Key Transpose - JVC KB-700 Owner's Manual

KEY TRANSPOSE '
This function makes it possible to transpose the key of any piece; this is convenient when the vocalist sings in a different key from
that in which the piece is written; by transposing to the key of C, you can also avoid playing so, many black notes.
Press the KEY TRANSPOSE button, and while keeping this depressed, press the note which is to be moved to C.
Example 1: If you want to sing a song written in the key of C
in the key of D O.e. one tone higher'th.an the musicl, or when
you want to playa tune written in D major or B minor (which
have two sharps) wit:hout playing so many black keys".
