Taking Care of Your
Clavinova
Your Clavinova will give you years of playing pleasure if
you observe the simple rules given below:
1.
Avoid Humidity & Heat
Avoid placing the Clavinova in areas that are subject to
excessive humidity or heat. Do not leave the instrument
near heaters or in a car exposed to direct sunlight, for
example.
. Avoid Dust & Moisture
Avoid locations in which the instrument is likely to be
exposed to excessive dust or moisture.
. Power-off Before Connecting
Connections between the Clavinova and any other de-
vice must be made with both picces of equipment turned
off.
. Handle With Care
Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors
or other parts of your Clavinova, and avoid scratching or
bumping it with hard objects. Further, always turn the
POWER switch off after use.
. Clean Carefully
Clean the cabinet and keys of your Clavinova only with
a clean, slightly damp cloth. A neutral cleanser may be
used if desired. Never usc abrasive cleansers, waxes,
solvents or chemical dust cloths since these can dull or
damage the finish.
. Never Tamper With the Internal Circuitry
Never open the Clavinova cabinet and touch or tamper
with the internal circuitry. Tampering with the circuitry
can result in electrical shock!
. Electric Interference
Since the Clavinova contains digital circuitry, it may
cause interference if placed to close to radio or televi-
Sion receivers. If this occurs, move the instrument fur-
ther away from the affected equipment.
. Check Your Power Supply
Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the
voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom panel.
In some areas a voltage selector may be provided on the
bottom panel of the main keyboard unit ncar the power
cord. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the
voltage in your area.
€ Name Plate Location
The nameplate is located on the bottom panel.
Eject Floppy Disks Carefully
To eject a floppy disk, press the eject button slowly as far as
it will go then, when the disk is fully ejected, remove it by hand.
The disk may not be ejected properly if the eject button is
pressed too quickly, or it is not pressed in as far as it will go
(the eject button may get stuck in a half-pressed position and
the disk extends from the drive slot by only a few millimeters). If
this happens, do not attempt to pull out the partially-ejected
disk. Using force in this situation can damage the disk-drive
mechanism. To remove a partially ejected disk, try pressing the
eject button again, or push the disk back into the slot and then
repeat the eject procedure — carefully.

Connections
OPTIONAL IN R and L Jacks
These jacks are intended primarily for use with Yamaha
Expander Modules such as the EMT-1 FM Sound Box,
EMT-10 AWM Sound Box, EMR-1 Drum Box, and DOM-
30 Disk Orchestra Module.
In the case of the DOM-30 Disk Orchestra Module, for
example, the LINE OUT jacks of the DOM-30 are con-
nected to the Clavinova OPTIONAL IN jacks, allowing the
sound of the DOM-30 to be reproduced via the Clavinova's
internal amplifier and speaker system. Refer to the Ex-
pander Module device owner's manual for further details.
00
AUX. OUT R and L/L+R Jacks
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 sys-
tem, 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 delivered via the L/L+R jack so you don't
lose any of the Clavinova's sound.
AUX OUT
© ©
Note: The AUX. OUT jack signal must never be returned to the
OPTIONAL IN jacks, either directly or through external equip-
ment.
MIDI IN, THRU and OUT Connectors
The MIDI IN connector reccives MIDI data from an ex-
ternal MIDI device (such as the EMQ-1 Memory Box,
DRC-20 Disk Recorder, or DOM-30 Disk Orchestra Mod-
ule) which can be uscd to control the Clavinova. The MIDI
THRU connector re-transmits any data received at the MIDI
IN connector, allowing “chaining” of several MIDI instru-
ments or other devices. The MIDI OUT connector transmits
MIDI data generated by the Clavinova (e.g. note and veloc-
ity data produced by playing the Clavinova keyboard).
More details on MIDI are given in “MIDI FUNCTIONS"
on page 32.
Go
EXP. PEDAL Jack (cvP-ss опу)
An optional Yamaha EP-1 Expression Pedal can be con-
nected to this jack to allow foot expression (swell) control.
Please note that the expression pedal does not apply to the
rhythm/accompaniment sound.
EXP PEDAL
HEADPHONES Jacks
One or two standard pairs 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 or both of the
HEADPHONES jacks.
HEADPHONES
The Music Stand
If you will be using sheet music with your Clavinova,
raise the music stand built into it’s top panel by lifting the
rear edge of the music stand, flip the support brackets on the
rear of the music stand down so that they fit into the corre-
sponding recesses.
The music stand can be lowered after slightly lifting the
stand and flipping the two brackets which support it
upward.
The Power Switch
After making sure that the Clavinova’s AC plug is prop-
erly inserted into a convenient AC wall outlet, press the
[POWER] switch located to the left of the keyboard once to
turn the power on. Press the [POWER] switch again to turn
the power off.
When the power is initially turned ON, the PIANO voice
selector LED will light, the POP 1 style selector LED will
light, and a “86” will appear on the TEMPO display.

The Volume Controls
MASTER VOLUME
The MASTER VOLUME control adjusts the overall
volume of sound produced by the Clavinova. It also adjusts
headphone volume when one or two pairs of headphones are
plugged into the HEADPHONES jacks.
Initially set the MASTER VOLUME control about half
way between the "MIN" and "MAX" settings. Then, when
you start playing, adjust the control for the most comfort-
able listening level.
MIN ! | | 1 l 1 í 1 МАХ

MASTER VOLUME
ACCOMPANIMENT
Separate volume controls are provided for the rhythm,
chord 1, chord 2, and bass sound. These volume controls let
you set up the best balance between the various accompani-
ment parts when the PIANO ABC feature is used, and the
RHYTHM volume control can be used to balance the key-
board and rhythm sound when only rhythm is used.
The volume of the keyboard can be independently ad-
justed by using the [BASS] control while holding the
[MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button — this is particularly handy
for adjusting the balance when recording the Clavinova
Sound.

VIBRATO, PITCH BEND, & EXPRES-
SION CONTROL MODE
By pressing the [MARCH] style selector while holding
the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button, the RHYTHM, CHORD
1, CHORD 2, and BASS volume controls are assigned to
control vibrato, upward pitch bend, downward pitch bend,
and expression, respectively. In this mode the RHYTHM
control produces minimum vibrato when set to its minimum
position, and maximum vibrato for the current voice (some
voices do not have vibrato) when set to its maximum posi-
tion. The CHORD 1 and CHORD 2 controls produce nor-
mal pitch when set to their minimum positions, and in-
crease/decrease the pitch by a maximum of 300 cents (a
cent is 1/100th of a semitone) at their maximum positions.
The BASS control produces normal volume at its maximum
position, and reduces volume to about 1/10 when moved to
its minimum position.

The Internal Amplifier & Speaker
System
The CVP-55/CVP-65 features a powerful sterco amplifier
delivering 30 watts per channel, driving a unique Yamaha
speaker system that puts out exceptionally rich sound with
natural response from powerful lows to shimmering highs.
The speaker system includes two 13-centimeter and two 5-
centimeters speaker units.
