Transposing a Song
Playback can be transposed up or down by up to
two octaves. This is useful, for example, when
you want to sing along (karaoke) in a different
key from the original recording.
Note: This function cannot be used to transpose
songs from external devices connected to the
AUX IN connector.
Transposition changes remain in effect until
recording is started, the disk is ejected, or the
Disklavier is turned off.
To transpose a song, use one of the following options:
a
On the Control Unit, press the
Selector until the TRANSPOSE
indicator lights. Then, press
[+/YES] to increase or [–/NO] to
decrease the transposition value.
A display similar to the following appears.
Playback can be transposed in half-step
increments up or down two octaves (–24 to
+24).
Note: Be careful when transposing songs on
CDs, as increasing or decreasing the
transposition value too much may have
an adverse effect on the sound quality.
b
On the remote control, use the
[TRANSPOSE] buttons.
[–] decreases the transposition value, and
[+] increases the transposition value.
[0] resets the transposition value to 00.
Once transposed, the transposition value is
shown continuously on the display.
Adjusting the Pitch of
Audio CDs
You can temporarily adjust the pitch of an audio
CD for your listening pleasure.
Pitch adjustments are effective until the CD is

pitch of external audio CDs connected to the
AUX IN connector.
