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.  
● AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generator sys-  
● Full-keyboard ABC (Auto Bass Chord) provides ac-  
companiment as you play across the entire  
keyboard.  
tem offers a range of 60 rich, realistic voices.  
● A maximum of 32-note polyphony permits use of so-  
phisticated playing techniques.  
● 24 Solo Styleplay variations make it simple to pro-  
duce rich, complex harmonies.  
● Piano-like touch response provides extensive expres-  
sive control and outstanding playability.  
● Performance memory (2-track + ABC + Rhythm)  
records and plays back your keyboard performances.  
● Dual and split play modes allow 2 voices to be played  
simultaneously or individually with the left and right  
hands.  
● MIDI compatibility, GM voices, and a range of MIDI  
functions make the Clavinova useful in a range of  
advanced MIDI music systems.  
● 24 exciting accompaniment styles can be used to  
provide rhythm-only accompaniment or fully-orches-  
trated rhythm, bass, and chord accompaniment.  
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 ofYour Clavinova  
Your Clavinova will give you years of playing pleasure if you observe the simple rules given below:  
1. Avoid Humidity & Heat  
7. Electric Interference  
Avoid placing the Clavinova in areas that are subject to ex-  
cessive humidity or heat. Do not leave the instrument near  
heaters or in a car exposed to direct sunlight, for example.  
Since the Clavinova contains digital circuitry, it may cause  
interference if placed too close to radio or television receiv-  
ers. If this occurs, move the instrument further away from the  
affected equipment.  
2. Avoid Dust & Moisture  
8. Check Your Power Supply  
Avoid locations in which the instrument is likely to be exposed  
to excessive dust or moisture.  
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 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” screw-  
driver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage  
appears next to the pointer on the panel.  
3. Power-off Before Connecting  
Connections between the Clavinova and any other device  
must be made with both pieces of equipment turned off.  
4. Handle With Care  
Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or  
other parts of your Clavinova, and avoid scratching or bump-  
ing it with hard objects. Further, always turn the POWER  
switch off after use, and cover the instrument with the dust  
cover provided.  
9. Name Plate Location  
The Clavinova name plate, including the unit’s serial number,  
is located on the bottom panel of the main unit.  
5. 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 use abrasive cleansers, waxes, solvents or  
chemical dust cloths since these can dull or damage the  
finish.  
6. 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!

Preparation  
● 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 corresponding 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 properly inserted into a  
convenient AC wall outlet (a power-plug adaptor may be provided in some  
areas), 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 “78” will appear on the  
TEMPO display.  
POWER  
● Headphones  
A 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 the PHONES jack.

● Master Volume ........................................................................................................................................  
The MASTER VOLUME control adjusts the overall volume of sound produced  
MASTER VOLUME  
by the Clavinova. It also adjusts headphone volume when a pair of headphones is  
MAX  
plugged into the PHONES jack.  
Initially set the MASTER VOLUME control about half way between the  
“MIN” and “MAX” settings. Then, when you start playing, adjust the control for  
MIN  
the most comfortable listening level.  
● Auto Accompaniment ............................................................................................................................  
Separate volume controls are provided for the RHYTHM, CHORD 1,  
AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT  
CHORD 2, and BASS sound. These volume controls let you set up the best balance  
MAX  
between the various accompaniment parts when the AUTO BASS CHORD (ABC)  
and Performance Memory features are used, and the RHYTHM volume control  
can be used to balance the keyboard and rhythm sound when only rhythm accompa-  
MIN  
niment is used.  
RHYTHM BASS CHORD 1 CHORD 2  
The volume of the keyboard can be independently adjusted by using the BASS  
control while holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button — this is particularly  
MIDI/  
TRANSPOSE  
handy for adjusting the balance when recording the Clavinova sound.  
BASS  
● Additional Volume Control Mode (Reverb Depth)  
Using the “Auto Accompaniment Volume Mode” utility function (page 29), the  
Auto-Accompaniment volume controls can be assigned to control individual  
reverb depths for the rhythm, bass, chord 1, and chord 2 parts.  
• If any or all of the Auto Accompaniment volume controls are set to their minimum  
positions, no sound will be produced by the corresponding parts. The maximum  
control positions produce the normal volume levels.  
NOTES  
The Internal Amplifier &  
Speaker System  
The CVP-49 features a powerful stereo amplifier delivering 30 watts per channel to a high-  
performance speaker system that puts out exceptionally rich sound with natural response  
from powerful lows to shimmering highs. The CVP-49 speaker systems employ two 13-  
centimeter speaker units for low-to-midrange reproduction, and two 5-centimeter speaker  
units for outstanding high-frequency sound.

