Check Your Power Supply |
Netzspannung überprüfen |
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” screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage appears next to the pointer on the panel.
Vergewissern Sie sich vor dem Anschließen an das Stromnetz, daß die örtliche Netzspannung den Betriebsspannungswerten auf dem Typenschild an der Unterseite des Instruments entspricht. In bestimmten Verkaufsgebieten ist das Instrument mit einem Spannungswähler an der Unterseite neben der Netzkabeldurchführung ausgestattet. Falls vorhanden, muß der Spannungswähler auf die örtliche Netzspannung eingestellt werden. Der Spannungswähler wurde werkseitig auf 240 V voreingestellt. Zum Verstellen drehen Sie den Spannungsregler mit einem Schlitzschraubendreher, bis der
Zeiger auf den korrekten Spannungswert weist
IMPORTANT
Vérifiez la source d’alimentation
Vérifiez que la tension spécifiée sur le panneau arrière correspond à la tension du secteur. Dans certaines régions, l’instrument peut être équipé d’un sélecteur de tension situé sur le panneau inférieur du clavier à proximité du cordon d’alimentation. Vérifiez que ce sélecteur est bien réglé en fonction de la tension secteur de votre région. Le sélecteur de tension est réglé sur 240 V au départ d’usine. Pour modifier ce réglage, utilisez un tournevis à lame plate pour tourner le sélecteur afin de mettre l’indication correspondant à la tension de votre région vis à vis du repère triangulaire situé sur le panneau.
IMPORTANTE
Compruebe la alimentación de su área
Asegúrese de que tensión de alimentación de CA de su área corresponde con la tensión especificada en la placa de características del panel inferior de la unidad del teclado principal, cerca del cable de alimentación. Asegúrese de que el selector de tensión esté ajustado a la tensión de su área. El selector de tensión se ajusta a 240V cuando la unidad sale de fábrica. Para cambiar el ajuste, emplee un destornillador de cabeza “recta” para girar el selector de modo que aparezca la tensión correcta al lado del indicador del panel.

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.
2. Avoid Dust & Moisture
Avoid locations in which the instrument is likely to be exposed to excessive dust or moisture.
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 bumping it with hard objects. Further, always turn the POWER switch off after use, and close the key cover to protect the keyboard (CVP-79A/ 69/69A), or cover the instrument with the dust cover provided (CVP-59S).
•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 if it is not pressed in far enough. (The eject button may become stuck halfway with the disk extending from the slot by only a few millimeters). If this is the case, do not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk. Doing so may damage the disk drive mechanism and/or the floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again or push the disk back into the slot, then repeat the eject procedure carefully.
■Never open or close the key cover while a disk is extending from the drive (i.e. in the ejected position). The key cover may contact the disk, possibly damaging the disk or even the disk drive.
■Do not insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disk.
■Use the 3.5-inch 2DD or 2HD floppy disks with the Clavinova.
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!
7. Electric Interference
Since the Clavinova contains digital circuitry, it may cause interference if placed too close to radio or television receivers. If this occurs, move the instrument further away from the affected equipment.
8. 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 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.
9. Name Plate Location
The Clavinova name plate, including the unit’s serial number, is located on the bottom panel of the main unit.
10.Handling Floppy Disks
Yamaha Disk Orchestra Collection disks are write-protected and therefore cannot be used to save songs. To save your recorded songs a blank floppy disk should be used (one blank disk is supplied with the Clavinova).
Taking Care of Your Floppy Disks
■Do NOT eject the disk during recording or playback, or at any time when the disk drive lamp is lit. Doing so may damage both the disk and the FDD.
■Do NOT turn the Clavinova on or off while the disk is in the drive.
■Always eject the disk before turning the Clavinova off.
■When ejecting a floppy disk from the disk drive:
Disk drive lamp
Precautions Regarding Floppy Disk Use
■Never open the disk’s shutter. Dirt or dust on the Internal magnetic surface will cause data errors.
■Never leave disks near a speaker, TV, or other device that emits a strong magnetic field.
■Do not store disks in places exposed to direct sunlight or sources of high temperature.
■Do not place heavy objects such as books on top of a disk.
■Avoid getting the disks wet.
■Be sure to store the disks in environmental conditions as specified below:
• Storage temperature: 4° to 53° C (39° to 127° F).
•Storage humidity: 8 to 90% relative humidity.
•Store in an area free from dust, sand, smoke, etc.
■Be sure to apply the disk label at the proper position. When changing the label never cover the old label with a new label; always remove the old label first.
Head Cleaning
The head of the disk drive unit will get dirty as you use it eventually causing data errors. If this occurs, clean the head with a 3.5 inch head cleaning disk (available from most computer supply stores).
Data Backup
It is recommended that you copy your recorded songs to another disk for backup (see page 102). If the original disk is damaged or your song is deleted, the backup disk can be used instead of the original.

