Yamaha PORTATONE PSR-1000 - Manual (Page 79)

Song Playback
79 PSR-2000/1000
This feature lets you mute certain parts of the song (Track1, Track2, Extra Tracks), and play back only those parts you
want to hear. For example, if you want to practice the melody of a song, you can mute just the right-hand part and play
that part yourself.
This feature allows you to specify a certain range of the song (between Point A and Point B), and play it back repeatedly.