To engage the DUAL mode simply press two voice selectors at the same time —  
or press one voice selector while holding another. A voice in the 13…60 range can  
be “dualed” with the panel voices by pressing the [VOICE 13-60] button and any  
other voice selector at the same time (two voices in the 13…60 range cannot be  
combined). The [s] and [t] buttons can then be used to select the desired 13…60  
voice. The higher voice number will appear on the TEMPO display during selec-  
tion.

When the [SPLIT] button is pressed and its indicator lights, the keyboard is  
split into left- and right-hand sections and different voices can be assigned to each.  
The split point is initially set at the F#2 key when the power is turned on, and the  
UPRIGHT BASS voice is initially assigned to the left-hand section of the keyboard  
(all keys up to and including F#2). The voice that was selected when the SPLIT  
mode was engaged is assigned to the right-hand section of the keyboard. The cur-  
rent settings are retained if the SPLIT mode is turned off (press the [SPLIT] but-  
ton again) and on while the power remains on.

The Keyboard & Polyphony  
The Clavinova has “32-note polyphony” which  
means you can normally play up to 32 notes at once.  
This number varies, however, according to the func-  
tions being used, as shown in the chart below:  
Keyboard only  
32 notes.  
Keyboard only (dual)  
Keyboard + rhythm  
Keyboard (dual) + rhythm  
Keyboard + ABC  
16 notes.  
24 notes (rhythm uses 8).  
12 notes  
12 notes (rhythm 8; ABC 12).  
6 notes  
Keyboard (dual) + ABC  
● The number of available notes is further reduced if the dual  
mode or the performance memory is being played at the  
same time. Further variation occurs with “1-layer” and “2-  
layer” voices: the polyphony is halved with 2-layer voices.  
The follwing voices are 2-layer:  
• No. 31 SYNTH WOOD  
• No. 56 JAZZ ORGAN 2  
• No. 58 COSMIC 1  
• No. 60 COSMIC 3  
The Clavinova also offers keyboard touch response, so the  
volume and timbre of notes played can be controlled ac-  
cording to how “hard” you play the keys. The amount of  
variation available depends on the selected voice.  
Pan  
● The pan (stereo) position of the voice played on the key-  
board can be adjusted by moving the RHYTHM volume  
control while holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.  
The pan position is shown on the TEMPO display, from  
“PL6” for full left at the “MIN” control position, through  
“P c ” for center, to “Pr6” for full right at the “MAX”  
control position. This can be used to produce a broader en-  
semble sound with the Performance Memory multitrack  
recording feature.  
MIDI/  
TRANSPOSE  
RHYTHM  
The pan settings are as follows:  
Each voice has a preset pan setting (indicated by “P d ” on  
the TEMPO display) which is automatically set when the  
power is first turned on.  
PL6  
PL5  
PL4 PL3 PL2  
PL1 P c (P d) Pr1 Pr2  
Pr3  
Pr4  
Pr5  
Pr6  
Full

Center

NOTES  
• The “P d ” keyboard scale pan default for some voices places the treble-  
register sound to the right and the bass-register sound to the left. Using  
a different PAN setting places the entire voice, low and high notes in-  
cluded, at the same position.  
• The DRUMS voice has a preset PAN setting which cannot be changed.

● Right Pedal (Damper Pedal)  
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. Releas-  
ing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.  
● Left Pedal (Multi-function)  
The left pedal has a number of functions which can be selected using the  
[LEFT PEDAL FUNCTION] button and indicators. Each time the [LEFT  
PEDAL FUNCTION] button is pressed the next function on the LEFT PEDAL  
function “list” is selected and the corresponding indicator will light.

SOLO STYLEPLAY  
● Soft...........................................................................................................................................................  
Pressing the soft pedal subtly reduces the volume and slightly changes the tim-  
bre of notes played. The SOFT function is automatically selected whenever the  
POWER switch is turned on.  
● Sostenuto ................................................................................................................................................  
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.”  
The left-pedal SOSTENUTO function cannot be selected while the SOLO  
STYLEPLAY feature is operating.  
● Start/Stop ................................................................................................................................................  
The left pedal performs the same function as the panel [START/STOP] buttons.  
For details on the START/STOP function, refer to the “Accompaniment” section  
on page 18, 19.  
● Solo Styleplay .........................................................................................................................................  
For details on the SOLO STYLEPLAY function see “SOLO STYLEPLAY” on  
page 23 (the SOLO STYLEPLAY pedal function can only be selected when the  
SOLO STYLEPLAY feature is in use).  
• The damper, soft, and sostenuto pedal functions do not affect the DRUMS voice.

Transposition  
The Clavinova’s TRANSPOSE function makes it  
possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or  
down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of six  
semitones. “Transposing” the pitch of the Clavinova  
keyboard makes it easier to play in difficult key signa-  
tures, and you can simply match the pitch of the key-  
board to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist.

