Adjusting the Volume

Adjust the [MASTER VOLUME] control while playing to set the desired overall volume level.

SUSTAIN

Press the [SUSTAIN] button once (the indicator will light) and notes played on the keyboard will decay gradually after you lift your fingers from the keys. Press the [SUSTAIN] button a second time (the indicator will go out) to turn the sustain effect off.
The SUSTAIN effect cannot be applied to accompaniment or rhythm, When the PSR-300 DUAL function is engaged, sustain is applied to both voices. Sustain can be applied independently to the left- and right-hand voices in the split mode (see The Split Mode on page 6). Press a key to the right of the split point to select the right-hand voice, then turn sustain on or off for that voice. Press a key to the left of the split point to select the left-hand voice, then turn sustain on or off for that voice. Sustain can be turned on or off for the melody voice during DEMO playback. Sustain does not affect voice 97 (VOICE BOX) and voice 99 (DRUMS).

DUAL (PSR-300 only)

The PSR-300 DUAL feature makes it possible to select and play two different voices simultaneously. To activate the DUAL feature press the [DUAL ON/OFF] button (the indicator will light). When ON, the voice selected prior to turning the DUAL feature ON will sound simultaneously with a second dual voice. When the PSR-300 is initially turned ON, the STAR LIGHT 2 voice (number 80) is assigned as the dual voice. Any other voice can be selected as the dual voice while the DUAL feature is ON. The DUAL feature can be turned OFF by pressing the [DUAL ON/OFF] button again.

TRANSPOSE

When the DUAL function is used with the SPLIT mode (see page 6) different dual voices can be assigned to the left- and right-hand sections of the keyboard. Press a key to the right of the split point to select the right-hand voice, then turn DUAL on and select the righthand dual voice. Press a key to the left of the split point to select the left-hand voice, then turn DUAL on and select the left-hand dual voice.
When the SINGLE FINGER or FINGERED accompaniment mode is selected, the DUAL feature applies only to the right-hand section of the keyboard.

The PSR-200/PSR-300 [TRANSPOSE] buttons makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of 12 semitones (one octave). Transposing the pitch of the PSR-200/PSR-300 keyboard makes it easier to play in difficult key signatures, and you can simply match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist. and buttons are used for transThe TRANSPOSE or button is position. The first time the TRANSPOSE pressed the current transpose value will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY. While the current transpose value is still showing button to increase on the display, press the TRANSPOSE button to lower the pitch the pitch of the keyboard, or the The selected degree of transposition will be displayed on the or button MULTI DISPLAY while the TRANSPOSE is pressed, and for approximately 2 seconds after either TRANSPOSE button is released.
The transposition range is from -12 to +12, with -12 corresponding to downward transposition by 12 semitones (one octave, and +12 corresponding to upward transposition by 12 semitones. 0 is the normal keyboard pitch value. The normal transpose value (0) can be recalled at any time by pressing buttons at the same time. both the TRANSPOSE and
The transpose value is automatically set to 0 whenever the power switch is turned ON.

THE SPLIT MODE

The PSR-200/PSR-300 SPLIT mode allows you to play two voices at once one with the left hand and one with the right. The left-hand voice can be played to the left of the split point, set as described below, and the right-hand voice can be played to the right of the split point.
Select the right-hand and left-hand voices as required. When the SPLIT mode is first selected the current voice is assigned to the right-hand keys. If no other left-hand voice has been selected since the PSR-200/PSR-300 was turned ON, the ELECTRIC BASS voice (number 82) will be assigned to the left-hand keys.
The left-hand voice is octave-shifted to provide the best sound in the left-hand range.
Press the [MODE] button as many times as necessary until the SPLIT indicator lights this selects the SPLIT mode.

