Songs containing a large

amount of data may not be

able to be read properly by

the instrument, and as such

you may not be able to

select them. The maximum

capacity is about 200–

300KB, however this may

differ depending on the data

contents of each song.

Insert the disk shutter side

ﬁrst and label face up.