Pitch Control  
Pitch control makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over a ±50-cent range (approximate) in  
approximately 1.2-cent or 1-hertz intervals. A hundred “cents” equals one semitone, so the tun-  
ing range provided allows fine tuning of overall pitch over a range of approximately a semitone.  
Pitch control is useful for tuning the Clavinova to match other instruments or recorded music.  
● Tuning Up................................................................................................................................................  
ZTo tune up (raise pitch), hold the E0 and F0 keys simultaneously (E0 and F0 are  
E

B3. Each time a key in this range is pressed the pitch is raised by approximately  
1.2 cents, up to a maximum of about 50 cents above standard pitch. To raise the  
pitch in 1-hertz increments press the TEMPO [●] button instead of the C3-B3  
keys. The TEMPO [●] button can also be used to tune down while the E0 and  
F0 keys are held.

You can change the tempo to any value between 32 and 280 beats per minute,  
however, by using the TEMPO [●] and [●] buttons. This can be done either be-  
fore the accompaniment is started or while it is playing. Press either button briefly  
to decrement or increment the tempo value by one, or hold the button for continu-  
ous decrementing or incrementing.

Accompaniment  
● Starting the Accompaniment  
There are several ways to start the accompaniment:  
• If any Performance Memory track button’s green indicator (i.e. [1], [2], [ABC] or [RHYTHM]  
NOTES  
buttons) is lit, the following start procedure will start playback of the Performance Memory  
data. To start playback of the panel accompaniment, press the corresponding track but-  
tons so their green indicators go out.  
However, the panel accompaniment will be played back instead of the [RHYTHM] track  
data, even if any Performance Memory track button’s green indicator (i.e. [1], [2], [ABC] or  
[RHYTHM] buttons) is lit, under the following conditions:  
* if any of the panel STYLE selectors have been pressed to re-select the style, or  
* if the start procedure is executed by the Intro or Fill start (both direct and Synchro) —  
see below.  
● Straight Start...........................................................................................................................................  
Press the [START/STOP] button.  
START/STOP  
Each of the styles also has a variation that can be selected by pressing the [VARIA-  
TION/FILL TO VARIATION] button (its LED will light) before pressing the [START/  
STOP] button. Normally the [NORMAL/FILL TO NORMAL] button LED will be lit (or  
you can select it if the variation is selected), indicating that the normal pattern is selected.

● Synchronized Start.................................................................................................................................  
Any of the start types described above can be synchronized to the first note or chord  
played on the keyboard by first pressing the [SYNCHRO START] button so that its indi-

cator lights. When the keyboard is split or Auto Bass Chord Single Finger or Fingered  
mode is used, the first note played on the left-hand section of the keyboard will start the  
accompaniment (i.e. keys to the left of and including the split-point key — normally F#2).  
Once the synchronized start mode has been selected, use the [NORMAL/FILL TO NOR-  
MAL], [VARIATION/FILL TO VARIATION] and/or [INTRO/ENDING] buttons to  
select the type of start you want.  
The first dot of the BEAT display will flash at the current tempo when a synchronized  
start mode has been selected.

● Fill-ins  
The CVP-49 provides two types of automatic “fill-ins.”  
NORMAL  
VARIATION  
● Fill To Normal: Press the [NORMAL/FILL TO NORMAL] button during  
playback to produce a fill-in and go to the normal rhythm.  
● Fill To Variation: Press the [VARIATION/FILL TO VARIATION] button  
FILL TO NORMAL FILL TO VARIATION  
during playback to produce a fill-in and go to the variation pattern.  
If you hold one of the FILL buttons, the fill-in will repeat until the end of the  
measure in which button is released.  
● Stopping the Accompaniment  
The accompaniment can be stopped at any time by pressing the [START/  
STOP] button. Press the [INTRO/ENDING] button if you want to go to the ending  
START/STOP  
INTRO/ENDING  
pattern and then stop.  
• If you started with an intro or fill-in, or using the SYNCHRO mode, these selec-  
NOTES  
tions are maintained even after the accompaniment is stopped.  
• If the left pedal is switched to START/STOP operation, it performs the same  
function as the panel [START/STOP] buttons (press to START, press again to  
STOP).  
● Metronome  
The CVP-49 also offers a metronome function that is ideal for practice.  
To start the metronome, simply press the [METRONOME] button. The metro-  
nome will play at the currently selected tempo whether a style is playing or not.  
The metronome volume can be adjusted via the RHYTHM volume control.  
Press the [METRONOME] button again to stop the metronome sound. The  
metronome will also stop automatically if the [START/STOP] button is pressed to  
stop a style in progress.  
METRONOME  
• The metronome will not normally sound when a style is playing. If the style is  
started by pressing the [START/STOP] button while the metronome is playing,  
however, the metronome will continue to sound along with the style.

