Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Yamaha CLP-122S 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.
● Yamaha’s AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generator system offers rich, realistic voices.
● Piano-like touch response — adjustable in 3 stages — provides extensive expressive control and out-
standing playability.
● Dual play mode allows 2 voices to be played simultaneously.
● Unique Clavinova Tone voice provides a fresh sound for new musical expression.
● Damper pedal includes natural resonance effect for the piano voices, simulating the string and sound-
board resonance of acoustic pianos.
● MIDI compatibility and a range of MIDI functions make the Clavinova useful in a range of advanced
MIDI music systems.
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 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.
1 Never open the case and touch or tamper with the inter-
nal circuitry.
2 Always turn the POWER switch OFF after use, and
cover the keyboard with the key cover provided.
3 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.
4 Never place any vinyl products on your Clavinova. Con-
tact with vinyl can cause irreversible damage to the
finish.
5 Install your Clavinova in a place that is away from di-
rect sunlight, excessive humidity or heat.
6 Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors
or other parts of your Clavinova, and avoid scratching
or bumping it with hard objects.
7 Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the
voltage specified on the name plate.* In some areas a
voltage selector may be provided on the rear panel of
the main unit. Make sure that the voltage selector is set
for the voltage in your area.
* Name Plate Location
The CLP-122S name plate is located on the bottom
panel.

2 AUX OUT R and L/L+R Jacks
AUX. OUT
L/L+RR
Stereo System
These jacks are intended for use with an external tone generator module such as
the Yamaha DOM-30 Disk Orchestra Module. The stereo outputs from the external tone generator module are connected to the OPTIONAL IN L and R jacks,
allowing the sound of the tone generator to be reproduced via the Clavinova’s
internal sound system and speakers.
The AUX OUT R and L/L+R jacks deliver the output of the Clavinova for connection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA system, or recording equipment. If you will be connecting the Clavinova to a monaural sound 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-122S features a high-performance stereo amplifiers delivering 15 watts per
channel to a pair of 16-cm speaker units.
Note: The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the OPTIONAL IN jacks, either
directly or through external equipment.

DRC-20
The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device (such
as the DRC-20 Disk Recorder, or DOM-30 Disk Orchestra Module) 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 14.
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 HEADPHONES
jacks.

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
4
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.

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
acoustic reverberation you would hear in a medium-size room.
HALL 1 ......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.
