Yamaha Musical Instrument CLP 820S User Manual

IMPORTANT  
Check your power supply  
Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the volt-  
age 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 near the power cord. Make sure that  
the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. The  
voltage selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially  
shipped. To change the setting use a “minus” screwdriver to  
rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage appears next  
to the pointer on the panel.

PRECAUTIONS  
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING  
* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.  
WARNING  
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock,  
short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:  
• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or  
modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts.  
If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and  
have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.  
switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument  
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.  
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required  
voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.  
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet  
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill  
into any openings.  
• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the  
outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.  
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may  
have accumulated on it.  
• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden  
loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or  
smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power  
CAUTION  
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the  
instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:  
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators,  
and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy  
objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over,  
or roll anything over it.  
• (For instruments with a key cover) Take care that the key cover does not  
pinch your fingers, and do not insert a finger or hand in the key cover gap.  
• (For instruments with a key cover) Never insert or drop paper or metallic or  
other objects between the slits of the key cover and the keyboard. If this  
happens, immediately turn off the power and remove the electric plug from  
the outlet and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service  
personnel.  
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always  
hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.  
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-con-  
nector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause over-  
heating in the outlet.  
• Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/one-inch  
from the wall), since this can cause inadequate air circulation, and possi-  
bly result in the instrument overheating.  
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be  
used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.  
• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly pro-  
cess. Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might  
result in damage to the instrument or even injury.  
Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the  
power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all compo-  
nents, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of  
all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume con-  
trols while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.  
• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or un-  
comfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If  
you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physi-  
cian.  
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme  
cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the  
day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the inter-  
nal components.  
USING THE BENCH (if included)  
• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or  
step-ladder or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury.  
• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions,  
radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect  
proper operation of the other products.  
• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the  
possibility of accident or injury.  
• (For height-adjustable benches) Do not attempt to adjust the bench height  
while sitting on the bench, since this can cause excessive force to be im-  
posed on the adjustment mechanism, possibly resulting in damage to the  
mechanism or even injury.  
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might acciden-  
tally fall over.  
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.  
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,  
solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do  
not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might  
discolor the panel or keyboard.  
• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten  
them periodically using the included tool.  
SAVING USER DATA  
• Save all data to an external device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3,  
in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or  
user operating error.  
On the CLP-880PE, gently remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth. Do not wipe  
too hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the instrument’s finish.  
• On the CLP-880PE, bumping the surface of the instrument with metal, porce-  
lain, or other hard objects can cause the finish to crack or peel. Use caution.  
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modi-  
fications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.  
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do  
not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.  
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Introduction  
Thank you for choosing a Yamaha Clavinova. Your Clavinova is a fine musical instrument 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.  
Piano-like touch response — adjustable in 4 stages — provides extensive expressive  
control and outstanding playability.  
Dual mode allows 2 voices to be played simultaneously.  
Split mode (CLP-880/860) allows different voices to be played by the left and right  
hands.  
On the CLP-880/860, damper pedal includes natural resonance effect for the piano  
voices, simulating the string and sound-board resonance of acoustic pianos.  
Metronome feature with variable tempo facilitates practice.  
2-track digital recorder lets you record and play back anything you play on the key-  
board.  
MIDI compatibility and a range of MIDI functions make the Clavinova useful in a range  
of advanced MIDI music systems.  
Built-in computer interface for direct connection to personal computers running ad-  
vanced music software.  
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.

1 AUX IN L/L+R and R Jacks  
AUX IN  
R
L/L+R  
These jacks are intended for use with an external tone generator module  
such as the Yamaha DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit. The stereo outputs from  
the external tone generator module are connected to the AUX IN L/L+R  
and R jacks, allowing the sound of the tone generator to be reproduced via  
the Clavinova’s internal sound system and speakers. A line-level mono  
source can be connected to the L/L+R jack.  
DOU-10  
The input signal from the AUX IN jacks is controlled by the Clavinovas volume  
and brilliance (CLP-880/860/840) controls. Reverb and effect (CLP-880/860/  
840) functions will have no affect.  
The input signal from the AUX IN jacks is delivered to the AUX OUT jacks.  
AUX OUT

L/L+R  
2 AUX OUT L/L+R and R Jacks  
The AUX OUT L/L+R and 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 delivered via the L/  
L+R jack so you don’t lose any of the Clavinova’s sound.  
Stereo System  
The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either  
directly or through external equipment.  
The AUX OUT jack signal is not controlled by the Clavinovas volume control.  
Use the volume control on the external audio equipment to adjust the level.  
3 PEDAL Jack  
This terminal is for connecting the pedal cord from the pedal box (refer  
to the “Keyboard Stand Assembly” on pages 48-67).  
MIDI  
OUT  
IN  
THRU  
4 MIDI IN, THRU and OUT Connectors  
The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI  
device (such as the DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit) which can be used to  
control the Clavinova. The MIDI THRU connector 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).