● Single-finger Accompaniment  
SINGLE FINGER accompaniment makes it simple to produce accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-  
seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys in the ABC section of the keyboard. The automatic accompaniment  
consists of rhythm, bass and chords.  
ZSelect SINGLE FINGER ..........................................................................................................................  
SINGLE  
Press the [SINGLE FINGER] button to select the SINGLE FINGER mode  
FINGER  
(the SINGLE FINGER indicator will light).  
XSelect a Style ..........................................................................................................................................  
Select the desired accompaniment using the style selectors (see “Style Selec-  
tion” on page 17).  
CSet the Tempo.........................................................................................................................................  
Use the TEMPO [●] and [●] buttons to set the desired accompaniment tempo  
if necessary (see “Tempo Control” on page 17).  
VPlay ..........................................................................................................................................................  
Pressing any key on the ABC section of the keyboard (up to the split point —  
normally the F#2 key) will cause the automatic chord and bass accompaniment to  
begin (synchro start is automatically selected in the ABC mode). If you press a “C”  
key, for example, a C-major accompaniment will be played. Press another key in  
the ABC section of the keyboard to select a new chord. The key you press will al-  
C
ways determine the “root” of the chord played (i.e. “C” for a C chord) .

Auto Bass Chord (ABC)  
● Fingered Accompaniment  
The FINGERED mode is ideal if you already know how to play chords on a keyboard, since it allows you to supply  
your own chords for the Auto Accompaniment feature.  
ZSelect FINGERED ...................................................................................................................................  
Press the [FINGERED] button to select the FINGERED mode (the FIN-  
FINGERED  
GERED indicator will light).  
XSelect a Style ..........................................................................................................................................  
Select an accompaniment style using the style selectors (see “Style Selection”  
on page 17).  
CSet the Tempo.........................................................................................................................................  
Use the TEMPO [●] and [●] buttons to set the desired accompaniment tempo  
if necessary (see “Tempo Control” on page 17 for more details).  
VPlay ..........................................................................................................................................................  
As soon as you play any chord (up to 4 notes) on the lower keyboard (up to the  
split point — normally the F#2 key), the Clavinova will automatically begin to play  
the chord along with the selected rhythm and an appropriate bass line (synchro start  
is automatically selected in the ABC mode).  
The Clavinova will accept the following chord 20 types:  
• Major [M]  
• Major flatted fifth [b5]  
• Minor [m]  
• Seventh flatted fifth [7b5]  
• Major seventh flatted fifth [M7b5]  
• Seventh suspended fourth [7sus4]  
• Suspended fourth [sus4]  
• Augmented [aug]  
• Major seventh [M7]  
• Sixth [6]  
• Seventh [7]  
• Minor sixth [m6]  
• Minor seventh [m7]  
• Minor major seventh [mM7]  
NOTES  
• Seventh sharp fifth [7#5]  
• Major seventh sharp fifth [M7#5]  
• The automatic accompaniment will sometimes not  
change when related chords are played in sequence  
(e.g. some minor chords followed by the minor  
seventh).  
• Minor seventh flatted fifth [m7b5] • Diminished [dim]  
• Minor flatted fifth [mb5]  
• Half diminished  
(minor major seventh flatted fifth) [mM7b5]  
● The [INTRO/ENDING], [NORMAL/FILL TO NORMAL], and [VARIA-  
TION/FILL TO VARIATION] buttons can be used in the ABC mode to create  
pattern variations in the same way that they are used with rhythm patterns (refer  
to the “Accompaniment” section on page 18, 19 for details).

Auto Bass Chord (ABC)  
● Full-keyboard ABC  
When this advanced auto-accompaniment mode is engaged (press the [FULL  
KEYBOARD] button so that its indicator lights) the Clavinova will automatically  
create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on  
the keyboard: chords, a bass line, arpeggiated chords, a melody line. You don’t have  
to worry about specifying the accompaniment chords. Although Full-keyboard  
ABC is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable  
for use with this feature. Try playing a few simple songs in the Full-keyboard ABC  
mode to get a feel for its capabilities.

• Chord detection occurs at approximately 8th-note intervals. Extremely short  
chords — less than an 8th note in length — may therefore not be detected.  
NOTES  
The Conventional Full-keyboard ABC mode can be engaged by pressing the  
[SINGLE FINGER] and [FINGERED] buttons simultaneously (both indicators  
will light). In this mode the split point is de-activated and notes played anywhere  
on the keyboard are detected and used to determine the harmonization of the ac-  
companiment. In the Conventional Full-keyboard ABC mode, chord detection is  
possible when at least three notes are played anywhere on the keyboard.

