Taking Care Of Your Clavinova
Your Clavinova is a fine musical instrument, and deserves the most careful treatment. Observe the following points and your Clavinova will sound and look great for many years.
1Never open the case and touch or tamper with the internal circuitry.
2Always turn the POWER switch OFF after use, and close the key cover to protect the keyboard, or cover the keyboard with the dust cover provided.
3Clean 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.
4Never place any vinyl products on your Clavinova. Contact with vinyl can cause irreversible damage to the finish.
5Install your Clavinova in a place that is away from direct sunlight, excessive humidity or heat.

The [MASTER VOLUME] control adjusts the volume (level) of sound produced by the Clavinova’s internal stereo sound system. The [MASTER VOLUME] control also adjusts headphone volume when a pair of headphones is plugged into the PHONES jack (page 4).
3[BRILLIANCE] Button (CLP-155 only)
This button can be used to change the tonality or “timbre” of the selected voice. See page 9 for details.
4[REVERB] Button
The [REVERB] button selects a number of digital reverb effects that you can use for extra depth and expressive power. See page 8 for details.
5[MIDI/TRANSPOSE] Button
The [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button allows access to the Clavinova’s TRANSPOSE function (to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down), keyboard touch sensitivity adjustment, and MIDI functions. For details refer to “TRANSPOSITION” on page 10, “TOUCH SENSITIVITY” on page 10, and “MIDI FUNCTIONS” on page 15.
6Voice Selectors
The CLP-154S has six voice selectors and the CLP-155 has eight. Simply press any of the voice selectors to select the corresponding voice. The voice selector LED will light to indicate which voice is currently selected. The CLP-154S/155 also has a DUAL mode in which two voices can be played simultaneously across the full range of the keyboard — see page 7
for details.
NOTE |
• The PIANO 1 voice is auto- |
|
matically selected whenever |

7[METRONOME] Button
Turns the metronome sound on and off. The [TEMPO] control, below, is used to set the tempo of the metronome sound. More precise tempo settings can be achieved by using the [METRONOME] button and the CLP-154S/155 keyboard as described on page 12.
8[TEMPO] Control
This control adjusts the tempo of the CLP-154S/155 metronome function as well as the playback tempo of the recorder function. The tempo range is from 32 to 280 quarter-note beats per minute.
9RECORDER [PLAY] and [REC] Buttons
These buttons control the CLP-154S/ 155 2-track recorder, letting you record and play back just about anything you play on the keyboard — up to a maximum of about 4,200 notes. See page 13 for details.
0[DEMO] Button
Activates the demo playback mode in which you can select playback of different demonstration sequences for each of the Clavinova’s voices. See page 6 for details.
!Pedals
The CLP-154S/155’s soft (left), sostenuto (center) and damper (right) pedals provide a range of expressive control capabilities similar to the pedal functions on an acoustic piano. See page 9 for details.

AUX OUT
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 and R jacks, allowing the sound of the tone generator to be reproduced via the Clavinova’s internal sound system and speakers.
NOTE |
• 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. |
||
|
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 leftand 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 Internal Amplifier & Speaker System
The CLP-154S and CLP-155 feature high-performance stereo amplifiers delivering 20 and Stereo System 30 watts per channel, respectively. The CLP-155 features a bass-reflex type enclosure with
two 13-cm and two 5-cm speakers, while the CLP-154S houses a pair of 13-cm speaker units in a sealed enclosure.
NOTE |
• The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either |
|
directly or through external equipment. |

● PHONES Jacks (Bottom Panel)
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).
More details on MIDI are given in “MIDI FUNCTIONS” on page 15.
Two pairs of standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private practice or late-night playing. The internal speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into either of the PHONES jacks.

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.
You can also change the overall tone or add reverb and/or effects as desired by using the [REVERB] button, and the [BRILLIANCE] button on the CLP-155 (see page 9 for [BRILLIANCE] button operation, “Reverb” on page 8).

The Dual Mode
The DUAL mode makes it possible to play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. To activate the DUAL mode simply press two voice selectors at the same time (or press one voice selector while holding another). The voice indicators of both selected voices will light when the DUAL mode is active. To return to the normal single-voice play mode, press any single voice selector.

The volume levels of the two voices combined in the DUAL mode are normally set automatically to produce a pleasing balance (see “Default Settings” below). The balance can be adjusted manually by using the C2 through C4 keys on the keyboard while pressing the two voice selectors corresponding to the voices to be combined in the DUAL mode.
The C3 key produces equal (50:50) balance between the two voices, while keys to the left of C3 increase the volume of the left voice in relation to the right voice, and keys to the right of C3 increase the volume of the right voice in relation to the left voice. By “left” and “right” voice we refer to the relative positions of the voice selectors — i.e. in a PIANO 2/ CLAVINOVA TONE combination PIANO 2 is the left voice and CLAVINOVA TONE is the right voice.
Depending on which voices you combine using the DUAL mode, the combination may sound better if one of the voices is shifted up an octave. To shift the right voice, press the C5 key while pressing the two voice selectors corresponding to the voices to be combined in the DUAL mode. Press C5 again to shift the voice back to its normal range. Use the C1 key in the same way to shift the left voice.
Default octave settings are provided for all voice combinations, as listed in the “Default Settings” chart, below.

Press the C7 key while holding any two voice selectors to memorize all balance, STRINGS voice attack variation (CLP-155), and octave shift settings made since the power was turned on. The memorized settings will be retained in memory for about one week after the power is turned off, then the default settings will be restored. To keep the memorized settings for longer periods, turn the power on briefly at least once a week.
If these settings are not memorized as described above, they are retained in memory only until the Clavinova is turned off.

Reverb
The [REVERB] button selects a number of digital reverb effects that you can use for extra depth and expressive power.
To select a reverb type press the [REVERB] button a few times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type lights (the indicators light in sequence each time the [REVERB] button is pressed). No reverb is produced when all indicators are off.
|
OFF ............ |
When no reverb effect is selected (no REVERB indicator is lit), a special natural |
|
|
damper effect is applied to the piano voices. This simulates the natural resonance of |
|
|
|
|
|
an acoustic piano’s strings and sound board when the damper pedal is pressed. |
|
ROOM ........ |
This setting add a continuous reverb effect to the sound that is similar to the type of |
|
HALL 1 |
acoustic reverberation you would hear in a medium-size room. |
|
||
|
For a “bigger” reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting. This effect simulates the natu- |
|
|
|
ral reverberation of a medium-size concert hall. |
|
HALL 2 ...... |
For a really spacious reverb sound, use the HALL 2 setting. This effect simulates the |
|
|
natural reverberation of a large concert hall. |
|
COSMIC .... |
The COSMIC reverb effect produces an echo-plus-reverb sound that can add life and |
|
|
animation to your music. |

The depth of the selected reverb effect can be adjusted for the current voice by using the C2 through C4 keys on the keyboard while holding the [REVERB] button. The C3 key sets the “normal” depth for the selected effect. Keys to the left of C3 decrease the reverb depth, while keys to the right of the C3 key increase the reverb depth. Separate reverb settings can be made for each effect and voice, and these settings are retained in memory until the power is turned off. The depth of the natural damper effect is fixed.
