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 dust 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.

Stereo System
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.
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-152S/153S features a high-performance stereo amplifier delivering 20 watts per
channel to a pair of 16-cm speaker units.
• The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either
NOTE
directly or through external equipment.

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

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 HARPSICHORD/ORGAN combination HARPSICHORD is the left voice and ORGAN is the right voice.

The Pedals
The CLP-152S/153S has two foot pedals that produce a range of expressive effects simi-
lar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.
● Soft/Sostenuto (Left) Pedal
Soft/Sostenuto pedal
● Damper (Right) Pedal
Damper pedal
When the power is turned on the left pedal is set for soft pedal operation.
Pressing the soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre
of notes played.
The left pedal can be switched to sostenuto operation by pressing the
pedal while holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. 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.” You can switch back to soft pedal operation at any time simply by pressing the pedal while holding the [MIDI/
TRANSPOSE] button again.
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.
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 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.
The [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button and keys F#2 through F#3 on the keyboard are used for transposition.
ZPress and hold the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
XPress a key between F#2 and F#3 according to the desired amount of
transposition.*
CRelease the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
* Pressing the C3 key produces normal keyboard pitch. Pressing the key to
the left of C3 (B2) transposes the pitch of the keyboard down a semitone,
the next key to the left (Bb2) transposes down a whole tone (two semitones), etc., down to the F#2 key which transposes down 6 semitones.
Upward transposition is accomplished in the same way using the keys to
the right of C3, up to F#3 which transposes up 6 semitones.

Pitch Control
Pitch control makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over a ±50-cent range in approximately
1.6-cent intervals. A hundred “cents” equals one semitone, so the tuning 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.

Using the Recorder
The CLP-152S/153S recorder lets you record what you play on the keyboard and then play it back. This
is a useful adjunct to any keyboard study program, since it lets you hear exactly how you sound from the
listener’s perspective. It can also be just plain fun.
The recorder actually records the following data:
● Notes played ● Voice selection ● Dual mode voices ● Dual balance
● Damper pedal ● Left pedal ● Tempo

Press the RECORDER [REC] button to engage the record ready mode
(recording does not actually start yet). The [REC] button indicator will

Before actually beginning to record, select the voice you want to record
with (or voices if you will be using the dual mode). You might also want to
set the volume and tempo controls.

ready mode, making the required changes, and then pressing the [REC]
button again to exit from the record ready mode and register the changes. If
you do this, be careful not to press the [PLAY] button or a key on the keyboard, either of which will start recording and erase all previous recorded
data.

• You can record up to a maximum of about 1,300 notes, depending on
pedal usage and other factors. The [REC] button indicator will begin to
flash when recorder memory is almost full, and recording will stop automatically.