• Solo Styleplay will automatically be turned off whenever the Full-keyboard or  
Conventional Full-keyboard ABC mode is engaged.  
• Press the [FULL KEYBOARD] button so that its indicator goes out when you want  
to exit from the FULL-KEYBOARD ABC mode. To exit from the Conventional  
Full-keyboard ABC mode press the [SINGLE FINGER] or [FINGERED] button  
twice.  
● Volume Control  
AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT  
The RHYTHM, CHORD 1, CHORD 2, and BASS volume controls can be  
used to adjust the volume of the corresponding accompaniment parts when using  
ABC. In general, CHORD 1 controls rhythmic chords while CHORD 2 controls  
more decorative chords (arpeggios, etc.). The volume of the keyboard can be inde-  
pendently controlled by using the BASS volume control while holding the [MIDI/  
TRANSPOSE] button.

• Usually the CHORD 1 and CHORD 2 parts will not play simultaneously in the  
Full-keyboard ABC mode to prevent possible conflict with the melody. The sound  
of the silent part can be restored by changing the setting of the corresponding  
volume control — CHORD 1 or CHORD 2.

The ABC split point can be set at any key by pressing the desired key while  
holding the [SINGLE FINGER] or [FINGERED] button.

power is initially turned on.

Individual tracks — except the rhythm track — can be completely erased by starting and  
stopping recording without actually playing or changing any parameters (i.e. press the  
[START/STOP] button twice). The same procedure can be used to erase the rhythm track if  
the RHYTHM volume control is set to its minimum position.  
Another way to erase data in individual tracks is to stop recording within two beats of start-  
ing. In this case, any recorded data will be ignored and any previous data will be erased for  
the selected track.  
• All data in all tracks can be simultaneously erased by turning the power on while holding the  
NOTES  
rightmost (G6) key on the keyboard.  
● Playback  
Start playback by pressing either the PERFORMANCE MEMORY [START/STOP] button  
or the ABC [START/STOP] button. The song will play through to the end and playback will  
stop automatically. The current measure number will be shown on the TEMPO display during  
playback.  
START/STOP  
Playback can be stopped at any time by pressing the PERFORMANCE MEMORY or ABC  
[START/STOP] button.  
• The playback voice cannot be changed when playing back Performance Memory data (the voice  
NOTES  
played via the keyboard can be changed).  
• All Performance Memory 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 DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit by using the Performance Memory Data Send  
function described on page 34.  
• The track indicators will not light automatically when the power is turned on even if the Perform-  
ance Memory contains data. It is therefore necessary to press the track buttons so that the corre-  
sponding green indicators light before starting Performance Memory playback. It is also a good  
idea to press the track buttons to check if the tracks contain data before recording (do this before  
pressing the [REC] button). 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 green indicator of the data-containing track is not lit (i.e. playback is turned off) before the  
record ready mode is engaged, the track will remain off even after the record ready mode is  
engaged. The data-containing track indicator is automatically lit only when the record ready  
mode is engaged for the first time after the power is turned on (before any track buttons are  
pressed).  
• If the metronome is being used during playback, the metronome will stop when playback is  
stopped.  
● Playing Back only Specific Parts  
1
2
ABC  
RHYTHM  
The [1], [2], [ABC], and [RHYTHM] buttons can be used to select playback of specific  
parts. When a part is on, the corresponding green indicator lights.  
● Volume Control  
The RHYTHM, BASS, CHORD 1, and CHORD 2 volume controls can be used to adjust  
the volume of the corresponding accompaniment parts when playng back data that was  
recorded with ABC.  
When playing back data that was recorded without ABC, however, these volume controls  
have the following track assignments.  
RHYTHM: RHYTHM track  
BASS:  
No assignment  
CHORD 1: No assignment  
CHORD 2: 1 & 2 tracks

U1:Touch Sensitivity  
The Clavinova can be set to one of three different types of keyboard touch sensitivity to match different playing  
styles and preferences.  
1: Soft. Allows maximum loudness to be produced with relatively light key pressure.  
2: Medium. Produces a fairly “standard” keyboard response.  
3: Hard. Requires the keys to be played quite hard to produce maximum loudness.  
• The MEDIUM setting (2) is automatically selected whenever the POWER switch is turned  
NOTES  
on.  
U2: Accompaniment Volume Mode  
Normally the Auto Accompaniment volume controls are used to adjust the volume of the Rhythm, Chord 1, Chord 2,  
and Bass accompaniment parts, as labelled on the Clavinova panel. This function can be used to assign these volume  
controls to other operations.  
1: Volume for the Rhythm, Chord 1, Chord 2, and Bass tracks. This applies when playing with  
the ABC mode engaged or when playing back performance memory data that was recorded  
with ABC. When playing back performance memory data that was recorded without ABC,  
the Chord 2 control corresponds to tracks 1 and 2, the Chord 1 and Bass controls are not  
assigned.  
2: Reverb depth for the Rhythm, Chord 1, Chord 2, and Bass tracks. This applies when playing  
with the ABC mode engaged or when playing back performance memory data that was  
recorded with ABC. When playing back performance memory data that was recorded with-  
out ABC, the Chord 2 control corresponds to tracks 1 and 2, the Chord 1 and Bass controls  
are not assigned.  
• The Rhythm, Chord 1, Chord 2, and Bass volume setting (1) is automatically selected when-