The Pedals  
The CLP-820 has two and other models have three foot pedals that  
S
produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the  
pedals on an acoustic piano.  
Damper (Right) Pedal ................................................................................  
CLP-880/860/840/820  
The damper pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on  
an acoustic piano. When the damper pedal is pressed notes played have  
a long sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any  
sustained notes.  
On the CLP-880/860, when GRAND PIANO, CLASSICAL PI-  
ANO, or JAZZ PIANO is selected the damper pedal also produces a  
special “resonance” that simulates the ring of the strings and the sound  
board of an acoustic piano.  
Soft pedal  
Damper pedal  
Sostenuto pedal  
The CLP-880/860 damper pedal additionally features continuous  
damping. This allows you to create shorter effects by pressing the  
damper pedal down only part of the way.  
CLP-820S  
NOTE  
On the CLP-880/860, soundboard depth and damper pedal mode (switch/  
continuous) settings can be changed using the Pedal Functions(page  
32) in the function mode.  
Damper pedal  
Sostenuto (Center) Pedal (except for CLP-820S) .....................  
Soft/Sostenuto pedal  
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto  
pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will be sustained as long as  
the pedal is held (as if the damper pedal had been pressed) but all  
subsequently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible  
to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played “staccato.”  
NOTE  
Organ and string voices will continue to sound for as long as the soste-  
nuto pedal is depressed.  
Soft (Left) Pedal...............................................................................................  
The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of  
notes played while the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect  
notes which are already playing when it is pressed.  
The left pedal can also be assigned to song start/stop operation (or  
sostenuto in the case of the CLP-820S) via the “Left Pedal Mode”  
described on page 32.

SOFT  
The SOFT setting allows maximum loudness to be produced with  
relatively light key pressure.  
FIXED (no indicator lit)  
All notes are produced at the same volume no matter how hard the  
keyboard is played.  
When the FIXED type is selected, the volume of notes played in the  
FIXED mode can be set by using the [/NO] and [+/YES] buttons  
while the [TOUCH] button is held (the current volume level appears on  
the display). The volume range is from 1 through 127. The default  
setting is 64.  
NOTE  
This setting does not change the weight of the keyboard.  
The touch sensitivity type and volume set in the FIXED mode will become  
the common setting for all voices.  
Transposition  
The Clavinovas TRANSPOSE function makes it possible to shift the pitch of  
the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of 12  
semitones (i.e. a maximum of one octave up or down). Transposingthe pitch  
of the Clavinova keyboard facilitates playing in difficult key signatures, and you  
can easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other  
instrumentalist.  
Use the [–/NO] or [+/YES] button while holding the [TRANS-

Using the Recorder  
The Clavinova features a two-track recorder that let you record what you play  
on the keyboard and then play it back. Two tracks mean that you can overdub”  
one part on top of another, using a different voice if you like. The recorder feature  
is a useful adjunct to any keyboard study program, since it lets you hear exactly  
how you sound from the listeners perspective. It can also be just plain fun.  
The recorder actually records the following data:  
Entire Song  
Tempo Time signature (beat) Reverb type (including OFF)  
Effect type (CLP-880/860/840)  
Individual Tracks  
Notes played  
Voice selection