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 down the braces on either side of the rear of the music stand so that they catch inside the protrusions on the top panel. Reverse this operation o lower the stand.
The Key Cover (CVP-79A/69/69A)
To open the CVP-79A/69/69A key cover lift it just enough to clear the keys (do not lift excessively) then slide the cover back into the main unit. To close the cover slide it forward all the way and then lower it gently until it closes completely.
CVP-79A
The Power Switch
POWER
After making sure that the Clavinova’s AC cord is properly plugged into the Clavinova itself and plugged 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 indicator will light, the POP style selector indicator will light, and the display will appear as shown to the left.
Headphones

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 PHONES 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 comfortable listening level.

The [MIXER] button provides access to individual volume parameters for the rhythm, bass, chord, pad, and phrase parts of the auto accompaniment sound, a keyboard volume parameter, and a volume parameter for the Clavinova’s harmony function — see page 41 for details. When the Clavinova’s Disk Orchestra Collection playback function is in use the [MIXER] button accesses individual volume parameters for each Disk Orchestra Collection part.
FUNCTION MIXER
Expression Control (CVP-79A only)
An optional Yamaha FC7 Foot Controller can be plugged into the CVP-79A EXP PEDAL jack for foot volume (expression) control of the keyboard sound only (i.e. expression doesn’t affect the auto-accompani- ment sound). Press the pedal forward to increase volume, and backward to decrease volume.

The Display & LCD Buttons
The 5 buttons below the display — we’ll call them “LCD buttons” throughout this text — select or edit the parameter indicated by the adjacent section of the display.
In the example display shown here, for example, the two buttons immediately below the VOICE section of the display can be used to select the voice to be played via the keyboard. When either of the VOICE buttons is pressed the VOICE section of the display will be highlighted (as in the example), indicating that the data dial and [+]/[–] buttons can also be used to select voices. The LCD buttons can be pressed briefly to “sin- gle-step” the corresponding parameter, or held to scroll continuously through the parameter’s values. The panel [+]/[–] buttons allow singlestep operation only.

8
General Operation: The Display & Related Controls
In many cases where ▲ and ▼ or < and > LCD buttons appear, both buttons can be pressed simultaneously to recall the default setting for that parameter. The panel [+] and [–] buttons can be used in the same way.
This applies to most parameters that have a range of possible settings. Parameters of this type are enclosed in a rounded frame in the display.
Parameters which are directly executed or simply switched on or off via the corresponding LCD button appear in a square frame and are not editable via the data dial and [+]/[–] buttons.
The [DISPLAY HOLD] Button
When selecting voices (page 15) or accompaniment styles (page 28), for example, the voice or style list that appears when a VOICE or STYLE button is pressed will automatically disappear after a few seconds if no selections are made. When this type of temporary “pop-up” display is selected, the [DISPLAY HOLD] button will flash indicating that the display will disappear in a few seconds. Pop-up displays can be kept on the LCD for as long as required by pressing the [DISPLAY HOLD] button so that its indicator lights continuously. Press [DISPLAY HOLD] a second time (the indicator will go out) to disengage the display hold function.
•If the [DISPLAY HOLD] button is engaged when a normal display is showing, no pop-up displays will appear even when a button that normally calls a pop-up display is pressed.
•The length of time pop-up displays remain on the LCD can be set via the
“Pop-up Time” function described on page 109.

This button calls the CVP-79A/69/69A/59S mixer display which includes individual volume parameters for the auto-accompaniment RHYTHM, BASS, CHORD, PAD, and PHRASE parts. These parameters can be used to the achieve the best overall balance for your musical needs (see page 38 for details). The mixer parameters will disappear when the [MIXER] button is pressed a second time (or the [EXIT] button is pressed).

The [CONTRAST] Button
The CVP-79A/69/69A/59S display panel is a liquid-crystal type which can be adjusted for optimum legibility. Press the [CONTRAST] button and use the DARK and LIGHT LCD buttons (or data dial or [+]/ [–] buttons) to set the display contrast for optimum legibility.

If you’re ever in doubt about a function, the CVP-79A/69/69A/59S HELP function is always available. Press the [DEMO/HELP] button and then the HELP LCD button at any time to enter the help mode.
DEMO/HELP
If necessary use the first LCD button to select the language (ENGLISH, GERMAN, FRENCH or JAPANESE) you want help in. The language setting is retained in memory even when the Clavinova power is turned off. Use the SELECT ▲ ▼buttons to select a topic, then press the ENTER button to view the first page of help text on the selected topic.

DISPLAY HOLD |
The [EXIT] or [DEMO/HELP] button will take you back to the topic list if pressed while the help text is showing, or back to the initial play mode display if pressed while the topic list is showing.
Memory Backup
In addition to the contrast and language settings introduced in this section, the Clavinova has a range of parameters that can be retained in memory even while the power is off, so you don’t have to reset all your favorite settings every time you want to play. The “Backup” function described on page 107 lets you select which parameters will be backed up (retained in memory), and which will be reset to their default values whenever the power is turned off.
Parameters that are backed up will be retained in memory for about a week if the Clavinova is not turned on during this time. All parameters will be reset to their default values if the power remains off for longer than about a week. To ensure that your backed-up settings are maintained, turn the power on for a few minutes at least once a week.