MIDI Functions  
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.  
The Clavinova has 13 MIDI functions that are accessed by pressing the appropriate VOICE selector while  
holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. The MIDI functions accessed by the various VOICE selectors are  
shown in the following chart:

The available settings and procedure for each MIDI function are described below.  
• 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.  
NOTES  
• When using the Clavinova with other MIDI equipment, always refer to the MIDI  
specifications (implementation chart and MIDI data format) of the equipment used  
to ensure compatibility.  
● Send and Receive Channel Select  
In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for  
proper data transfer (there are 16 MIDI channels). An “OMNI” receive mode is also available, which allows reception on  
all 16 MIDI channels. In the OMNI mode it is not necessary to match the receive channel of the receiving device to the  
transmit channel of the transmitting device.  
ZHold [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] and press [PIANO] to set the send channel or  
[CLAVINOVA TONE] to set the receive channel.

MIDI Functions  
● Local Control ON/OFF  
MIDI OUT  
MIDI IN  
“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the Clavinova keyboard con-  
trols 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 Sequencer  
Tone Generator  
Played from Clavinova  
keyboard.  
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 transmit-  
ted via the MIDI OUT connector 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. This means that while an external MIDI sequencer, for  
example, plays the Clavinova’s internal voices, an external tone generator can be  
played from the Clavinova keyboard. Local Control is automatically turned ON  
when the power is initially turned on.

● Program Change ON/OFF  
Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an external keyboard or other  
MIDI device, causing the correspondingly numbered Clavinova voice to be selected. The Clavinova will normally also  
send a MIDI program change number whenever one of its voices is selected, causing the correspondingly numbered  
voice or program to be selected on the external MIDI device if the device is set up to receive and respond to MIDI pro-  
gram 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, and vice versa. Program Change is automatically  
turned on when the power is initially turned on.

● Control Change ON/OFF  
Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI control change data received from an external MIDI device or key-  
board, causing the selected Clavinova voice to be affected by pedal and other “control” settings received from the con-  
trolling device. The Clavinova also transmits MIDI control change information when either of its pedals are operated.  
This function makes it possible to cancel control change data reception and transmission if you do not want the  
Clavinova voices to be affected by control change data received from an external device or vice versa. Control Change is  
automatically turned on when the power is initially turned on.

MIDI Functions  
● The Multi-Timbre Mode  
The Multi-Timbre mode is a special mode in which the Clavinova voices can be independently controlled on differ-  
ent MIDI channel numbers (1 through 15) by an external MIDI device. The Multi-Timbre mode is off when the power is  
initially turned on.  
The Multi-Timbre mode can be activated as follows:  
GUITAR  
ZHold [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] and press [GUITAR].  
= Multi-Timbre mode ON.  
GUITAR  
XRelease [MIDI/TRANSPOSE].  
= Multi-Timbre mode OFF.  
In this mode MIDI program change numbers received by the Clavinova select  
the corresponding Clavinova voices — i.e. the same voices selected by the panel  
controls. The Clavinova Common Voice Mode described on page 33 also allows  
multi-timbre control of the Clavinova, but with different voice assignments.  
● Rhythm Instrument Note Assignments

NOTES  
● The Split Send Mode  
In the split send mode notes played on the left-hand section of the keyboard (to the left of and including the split  
point key — see “Changing the Split Point” on page 10) are transmitted on MIDI channel 2, while the upper keyboard  
section transmits on the MIDI channel set using the Send Channel Select function described earlier. In this mode the  
left- and right-hand sections of the keyboard can be used to play separate external keyboards or tone generators set to  
receive on the appropriate channels. The Split Send Mode is automatically turned off when the power is initially turned  
on.

MIDI Functions  
● MIDI Clock Select  
This function determines whether the Clavinova’s rhythm and ABC timing is controlled by the Clavinova’s own in-  
ternal clock or an external MIDI clock signal received from external equipment connected to the MIDI IN connector.  
The Clock Mode is automatically set to INTERNAL when the power is initially turned on.  
ORGAN  
ZHold [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] and press the [ORGAN].

