piano will not let you set both parts into recording standby.
If you press the other PART button, that part will immediately enter
recording-standby regardless of whether that part already contains data.
4. To start recording, do any of the following: press START/STOP, hit
any key, or step on any pedal. Recording will also start if you press
the appropriate SOUND buttons to select another sound.
If you use START/STOP to begin recording, the piano gives you a 2-
measure count-in before starting to record. If you use any of the other
methods, the piano starts recording immediately. The piano will also
begin recording if it receives a MIDI message (p. 31) on the channel
assigned to the part that is standing by to record.

The START/STOP button flashes in time with the beat while recording is in progress.
You can change sounds during recording by pressing the appropriate
SOUND buttons. The sound changes are included in the recorded data,
and will be reproduced during playback.
If you are recording in Layered mode, note that any pedal actions you
make during recording will be recorded for both sounds.
If you wish, you may use the metronome (p. 20) as a guide while recording.
5. To end the recording, press START/STOP.
The START/STOP button stops flashing and goes dark, and the piano
saves the recorded data into memory. The recorder automatically returns
the playback/record position to the first measure.
If you run low on memory during recording, the REC button will start flashing
to alert you.
The button starts flashing when you have used up 90% of memory;
that is, when you have recorded more than 900 measures (the maximum is 999)
or when remaining note capacity for a given part falls below 1,040.
Please do not turn the power off while recording is in progress.
