labeled “CHORD TYPE .” (The note doesn’t sound.)
The notes you should play for the specified chord (root note and chord type) are
shown in the display, both as notation and in the keyboard diagram.
To call up possible inversions of the chord, press the [+]/[-] buttons.

When you’ve played the chord properly, a bell sound signals your success and
the chord name in the display flashes.