2. Select any of the PSR-200/PSR-300s 50 accompaniment
styles by using one of the two following methods: 1: Choose one of the 50 accompaniment styles numbered 00 through 49 shown on the STYLE LIST then enter its number using the numeric VOICE/STYLE buttons. To select FUSION1 (number 27), for example, first press 2 and then 7. The number 27 should then be displayed on the MULTI DISPLAY.
The tempo is automatically set to the default value for the DANCE1 style whenever the power switch is turned ON. It is also possible to adjust the tempo after starting playback of the accompaniment. This allows you to set the optimum tempo by ear.
Starting the Accompaniment
2: The [+] and [-] buttons in the VOICE/STYLE group can be used to increment (increase by one) or decrement (decrease by one) the current accompaniment style number. Press the [+] button briefly to select the accompaniment style one number higher than the current accompaniment style, or the [-] button to select the accompaniment style one number lower than the current accompaniment style. If you hold the [+] or [-] button down, the accompaniment style number will increment or decrement continuously simply release the button when the desired accompaniment style number has been reached. Press the [START/STOP] button to start the selected accompaniment immediately, or press the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button if you want the accompaniment to start when you play the first note on the keyboard. If you press the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button, the three dots along the bottom of the MULTI DISPLAY will flash at the selected tempo.
The three LED dots at the bottom of the MULTI DISPLAY provide a visual indication of the selected tempo as follows:
1st. Beat 2nd. Beat 3rd. Beat 4th. Beat
When the power is initially turned ON, the 00 DANCE1 style is automatically selected.
If neither the FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER mode is selected, the accompaniment will consist only of rhythm (drums & percussion) sounds. Operation of the AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT SINGLE FINGER and FINGERED modes is described on page 9 and 10. A different accompaniment style can be selected at any time while the accompaniment is playing. The style number display will change as soon as the selection is made, but the new style will begin playback from the top of the next measure. The tempo will not change when the new style begins playing.
RHYTHM ACCOMPANIMENT Starting the Accompaniment with an Introduction
Any of the PSR-200/PSR-300 accompaniment patterns can be started with an appropriate introduction by pressing the [INTRO/FILL IN] button. The intro pattern will repeat as long as the [INTRO/FILL IN] button is held. Once the button is released, the normal pattern will begin playing from the top of the next measure.
Adjusting the Accompaniment Volume
Although the MASTER VOLUME control can be used to set the overall volume level, the ACCOMPANIMENT VOLand UME buttons can be used to adjust the volume of the selected accompaniment in relation to the right-hand melody voice. The fist time the ACCOMPANIMENT VOLor UME button is pressed the current volume will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY. While the current volume is still showing on the display, press the ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUME butbutton to increase the volume, or the ton to decrease the volume. The selected volume level will be displayed on the MULTI DISPLAY while the volume is being adjusted, and for approximately 2 seconds after either VOLUME button is released. The volume range is from 0 to 24, with 0 being the lowest volume and 24 the highest. The default accompaniment volume value (21) can be recalled at any time by pressing both and the ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUME buttons at the same time.

Adding Fill-ins

To add a short fill-in (rhythm variation) at any time while the accompaniment is playing, press the [INTRO/FILL IN] button. If you hold the [INTRO/FILL IN] button, the fill-in pattern will repeat until the button is released, then the normal rhythm will begin from the beginning of the next measure.
The accompaniment volume is automatically set to 21 whenever the power switch is turned ON. If the [INTRO/FILL IN] button is pressed within one 1/4 beat from the beginning of a beat, the fill in will begin immediately. If pressed at any other time the fill in will begin on the beginning of the next beat.
Stopping the Accompaniment
An accompaniment in progress can be stopped immediately by pressing the [START/STOP] button, or it can be stopped with an appropriate ending by pressing the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button.
If the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button is pressed within one 1/4 beat from the beginning of a measure, the ending will begin immediately. If pressed at any other time the ending will begin on the beginning of the next measure. If the [INTRO/FILL IN] button is pressed while the ending pattern is playing, a fill-in will be played, followed by a return to the normal pattern.

AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT

The PSR-200/PSR-300 includes a sophisticated Auto accompaniment system that can provide automated bass and chordal backing in a number of ways.
The maximum number of notes that can be played simultaneously on the PSR-200/PSR-300 keyboard is reduced when the Auto Accompaniment feature is used.
3. Select the desired accompaniment style in the normal
way. Although you can select the melody (upper keyboard) voice you intend to use, the PSR-200/PSR-300 automatically determines the voices to be used for the accompaniment part according the accompaniment style you select.
Single Finger Accompaniment
SINGLE FINGER accompaniment makes it simple to produce beautifully orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys in the left-hand section of the keyboard. The bass and chord accompaniment produced is perfectly matched to the currently selected accompaniment style.
Press the [START/STOP] button, [SYNCHRO START/ ENDING] button or the [INTRO/FILL IN] buttons to determine how the accompaniment will be started (see page 7). If you press the [START/STOP] button or the [INTRO/FILL IN] button, the rhythm will begin playing immediately without bass and chord accompaniment.
Press the [MODE] button as many times as necessary until the SINGLE FINGER indicator lights this selects the SINGLE FINGER mode.
Press any key to the left of the split point to start the automatic accompaniment. If you press a C key, for example, a C-major accompaniment will be played. Press another key in the left-hand section of the keyboard to select a new chord. The key you press will always determine the root of the chord played (i.e. C for a C chord).

Setting the SINGLE FINGER Mode Split Point: The split point for the SINGLE FINGER mode is initially set at the D2 key. It can be set to any other key by pressing the desired split-point key while holding the [SPLIT POINT CHANGE] button. The split point is shown on the MULTI DISPLAY for as long as the [SPLIT POINT CHANGE] button is held. The D2 key, for example, would be displayed as d 2. F#2 would be displayed as F-2. The sharp is indicated by the lit bar between the F and the 2. The SINGLE FINGER mode split point is retained in memory and will be recalled whenever the SINGLE FINGER mode is selected. A method of initializing the SINGLE FINGER mode split point to its original default value is described on page 6.
Playing Minor, Seventh, and Minor-seventh Chords in the Single-finger Mode
For a minor chord, press the root key and a black key to its left. For a seventh chord, press the root key and a white key to its left. For a minor-seventh chord, press the root key and both a white and black key to its left.
The automatic accompaniment will continue playing even if you lift your fingers from the Auto Accompaniment keys. You only need to press the Auto Accompaniment keys when changing cords.
Press the [START/STOP] button or the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button to stop the Accompaniment.
AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT Setting the Accompaniment Volume
Set the volume of the Auto Accompaniment sound using the ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUME buttons. The MASTER VOLUME control can be used to set the overall volume level.
The PSR-200/300 memorizes separate SINGLE FINGER, FINGERED, and SPLIT mode split points. The corresponding split point is automatically recalled when one of these modes is selected.
Use the TEMPO buttons to set the desired accompaniment tempo (see Setting the Tempo on page 7 for details).
The [INTRO/FILL IN] button can be used in the Auto Accompaniment mode to create pattern variations in the same way that it is with rhythm accompaniment patterns (refer to Adding Fill-ins on page 8 for details).
3. Select the desired accompaniment style in the normal way.

Although you can select the melody (upper keyboard) voice you intend to use, the PSR-200/PSR-300 automatically determines the voices to be used for the accompaniment part according the accompaniment style you select.

Fingered Accompaniment

The FINGERED mode is ideal if you already know how to play chords on a keyboard, since it allows you to supply your own chords for the Auto Accompaniment feature.
Press the [START/STOP] button, [SYNCHRO START/ ENDING] button or the [INTRO/FILL IN] buttons to determine how the accompaniment will be started (see page 7). If you press the [START/STOP] button or the [INTRO/ FILL IN] button, the rhythm will begin playing immediately without bass and chord accompaniment. section of the keyboard, the PSR-200/PSR-300 will automatically begin to play the chord along with the selected rhythm and an appropriate bass line. The accompaniment will continue playing even if you release the Auto Accompaniment keys. The PSR-200/PSR-300 will accept the following chord types (see fingering chart on page 19):
Major Minor Major seventh Minor major seventh Minor sixth Minor seventh Minor seventh flatted fifth Seventh Seventh flatted fifth Seventh suspended fourth Suspended fourth Augmented Diminished

