As soon as you play a chord with your left hand, the auto
accompaniment starts.

For this example, play a C major chord (as shown below).

When the playback of the intro is finished, it automatically leads into main A
section.

• The indicator of the

destination section (MAIN A
or B) will flash while the
corresponding fill-in is
playing. During this time you
can change the destination
section by pressing the
appropriate MAIN/AUTO

• You can use the intro section

even in the middle of the
song by pressing the
[INTRO] button during the
song.

button is pressed after the
final half beat (eighth note) of
the measure, fill-in will begin
from the next measure.

Press the [MAIN B] button.

A fill-in plays, automatically followed by the main B section.

This switches to the ending section. When the ending is finished, the auto
accompaniment automatically stops.
You can have the ending gradually slow down (ritardando) by pressing the
[ENDING] button again while the ending is playing back.

• If you press the INTRO

button while the ending is
playing, the intro section will
begin playing after the
ending is finished.

• If you press a MAIN/AUTO

FILL button while the ending
is playing, the fill-in
accompaniment will

continuing with the main
section.

• If you press the [SYNC

START] button while the
accompaniment is playing,
the accompaniment will stop
and the PSR-540 will enter