To mute a track so that it doesn’t play back, press the corresponding track  
button so that its indicator goes out (press again to turn the track back on).  
The current measure number appears on the display during playback.  
It is possible to play along on the keyboard during playback. In this case, the  
playback voice and the voice you play on the keyboard are not the same. The  
playback voice is the voice that was set when the data was recorded. The voice  
you play on the keyboard is the voice that is selected on the panel.  
The playback volume and tempo can be adjusted by using the [MASTER VOL-  
UME] control and [TEMPO /] buttons (press both [TEMPO /] buttons  
simultaneously to recall the default tempo).  
All recorder data will be retained in memory for about one week after the power is  
turned off. If you want to keep your recorded data for longer periods, turn the power  
on for a few minutes at least once a week. It is also possible to store it to an  
external MIDI storage device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3 by using  
the Bulk Data Dump function described on page 36.  
The track indicators will not light automatically when the power is turned on even if  
the recorder contains data. It is therefore necessary to press the track buttons so  
that the corresponding green indicators light before starting RECORDER playback.  
It is also a good idea to press the track buttons to check if the tracks contain data  
before recording. If the green indicator lights when the corresponding track button  
is pressed, that track contains data which will be erased and replaced by the  
newly-recorded data.  
If the metronome is being used during playback, the metronome will automatically  
stop when playback is stopped.  
During recorder playback, the volume of a track which is turned off will always be  
0(i.e. the Piano Song Part Cancel Volumefunction page 33 only affects  
piano song playback.  
The playback data is not transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector.  
Playback cannot be started when the demo/piano song mode is engaged.

quired by using this function. Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to adjust the balance as  
required. The balance range is from 0 through 20. A setting of “10” produces equal balance  
between the two dual-mode voices. Settings below “10” increase the volume of the 2nd Voice  
in relation to the 1st Voice, and settings above “10” increase the volume of the 1st Voice in  
relation to the 2nd Voice (“1st” and “2nd” is explained on page 16). Press the [–/NO] and [+/  
YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting (different for each voice combina-  
tion).  
You can set one voice as the main voice, and another voice as a softer, mixed voice.  
F3.2: Dual Detune .......................................................................................................................................  
This function makes it possible to detune the 1st and 2nd dual-mode Voices to create a  
thicker sound. Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to set the amount of detuning as required.  
The detune range is from –10 through 10. A setting of “0” sets both voices to the same pitch.  
Settings below “0” increase the pitch of the 2nd Voice in relation to the 1st Voice, and settings  
above “0” increase the pitch of the 1st Voice in relation to the 2nd Voice (“1st” and “2nd” is  
explained on page 16). Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the  
default setting (different for each voice combination).  
F3.3: 1st Voice Octave Shift ............................................................................................................  
F3.4: 2nd Voice Octave Shift ..........................................................................................................  
Depending on which voices you combine using the dual mode, the combination may sound  
better if one of the voices is shifted up or down an octave. Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES]  
buttons to set the octave of the 1st or 2nd Voice as required (“1st” and “2nd” is explained on  
page 16). The available settings are “0” for normal pitch, “–1” to shift the pitch down one  
octave, and “1” to shift the pitch up one octave. Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simul-  
taneously to recall the default setting (different for each voice combination).

quired by using this function. Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to adjust the balance as  
required. The balance range is from 0 through 20. A setting of “10” produces equal balance  
between the two split-mode voices. Settings below “10” increase the volume of the Left Voice  
in relation to the Right Voice, and settings above “10” increase the volume of the Right Voice  
in relation to the Left Voice. Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall  
the default setting (different for each voice combination).

CLP-880/860 MIDI Functions  
A Brief Introduction to MIDI  
MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a world-  
standard communication interface that allows MIDI-compatible  
musical instruments and equipment to share musical information and  
control one another. This makes it possible to create “systems” of  
MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far greater versatility and  
control than is available with isolated instruments. For example,  
most MIDI keyboards (including the Clavinova, of course) transmit  
MIDI Cable  
MIDI OUT  
MIDI IN  
DOU-10  
Clavinova  
note and velocity (touch response) information via the MIDI OUT connector whenever a note is played on the  
keyboard. If the MIDI OUT connector is connected to the MIDI IN connector of a second keyboard (synthesizer,  
etc.) or a tone generator (essentially a synthesizer with no keyboard), the second keyboard or tone generator will  
respond precisely to notes played on the original transmitting keyboard. The result is that you can effectively  
play two instruments at once, providing thick multi-instrument sounds.  
This same type of musical information transfer is used for MIDI  
Data Being Recorded  
Playback Data  
sequence recording. A sequence recorder can be used to “record”  
MIDI data received from a Clavinova, for example. When the  
recorded data is played back, the Clavinova automatically “plays”  
the recorded performance in precise detail.

The examples given above really only scratch the surface. MIDI  
can do much, much more. The Clavinova MIDI functions allow it to  
be used in fairly sophisticated MIDI systems.