Setting the FINGERED Mode Split Point: The split point for the FINGERED mode is initially set at the G2 key. It can be set to any other key by pressing the desired split-point key while holding the [SPLIT POINT CHANGE] button. The split point is shown on the MULTI DISPLAY for as long as the [SPLIT POINT CHANGE] button is held. The G2 key, for example, would be displayed as g 2. F#2 would be displayed as F2. The sharp is indicated by the lit bar between the F and the 2. The FINGERED mode split point is retained in memory and will be recalled whenever the FINGERED mode is selected. A method of initializing the FINGERED mode split point to its original default value is described on page 6. 10
Notes in parentheses may be omitted.
Minor sixth chords will only be properly detected if they are played in root position. Seventh flatted fifth chords will only be recognized if either the root or flatted seventh is the lowest note. For diminished and augmented chords, the lowest key pressed is assumed to be the root.
An octave i.e. two notes played exactly one octave apart will be detected as a chord suitable for major or minor, with the note played as the root note. All other FINGERED mode operations are the same as in the SINGLE FINGER mode.

AUTO HARMONY

This sophisticated feature automatically adds appropriate harmony notes to a melody you play on the keyboard. You can choose from 5 different types of harmony.
Only a single note can be played at a time on the keyboard (or the right-hand section of the keyboard when in the SPLIT mode) when the AUTO HARMONY feature is used.

THE CHORD MEMORY

The PSR-200/PSR-300 CHORD MEMORY allows you to record and play back chord sequences created using the Auto Accompaniment feature. You can record a complete accompaniment part, for example, and then play along with it using both hands youre free to use the entire keyboard for your performance rather than being limited to only the upper keyboard area. The CHORD MEMORY also has three separate banks that can be used to record different accompaniments. The banks can be chained i.e. they will play back in any specified order. This allows you to record a verse and chorus in different banks, for example, then chain them in the desired order for playback.
Chord sequences containing a maximum of 60 different chords can be recorded in each bank. Material recorded using the CHORD MEMORY is retained in memory even when the POWER switch is turned OFF (if batteries are present).
Use the [AUTO HARMONY] buttons to select a harmony type between 01 and 05. or The first time the AUTO HARMONY button is pressed the current harmony type number will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY. While the current harmony type is still showing on the display, press the AUTO HARMONY button briefly to increment (increase by button to decone) the harmony type number, or the rement (decrease by one) the harmony type number. Holding either button causes continuous incrementing or decrementing. The selected harmony type number will be shown on the MULTI DISPLAY while the [AUTO HARMONY] or button is pressed (the letter H will appear before the harmony type number).

Recording

Pick out an accompaniment style that is appropriate for the type of music you want to record. Press the [BANK 1], [BANK 2], or [BANK 3] button while holding the CHORD MEMORY [REC] button. This engages the record ready mode for the selected bank. The bank indicator will flash, the metronome will sound, and the three dots along the bottom of the MULTI DISPLAY will flash at the currently selected tempo. Press the [REC] button again if you want to disengage the record ready mode and perform some other function. If the NORMAL or SPLIT mode is selected, the FINGERED mode is automatically selected when the record ready mode is engaged. If the FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER mode is selected, no change occurs.

Press the [DEMO START/STOP] button to start demo playback. The demonstration will play continuously until the [DEMO START/STOP] button is pressed again.
A different melody voice, tempo, transposition, or melody effect parameter (sustain, harmony, or dual on the PSR-300) can be selected at any time while the demonstration is playing. Refer to the appropriate sections of this manual for instructions.

SONGBOOK Music-minus-one

This is a feature that plays the accompaniment to a selected tune while you play a melody or ad-lib phrases on the keyboard. The tunes are the same as the demo tunes, and are selected in the same way.

MOVING UP TO MIDI

A Brief Introduction to MIDI
MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a worldstandard communication interface that allows MIDI-compatible musical instruments and equipment to share musical information and control one another. This makes it possible to create systems of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far greater versatility and control than is available with isolated instruments.
Use the [SONG SELECT] buttons to select a song number between 00 and 14. Press the button briefly to increment (increase by one) the song number, or the button to decrement (decrease by one) the song number. Holding either button causes continuous incrementing or decrementing. The selected song number will be shown on the MULTI DISor PLAY while the SONG SELECT button is pressed. Press the [MINUS ONE START/STOP] button to start playback of the selected song without the melody line.
When Minus One playback begins, the same voice as for the corresponding demo melody is selected. The DUAL setting and harmony type are also the same.
The PSR-300 MIDI Connectors
The PSR-300 MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device which can be used to control the PSR-300. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the PSR-300 (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the keyboard).
3. Play along on the keyboard.
Only the NORMAL and SPLIT modes can be used during minus-one playback. The NORMAL mode will automatically be selected if FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER is engaged when minus-one playback is started.

