Introductory Guide
Whether you are an advanced Electone performer or have never touched an electronic keyboard in
your life, we recommend that you take the time to go through this basic section. It shows you in the
simplest possible manner how to start playing your AR-100. It also introduces you to some of the
basic operations and functions that will come in handy when you later use the AR100’s more
advanced features.
Getting Started
1. Plug the power cord into an appropriate electrical
outlet.
2.
Turn on the Electone by pressing the POWER
switch.
After a brief greeting display, the Voice Display automatically appears.
The Voice Display shows information on many important settings for the instrument, including
all Voice sections, current Style and Transpose settings, and the currently played chord in the
Lower keyboard. It also provides direct access to volume and pan settings. (See page 23 for
more information.)
Yamaha products are
manufactured specifically for
the supply voltage in the area
where they are to be sold. If you
should move, or if any doubt
exists about the supply voltage,
please consult with a qualified
technician.
A “Recall Panel” Menu briefly
appears at the left side of the
display after you turn on the
AR-100. Selecting this restores
the settings last made to the
Electone before it was turned
off. (For more information, see
page 80.)