After selecting “F7Y” or “F8Y”, press the [+/YES] button to engage the MIDI function sub-  
mode, then use the FUNCTION [<] and [>] buttons to select the desired MIDI function, as listed  
below.  
NOTE  
The rear-panel HOST SELECT switch must be set to MIDIin order to use the MIDI connectors. When you use  
the TO HOST connector, set the HOST SELECT switch to the appropriate position for the type of computer you  
are using (see page 38). In this situation, all MIDI settings described below will have affect on the MIDI signal in  
and out of the TO HOST connector.  
Always use a high-quality MIDI cable to connect MIDI OUT to MIDI IN terminals. Never use MIDI cables longer  
than about 15 meters, since cables longer than this can pick up noise which can cause data errors.  
F7.1/F8.1: MIDI Transmit Channel Selection .............................................................................  
F7.2/F8.2: MIDI Receive Channel Selection................................................................................  
The MIDI system allows transmission

and reception of MIDI data on 16 differ-  
ent channels. Multiple channels have  
been implemented to allow selective  
control of certain instruments or devices  
connected in series. For example, a single

MIDI sequence recorder could be used to “play” two different instruments or tone generators. One of  
the instruments or tone generators could be set to receive only on channel 1, while the other is set to  
receive on channel 2. In this situation the first instrument or tone generator will respond only to  
channel-1 information transmitted by the sequence recorder, while the second instrument or tone  
generator will respond only to channel-2 information. This allows the sequence recorder to “play”  
two completely different parts on the receiving instruments or tone generators.

The Function Mode  
In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must  
be matched for proper data transfer. A “Multi-timbre” receive mode is also available, which allows  
simultaneous reception of different parts on all 16 MIDI channels, allowing the Clavinova to play  
multi-channel song data received from a music computer or sequencer. There’s also a “1-2” mode  
which allows simultaneous reception on channels 1 and 2.  
Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to select the desired transmit or receive channel. The  
transmit channel parameter can also be turned “OFF” if you don’t want the Clavinova to transmit  
any MIDI data. To select the multi-timbre receive mode, set the receive channel to “ALL”. Select  
“1-2” for multi-timbre reception on channels 1 and 2 only.  
Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting: transmit = “1”;  
receive = “ALL”.  
NOTE  
In the dual mode first voice data is transmitted on its set channel, and in the split mode right voice data is  
transmitted on its set channel. In the dual mode second voice data is transmitted on the next greater channel  
number of the set channel, and in the split mode left voice data is transmitted on the next greater channel  
number of the set channel. In either mode, no data is transmitted if the transmit channel is set to OFF.  
Demo/piano song data and recorder playback data are not transmitted via MIDI.  
No MIDI reception occurs when the demo/piano song mode is engaged.  
Program change and other like channel messages received will not affect the Clavinovas panel settings or  
what is being played on the keyboard.  
F7.3/F8.3: Local Control ON/OFF...........................................................................................................  
“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the  
AUX IN  
L
OUT PUT  
R
MIDI  
IN  
Clavinova keyboard controls its internal tone generator,  
allowing the internal voices to be played directly from  
the keyboard. This situation is “Local Control On”  
since the internal tone generator is controlled locally by  
its own keyboard.  
MIDI OUT  
R
L
DOU-10  
Clavinova  
Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the Clavinova keyboard does not play the  
internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT connec-  
tor when notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to  
MIDI information received via the MIDI IN connector.  
When using the DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit with the Clavinova, for example, Local Control  
should be turned OFF when recording using the DOU-10 voices only, and ON when recording the  
Clavinova voices while listening to playback of the DOU-10 voices.  
Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to turn local control “On” or “OFF”.  
Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting “On”.  
F7.4/F8.4: Program Change ON/OFF .................................................................................................  
Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an exter-  
nal keyboard or other MIDI device, causing the correspondingly numbered voice to be selected on  
the corresponding channel (the keyboard voice does not change). The Clavinova will normally also  
send a MIDI program change number whenever one of its voices is selected, causing the correspond-  
ingly numbered voice or program to be selected on the external MIDI device if the device is set up to  
receive and respond to MIDI program change numbers.  
This function makes it possible to cancel program change number reception and transmission so  
that voices can be selected on the Clavinova without affecting the external MIDI device.  
Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to turn program change transmission and reception “On” or  
“OFF”.  
Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting “On”.  
NOTE  
For information on program change numbers for each of the Clavinovas voices, refer to page 44 in the MIDI  
Data Format section.