Simple MIDI Control

Most MIDI keyboards (including the PSR-300, of course) transmit note and velocity (touch response) information via the MIDI OUT connector whenever a note is played on the keyboard. If the MIDI OUT connector is connected to the MIDI IN connector of a second keyboard (synthesizer, etc.) or a tone generator (essentially a synthesizer with no keyboard), the second keyboard or tone generator will respond precisely to notes played on the original transmitting keyboard. The result is that you can effectively play two instruments at once, providing thick multi-instrument sounds. The PSR-300 also transmits program change data when one of its voices is selected. Depending on how the receiving device is set up, the corresponding voice will be automatically selected on the receiving keyboard or tone generator whenever a voice is selected on the PSR-300.

4. Playback will continue until the [MINUS ONE START/
STOP] button is pressed again.
If you press the [DEMO START/STOP] button during minus-one playback, the melody part will reappear and playback will continue in the DEMO mode. On the other hand, if you press the [MINUS ONE START/ STOP] button during demo playback, the melody part will be muted and playback will continue in the MINUS ONE mode.
The following functions can be used during minus-one playback:
SPLIT DUAL VOICE selection SUSTAIN TEMPO ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUME TRANSPOSE SPLIT POINT CHANGE AUTO HARMONY (applies to notes played on the keyboard) The Demo Tunes of this keyboard are Demonstration purposes only. It may not be possible to reproduce the Demo Tunes 100% manually.
The PSR-300 is capable of receiving the same MIDI data, so a second MIDI keyboard connected to the PSR-300 MIDI IN connector can be used to remotely play the PSR-300 and select voices as required.
(PSR-300 only) MIDI Sequence Recording
The same type of musical information transfer described above is used for MIDI sequence recording. A MIDI sequence recorder can be used to record MIDI data received from a PSR-300, for example. When the recorded data is played back, the PSR-300 automatically plays the recorded performance in precise detail. or button is pressed during external sync If the TEMPO mode is engaged, EC (External Clock) will appear on the display. External synchronization is automatically selected when MIDI clock is received. If the external MIDI clock data is not received, internal clock operation is automatically resumed. Velocity sensitivity is dependent on the selected voice. *Refer to the Remote Control Mode MIDI Implementation Chart on page 34 for more details. Remote Control Mode Transmission The following points apply to MIDI data transmitted by the PSR-300 in the Remote Control mode.
PSR-300 MIDI Settings & Functions The Remote Control Mode
The Remote Control mode should be used when the PSR300 is to be connected to a second keyboard which it is to control. If the PSR-300 is being used as the receiving device, it can be played from an external keyboard while the panel controls including auto accompaniment operate normally. Remote Control Mode Selection The Remote Control mode is automatically selected whenever the PSR-300 is turned ON. If the Multi Voice Mode has been selected (see below), however, the Remote Control mode can be re-selected by pressing the numeric VOICE/STYLE [0] button while holding the CHORD MEMORY [REC] button. rc will appear on the display.

Transmitted note numbers are not affected by the Transpose setting. In the NORMAL or SPLIT mode, all keyboard data is transmitted via the specified MIDI transmit channel. When the FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER mode is used, only MIDI data corresponding to notes played on the right-hand section of the keyboard is transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector on the specified MIDI transmit channel.
Remote Control Mode MIDI Transmission Normal Mode