= INTERNAL.  
• If the Clock Mode is set to EXTERNAL and a MIDI clock signal is not being received  
NOTES  
from an external source, the rhythm, ABC and other clock-dependent features will not  
operate.  
● Panel Data Send  
This function causes all the current Clavinova panel settings (selected voice, etc) to be transmitted via the MIDI OUT  
connector. This is particularly useful if you will be recording performances to a MIDI sequence recorder which will be  
used to control the Clavinova on playback. By transmitting the Clavinova panel settings 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.  
ZHold [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] and press [CHOIR].  
XRelease [MIDI/TRANSPOSE].  
● MIDI Transpose Transmit  
This function transposes the pitch of transmitted MIDI note data up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum  
of six semitones. The pitch of notes played on the keyboard is not affected.

MIDI Functions  
● GM Multi-Timbre Mode  
The GM Multi-Timbre mode is a special mode in which the Clavinova voices can be independently controlled on  
different MIDI channel numbers (1 through 16) by an external MIDI device. Also, MIDI program change numbers re-  
ceived on all channels are converted to GM system level 1 voice allocation numbers. With the GM Multi-Timbre mode  
switched on, you can select any voice from numbers 1 to 128 which are set to the GM voice allocation.  
The GM Multi-Timbre mode can be activated as follows:

The Connectors  
Although the Clavinova is a self-contained musical instrument that simply be  
plugged into the AC mains outlet and played, it also features a number of connec-  
tors for system expansion.  
● AUX IN L/L+R and R Jacks ....................................................................................................................  
AUX IN  
R
L/L+R  
These jacks are intended primarily for use with external synthesizers or tone  
generator modules.  
For example, the outputs of the synthesizer/tone generator can be to the  
Clavinova AUX IN jacks, allowing the sound of the synthesizer/tone generator to  
be reproduced via the Clavinova’s internal amplifier and speaker system. For mon-  
aural signal input (when the connected device is monaural), use only the L/L+R  
jack.  
Tone Generator  
• The input signal from the AUX IN jacks is delivered to the AUX OUT jacks, but is  
not affected by the Clavinova’s volume control or reverb effect.  
NOTES  
● AUX OUT L/L+R and R Jacks ................................................................................................................  
AUX OUT  
The AUX OUT L/L+R and R jacks deliver the output of the Clavinova for con-  
R
L/L+R  
nection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA system, or recording equip-  
ment. 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.  
• The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either  
CAUTION

Stereo System  
● MIDI IN and OUT Connectors ................................................................................................................  
MIDI  
The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device  
IN  
OUT  
(such as a synthesizer, sequencer, music computer, etc.) which can be used to con-  
trol the Clavinova. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by  
the Clavinova (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the Clavinova key-  
board).  
More details on MIDI are given in “MIDI Functions” on page 30.

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 Clavonova and an AC wall outlet? Check the AC connection carefully. Is the  
MASTER VOLUME control turned up to a reasonable listening level?  
2. No Rhythm, ABC, or Performance Memory Sound  
Check the Auto Accompaniment volume control settings. No sound is produced if these are set to their minimum  
positions.  
3. The Clavinova Reproduces Radio or TV Sound  
This can occur if there is a high-power transmitter in your vicinity. Contact your Yamaha dealer.  
4. Intermittent Static Noise  
This is usually due to turning on or off a household 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  
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.  
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, reduce the setting  
of the Clavinova volume control to a level at which the distortion ceases.  
Options  
● BC-7 Bench  
A stable, comfortable bench styled to match your Yamaha Clavinova.  
● HPE-160 Stereo Headphones  
High-performance lightweight dynamic headphones with extra-soft ear pads.  
● KC-761 Key Cover  
A convenient way to keep your keyboard clean and dust-free.

