Actually, I was looking for this information for 3 years!...now thanks to you, the manual is on my hands and of great help, cause I understand now where I was doing wrong connections and wires...excellent, I'll be back to you if in need, thank you.
This manual covers the main equipment features only. While it also includes the procedure for saving and loading from the now long obsolete memory cards it does not mention the how to operate with the optional floppy drive interface so I am still at a loss about how to use this! Note that there is a separate manual covering the MIDI interface and programming via the keyboard, not included in this download. You will also need to get hold of this if you want to use the MIDI interface properly. Basically there is little difference between this manual and the free to download manual for the similar PR60 model.

Recording a phrase from CD/MD to create a loop phrase
9. Press the MODE button to select how overdubbing will occur.
As you did in step 2, select the overdubbing method. If you wish to overdub a performance from guitar or mic, select INST & MIC.
10. Press the left pedal to begin playback. 11. When you wish to overdub (p. 12) along with the phrase, press the left pedal.
Each time you press the left pedal, you will switch between playback and overdubbing modes. � To cancel (undo) the most recently recorded overdub, hold down the left pedal for at least two seconds. When you undo an overdub, the OVERDUB indicator flashes. * You cannot undo if the unit only has a slight amount of memory left (the OVERDUB indicator does not flash even if the left pedal is held down for two seconds or more).
� To restore (redo) a cancelled overdub, hold down the left pedal again for at least two seconds. When you redo an overdub, the OVERDUB indicator flashes. � To undo all overdubbed sounds (clear), hold down the right pedal for at least two seconds. Cleared overdubs cannot be restored. * If the internal memory is used up, overdubbing may stop before you are finished. If this occurs, erase unnecessary phrases (p. 31), and try the operation again.
12. To stop playback and overdubbing, press the right pedal.