SPLIT Mode

Remote Control Mode Reception The following points apply to MIDI data received by the PSR-300 in the Remote Control mode.
MIDI start messages control PSR-300 rhythm, chord memory record start, and chain play start in the same way as the panel [START/STOP] button. MIDI stop messages have the same effect as pressing the panel [START/STOP] button when a function is running. OMNI ON means that reception can occur simultaneously on all available channels (1 through 16). When a single receive channel is selected, reception only occurs on the specified channel. In addition to note and velocity data, the PSR-300 responds to program change, sustain ON/OFF, start, stop, and MIDI clock messages. Transpose settings affect received MIDI note numbers.
Data from the left- and right-hand sections of the keyboard is mixed and transmitted over the same MIDI channel.
FINGERED, SINGLE FINGER Mode
Data from the left-hand section of the keyboard is not transmitted.
MOVING UP TO MIDI (PSR-300 only)
The MIDI program change number corresponding to the number of the selected voice is transmitted when a voice is selected. A MIDI START message is transmitted whenever the rhythm or accompaniment is started, and a MIDI STOP message is transmitted whenever the rhythm or accompaniment is stopped. The same applies to demo and chord memory start/stop operations. Accompaniment style, demo, chord memory, and transpose data is not transmitted.
Multi Mode Transmission The default transmit channel in the Multi mode is the same as that in the Remote Control mode, and can be set via the same procedure (see below). The transmitted data is also the same as in the Remote Control mode, except that no MIDI start/stop message transmission occurs.

Press the numeric VOICE/STYLE [1] button while holding the CHORD MEMORY [REC] button. The current MIDI transmit channel number will appear on the display. While still holding the [REC] button press the key corresponding to the desired transmit channel (C1 confirm that the desired channel has been selected on the MULTI DISPLAY, then release the [REC] button. The transmit channel is automatically set to channel 1 and the receive channel is automatically set to OMNI ON when the power is initially turned ON.
*Refer to the Multi Mode MIDI Implementation Chart on page 35 for more details.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If MIDI note numbers higher than C#6 are received when the DRUMS voice is selected (in either the Remote Control or Multi mode), the corresponding percussion sounds are produced.
C#6 = Voice Five D#6 = Voice Six F#6 = Voice Seven G#6 = Voice Eight" A#6 = Click Lo C#7 = Click Hi
Something not working as it should? In many cases what appears to be a malfunction can be traced to a simple error that can be remedied immediately. Before assuming that your PSR-200/PSR-300 is faulty, please check the following points.

1. PROBLEM

The PSR-200/PSR-300 speakers produce a pop sound whenever the power is turned ON or OFF. CHECK This is normal and is no cause for alarm.
Data received via the MIDI IN connector is not retransmitted via the MIDI OUT connector (i.e. no echo-back) in either the Remote Control or Multi mode.
PROBLEM No sound. CHECK Are the MASTER VOLUME control and accompaniment volume levels turned up high enough? PROBLEM Rhythm wont start or no rhythm sound. CHECK Is the accompaniment volume turned up high enough? Are you sure you pressed the START button? Perhaps the PSR-200/PSR-300 is in the SYNCHRO START mode, so all you have to do is start playing. PROBLEM Auto accompaniment wont function. No lower keyboard sound. CHECK Auto accompaniment wont function if the FINGERED mode is selected and youre using SINGLE FINGER type fingering or improper chord fingering. Are you sure youre playing in the left-hand section of the keyboard when the FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER mode is selected? The left-hand section of the keyboard will produce no sound if synchro start is disengaged in the FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER mode. PROBLEM The accompaniment key changes while youre playing. CHECK Perhaps you accidentally pressed a key in the left-hand range. PROBLEM Auto accompaniment chords dont seem to change properly. CHECK Are you playing chords that the PSR-200/PSR-300 can recognize (see fingering chart on page 19)? PROBLEM The sound is distorted or intermittent. CHECK In this case, your batteries are probably flat and need replacement. 17
PROBLEM Sustain produces little or no effect. CHECK The sustain effect may not sound as deep as it normally does when used during accompaniment or demo playback. This is normal. PROBLEM Abnormal operation not listed above. Complete lack of control. CHECK The internal microprocessor may have been locked up due to static electricity or other causes. Turn the instrument OFF for a minute or so, then turn it ON again. If the power can not be turned off by using the [POWER] button, remove the batteries and/or unplug the AC power adaptor.