Before connecting the AC power cord, check the setting  
of the voltage selector which is provided in some areas. To  
set the selector for 110V, 127V, 220V or 240V main  
voltages, use a “minus” screwdriver to rotate the selector dial  
so that the correct voltage for your region appears next to the  
pointer on the panel. The voltage selector is set at 240V  
when the unit is initially shipped.  
After the proper voltage has been selected connect the AC  
power cord. A plug adaptor may be also provided in some  
areas to match the pin configuration of the AC wall outlets in  
your area.  
Bevor Sie nun das Netzkabel anschließen, müssen Sie den  
Spannungswähler (falls vorhanden) auf die örtliche  
Netzspannung einstellen. Zum Verstellen drehen Sie den  
Spannungswähler mit einem Schlitzschraubendreher, bis der  
richtige Spannungswert (110, 127, 220 oder 240) an der  
Pfeilmarkierung steht. Bei der Auslieferung werden alle  
Instrumente mit Spannungswähler auf “240” voreingestellt.  
Nachdem Sie den Spannungswähler richtig eingestellt  
haben, können Sie nun das Netzkabel anschließen. In  
manchen Gebieten wird ein Steckerdapter mitgeliefert, um  
den Anschluß an die evtl. unterschiedlich geformte  
Steckdose zu ermöglichen.  
MSet the adjuster.  
MDie Pedalstützen einstellen.  
For stability, two adjusters are provided on the bottom of  
the pedal assembly (D). Rotate the adjusters until they come  
in firm contact with the floor surface. The adjusters ensure  
stable pedal operation and facilitate pedal effect control. If  
the adjusters are not in firm contact with the floor surface,  
distorted sound may result.  
Für bessere Standfestigkeit sind unter dem Pedalkasten  
(D) zwei verstellbare Pedalstützen vorgesehen. Nachdem Sie  
das Clavinova an seinem festen Standplatz aufgestellt haben,  
drehen Sie diese Stützen heraus, bis sie fest auf dem Boden  
stehen. Die Stützen sorgen beim Spielen für präzise  
Pedalbetätigung. Wenn die beiden Pedalstützen nicht fest auf  
dem Boden aufstehen, können Klangverzerrungen auftreten.  
• After assembling the Clavinova, check once more to make sure that  
all screws have been securely fastened.  
• Vergewissern Sie sich nach Zusammenbau und Aufstellung des  
Clavinova noch einmal davon, daß alle Schrauben fest angezogen  
sind.  
• If the stand leans to the side, makes unusual noises, or otherwise  
seems unstable during use, check and tighten all screws while follow-  
ing the assembly instructions given above.  
• Wenn das Instrument schief steht, komische Geräusche erzeugt oder  
sich beim Spielen wackelig anfühlt, prüfen Sie gemäß den obigen  
Anweisungen, ob das Instrument richtig zusammengebaut wurde, und  
ziehen dabei die einzelnen Schrauben noch einmal nach.

NSélecteur de tension  
NSelector de tensión  
Avant de connecter le cordon d’alimentation, vérifiez le  
réglage du sélecteur de tension qui est prévu pour certaines  
régions. Pour régler le sélecteur sur 110 V, 127 V, 220 V ou  
240 V, utilisez un tournevis à lame plate pour tourner le  
cadran du sélecteur afin de mettre l’indication correspondant  
à la tension de votre région vis à vis du repère triangulaire  
situé sur le panneau. Le sélecteur de tension est réglé sur 240  
V au départ d’usine.  
Antes de conectar el cable de alimentación de CA,  
compruebe el ajuste del selector de tensión que se incorpora  
para ciertos destinos. Para ajustar el selector a 110V, 127V,  
220V ó 240V de la red de alimentación, emplee un  
destornillador de cabeza recta “–” para girar el selector de  
modo que la tensión correcta de su zona aparezca al lado del  
indicador del panel. El selector de tensión se ajusta a 240V  
cuando la unidad sale de fábrica.  
Une fois que vous avez réglé le sélecteur de tension,  
connectez le cordon d’alimentation. Un adaptateur de prise  
peut également être fourni dans certaines régions pour  
pouvoir brancher le cordon à la prise secteur murale.  
Después de haber seleccionado la tensión correcta,  
enchufe el cable de alimentación. En algunas zonas puede  
suministrarse también un adaptador para adaptar la  
configuración de las patillas de los tomacorrientes de CA de  
su localidad.  
MN’oubliez pas de régler la hauteur du pédalier.  
Pour assurer la stabilité, deux dispositifs de réglage ont  
été prévus à la partie inférieure du pédalier (D). Tournez ces  
dispositifs jusqu’à ce qu’ils soient en contact ferme avec la  
surface du sol. Ces dispositifs assurent la stabilité du  
pédalier lors de son utilisation et facilitent la commande au  
pied des effets. Si ces dispositifs ne sont pas en contact  
ferme avec le sol, il pourra se produire une distorsion du son.  
MAsegúrese de ajustar los reguladores de los  
pedales.  
Para más estabilidad, se proporcionan dos reguladores en  
la parte inferior del conjunto de pedales (D). Gire los  
reguladores hasta que hagan buen contacto con la superficie  
del piso. Los reguladores aseguran una operación estable de  
los pedales y facilitan el control de los efectos con los  
pedales. Si los ajustadores no están en buen contacto con la  
superficie del piso, el sonido podría distorsionarse.  
• Après avoir assemble le Clavinova, vérifiez de nouveau que toutes les  
vis sont bien serrées à fond.  
• Si l’instrument penche d’un côté, s’il fait un bruit inhabituel, ou s’il  
paraît instable lorsque vous l’utilisez, vérifiez que vous l’avez  
assemblé correctement et que toutes les vis sont bien serrées en  
suivant les instructions de montage données ici.  
• Después de haber montado la Clavinova, compruebe una vez más  
que todos los tornillos se hayan apretado bien.  
• Si el soporte se inclina a un lado, hace ruidos anormales, o parece  
inestable durante la utilización, compruebe y apriete todos los  
tornillos siguiendo las instrucciones de montaje anteriores.