Keyboard Percussion
The Clavinova has 8 Drum Kits in the [DRUMS/PERC.] voice group which includes a range of drum and percussion voices as well as sound effects. When one of the Drum Kit voices is selected, you can play 72 different drums and percussion instruments on the keyboard. The drums and percussion instruments played by the various keys when the Standard Kit is selected are marked by symbols above the keys.

•When a Drum Kit voice is selected only the keys with drum or percussion symbols printed above them will sound.
•The TRANSPOSE, TUNE, and OCTAVE SHIFT functions described on pages 91 and 92 do not affect the
Drum Kit voices.
The Keyboard & Polyphony
The CVP-69/69A/59S can play up to 32 notes at once while the CVP-79A can play up to 64. This number includes all notes being played at the same time in any single or combination use of dual, split, accompaniment, and disk functions. Further variation occurs with “1-element” and “2-element” voices: the polyphony is halved with 2-element voices. The same applies to stereo voices. The voice list on page 116 shows all stereo, 2-element, and 1-element voices in the CVP-79A/69/69A/59S.
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 on the selected voice and the setting of the TOUCH SENSITIVITY parameter (page 91).
16
Dual Mode
The DUAL mode makes it possible to play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. This makes it easy to create exceptionally rich, thick tonal textures.

A different main voice can be selected in the normal way once the normal play mode display reappears.
•Please note that only the VOICE group button indicator of the 2nd voice group lights while the DUAL mode pop-up display is showing, and that only the main voice group indicator lights after the DUAL mode pop-up display disappears.
•The default DUAL mode 2nd voice is Strings Slow.

Detune Depth
In many cases an even “thicker” sound can be produced by slightly detuning the dual-mode main and 2nd voices. The DETUNE DEPTH LCD buttons can be used to set the detune depth value between 0 and 10. The data dial and [+]/[–] can also be used once the DETUNE DEPTH parameter is selected. The higher the value the greater the amount of detuning. The “normal” setting of “5” can be instantly recalled by pressing both the DETUNE DEPTH LCD buttons simultaneously.
•The dual and split modes cannot be used at the same time.
•The OCTAVE SHIFT function — page
91 — can be used to shift the pitch of the main and/or 2nd voice in the DUAL mode up or down one octave.
•The DUAL mode balance and depth settings affect all voice combinations.
•The DUAL mode settings are retained even if the DUAL mode is turned off and on while the power remains on.
The DUAL mode settings can also be backed up even after the power is turned off via the “Backup” function — page 107.

Total Depth Control
The overall depth of the selected reverb type can be increased or decreased by using the TOTAL DEPTH LCD buttons, or the data dial or [+]/ [–] buttons when the TOTAL DEPTH parameter is highlighted. The total depth range is from “0” (no reverb) through “100” (maximum reverb). The default TOTAL DEPTH value of “50” can be instantly recalled by pressing both the TOTAL DEPTH LCD buttons or [+] and [–] buttons simultaneously.
Individual Part Depth Control
The depth of the reverb effect applied to the accompaniment rhythm, bass, chord, and keyboard parts can be individually adjusted via the parameters provided in page 2 of the reverb display. These values are relative to the total depth value. Use the PAGE buttons to select page 2, press the LCD button corresponding to the part for which you want to adjust the reverb depth, then use the data dial or [+]/[–] buttons to adjust the reverb depth as required. The LCD buttons can be held to increase the depth for the corresponding part only. The individual part reverb depth range is from “0” (no reverb) to “100” (maximum reverb). The default setting of “50” can be instantly recalled for any part by simultaneously pressing the [+] and [–] buttons while the depth parameter for the desired part is selected.
•The TOTAL DEPTH setting applies to all parts.
•The actual reverb depth for each part is determined by the product of the
TOTAL DEPTH and individual part depth settings. For example, if one is
“0”, no reverb will be produced even if the other is “100”.
•Both total and individual part depth can be adjusted in five steps.

Effect Depth Control
When a single voice is selected only one depth parameter will appear. When the DUAL or SPLIT mode is engaged, separate depth parameters will appear for the main and 2nd (dual) or rightand left-hand (split) voices. The depth of the selected effect can be increased or decreased by using the DEPTH1(R) and/or DEPTH2(L) LCD buttons, or the data dial or [+]/[–] buttons when the DEPTH1(R) or DEPTH2(L) parameter is highlighted. The DEPTH1(R) and DEPTH2(L) buttons can be held to only increase the depth of the corresponding voice. The depth range is from “0” (no effect) to “100” (maximum effect depth). The default DEPTH1(R) or DEPTH2(L) setting can be instantly recalled for either depth parameter by simultaneously pressing the [+] and [–] buttons while the desired depth parameter is selected — DEPTH2(L) is reset to “50”.

The Pedals
The CVP-79A/69/69A has three pedals and the CVP-59S has two pedals which offer a range of advanced expressive capabilities.
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. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.

•The CVP-79A damper pedal can be set for continuous (default) or on/off type damping control via the “DAMPER MODE” function (page 94).
Center Pedal (Sostenuto Pedal — CVP-79A/69/69A only)
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.”
