Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Yamaha CLP-134 Clavinova. Your Clavinova is a fine musical instru-
ment that employs advanced Yamaha music technology. With the proper care, your Clavinova will
give you many years of musical pleasure.
@ Stereo sampling of the acoustic piano voices offers unmatched realism and expressive power, while
the AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generator system offers rich, realistic reproductions of all
other voices.
€ 32-note polyphony permits usc of the most sophisticated playing techniques.
€ Piano-like touch response — adjustable in 3 stages — provides extensive expressive control and out-
standing playability.
@ Dual play mode allows 2 voices to be played simultaneously.
@ A number of built-in effects for wide-ranging sonic versatility.
@ Unique Clavinova Tone voice provides a fresh sound for new musical expression.
@ Damper pedal includes natural resonance effect for the piano voices, simulating the string and sound-
board resonance of acoustic pianos.
@ MIDI compatibility and a range of MIDI functions make the Clavinova useful in a range of advanced
MIDI music systems.
In order to make the most of your Clavinova’s performance potential and features, we urge you
to read this Owner's Manual thoroughly, and keep it in a safe place for later reference.
Taking Care Of Your Clavinova
Your Clavinova is a fine musical instrument, and deserves the most careful treatment.
Observe the following points and your Clavinova will sound and look great for many years.
1 Never open the case and touch or tamper with the inter-
nal circuitry.
2 Always turn the POWER switch OFF after use, and
close the key cover to protect the keyboard.
3 Clean the cabinet and keys of your Clavinova only with
a clean, slightly damp cloth. A neutral cleanser may be
used if desired. Never use abrasive cleansers, waxes,
solvents or chemical dust cloths since these can dull or
damage the finish.
4 Never place any viny! products on your Clavinova. Con-
tact with vinyl can cause irreversible damage to the
finish.
5 Install your Clavinova in a place that is away from di-
rect sunlight, excessive humidity or heat.
6 Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors
or other parts of your Clavinova, and avoid scratching
or bumping it with hard objects.
7 Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the
voltage specificd on the name plate.* In some areas a
voltage selector may be provided on the rcar panel of
the main unit. Make sure that the voltage selector is set
for the voltage in your area.
* Name Plate Location
The CLP-134 name plate is located on the bottom panel.

If you will be using sheet music with your
Clavinova, raise the music stand built into its top
panel by lifting the rear edge of the music stand,
then flip down the music stand braces and engage
them with the corresponding recesses.
The music stand can be lowered after slightly
lifting it and folding the two brackets which support
it against the back of the stand.
Note: The PIANO 1 voice is automatically selected when-
ever the [POWER] switch is initially turned ON. i
@ Pedals
The CLP-134 ’s soft (left), sostenuto (center), and
damper (right) pedals provide a range of expressive
control capabilities similar to the pedal functions on an
acoustic piano.

@ MIDI IN, THRU and OUT
Connectors
Tone Generator
@ HEADPHONES Jacks (Bottom Panel)
These jacks are intended for use with an external tone generator module
such as the Yamaha DOM-30 Disk Orchestra Module. The stereo outputs
from the external tone generator module are connected to the OPTIONAL
IN L and R jacks, allowing the sound of the tone generator to be reproduced
via the Clavinova’s internal sound system and speakers.
The AUX OUT R and L/L+R jacks deliver the output of the Clavinova
for connection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA system, or
recording equipment. If you will be connecting the Clavinova to a monaural
sound system, use only the L/L+R jack. When a plug is inserted into the L/
L+R jack only, the left- and right-channel signals are combined and deliv-
ered via the L/L+R jack so you don’t lose any of the Clavinova’s sound.
The internal Amplifier & Speaker System
The CLP-134 features a powerful stereo amplifier delivering 50 watts per channel,
driving a bass-reflex speaker system that puts out exceptionally rich sound with
natural response from powerful lows to shimmering highs. The speaker system
includes two 16-centimeter speaker units, two 10-centimeter units, and two 5-
centimeters speaker units.
Note: The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the OPTIONAL IN jacks,
either directly or through external equipment.
The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI de-
vice (such as the DRC-20 Disk Recorder, or DOM-30 Disk Orchestra Mod-
ule) which can be used 10 control the Clavinova. The MIDI THRU connec-
tor re-transmits any data received at the MIDI IN connector, allowing
“chaining” of several MIDI instruments or other devices. The MIDI OUT
connector transmits MIDI data generated by the Clavinova (e.g. note and
velocity data produced by playing the Clavinova keyboard).
More details on MIDI are given in “MIDI FUNCTIONS” on page 16.
Two pairs of standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here
for private practice or late-night playing. The internal speaker system is
automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into either of
the HEADPHONES jacks.

[4 Play All CLP-134 voices have 32-note polyphony, which means you can play
up to 32 notes at once. The Clavinova also offers keyboard touch response,
so the volume and timbre of notes played can be controlled according to
how “hard” you play the keys. The amount of variation available depends
MU vr on the selected voice.
* The total number of notes that can be played simultaneously is reduced from 32
to 16 when the DUAL play mode is used. See page 9 for information on the
DUAL play mode.