The Function Mode  
F7.5/F8.5: Control Change ON/OFF ........................................................................................  
Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI control change data received from an  
external MIDI device or keyboard, causing the voice on the corresponding channel to be  
affected by pedal and other “control” settings received from the controlling device (the key-  
board voice is not affected). The Clavinova also transmits MIDI control change information  
when one of its pedals or other appropriate controls are operated.  
This function makes it possible to cancel control change data reception and transmission so  
that, for example, the Clavinova pedals and other controls can be operated without affecting  
an external MIDI device.  
Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to turn control change transmission and reception  
“On” or “OFF”.  
Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting “On”.  
NOTE  
For information on control changes that can be used with the Clavinova, refer to the MIDI Data  
Format on page 43.  
F7.6/F8.6: MIDI Transmit Transpose.......................................................................................  
This function allows the MIDI note data transmitted by the Clavinova to be transposed up  
or down in semitone increments by up to plus or minus 12 semitones. The pitch of the  
Clavinova itself is not affected.  
Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to set the desired amount of MIDI transmit transposi-  
tion. The range is from “–12” (down one octave) through “0” (no transposition) to “12” (up  
one octave).  
Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting “0”.  
F7.7/F8.7: Panel/Status Transmit...............................................................................................  
This function causes all the current Clavinova panel settings (selected voice, etc.) to be  
transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal. This is particularly useful if you will be recording  
performances to a MIDI sequence recorder such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3 which  
will be used to control the Clavinova on playback. By transmitting the Clavinova panel set-  
tings and recording them on the MIDI sequence recorder prior to the actual performance data,  
the Clavinova will be automatically restored to the same settings when the performance is  
played back.  
Press the [+/YES] button to transmit the panel/status data. “End” will appear on the LED  
display when the data has been successfully transmitted.  
NOTE  
See page 44 for list of the Panel Data Contentstransmitted by this function.  
Panel setting data that is transmitted to an external device can only be reloaded on a model of the  
same type. Panel setting data can also be directly transferred to or from instruments of the same  
model type.  
F7.8/F8.8: Bulk Data Dump...............................................................................................................  
This function is used to transmit all data stored in the Recorder memory to a MIDI data  
storage device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3, other sequence recorders, or MIDI  
compatible computers.  
Press the [+/YES] button to begin bulk transmission. “End” will appear on the LED  
display when the data has been successfully transmitted.  
NOTE  
Bulk data dump will not function when the recorder is in operation.  
Recorder data that is transmitted to an external device can only be reloaded on a model of the same  
type. Recorder data can also be directly transferred to or from instruments of the same model type.  
The reload operation cannot be executed when the Recorder is in operation or the Function mode is  
engaged.  
No MIDI note/panel data transmission or data reception occurs during a bulk data dump transmit operation.

POWER  
NOTE  
The factory setting list is found on page 42.  
Troubleshooting  
If you encounter what appears to be a malfunction, please check the following points before assuming  
that your Clavinova is faulty.  
1. No Sound When the Power is Turned ON  
Is the AC plug properly connected to the Clavinova  
and an AC wall outlet? Check the AC connection  
carefully. Is the MASTER VOLUME control turned  
up to a reasonable listening level?  
4. Intermittent Static Noise  
This is usually due to turning ON or OFF a house-  
hold appliance or other electronic equipment which  
is fed by the same AC mains line as your Clavinova.  
5. Interference Appears On Radio or TV Sets  
Located Near the Clavinova  
Also make sure that a pair of headphones is not  
plugged into the PHONES jack, and that the Local  
Control (page 35) is ON.  
The Clavinova contains digital circuitry which can  
generate radio-frequency noise. The solution is to  
move the Clavinova further away from the affected  
equipment, or vice versa.  
2. The Damper Pedal Doesnt Work  
If the damper pedal doesn’t work, or notes are  
sustained even when the pedal is not pressed, make  
sure that the pedal cord is properly plugged into the  
main unit (page 66: CLP-820S, page 60: CLP-860/  
840/820, page 52: CLP-880).  
6. Distorted Sound When the Clavinova is  
Connected to An External Amplifier/Speaker  
System  
If the Clavinova is connected to a stereo system or  
instrument amplifier and the sound is distorted,
