IMPORTANT
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.

PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
W ARNING
Always follo w the basic precautions listed belo w to av oid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/Power cord
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.
• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over , or roll an ything over it.
Do not open
• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
CAUTION
Water warning
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Fire warning
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
If you notice any abnormality
• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/Power cord
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.
Assembly
• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process. Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result in damage to the instrument or even injury.
Location
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.
• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
• Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/ one-inch from the wall), since this can cause inadequate air circulation, and possibly result in the instrument overheating.

Connections
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.
Maintenance
• In the case of a model with a polished finish, gently remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth. Do not wipe too hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the instrument's finish.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Handling caution
•Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instrument.
•Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the key cover, panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
• In the case of a model with a polished finish, bumping the surface of the instrument with metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can cause the finish to crack or peel. Use caution.
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
Using the bench (If included)
• Do not place the bench in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or step-ladder or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury.
• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the possibility of accident or injury.
• In the case of a model which the height adjustable bench included, do not attempt to adjust the bench height while sitting on the bench, since this can cause excessive force to be imposed on the adjustment mechanism, possibly resulting in damage to the mechanism or even injury.
• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them periodically using the included tool.
Saving data
Saving and backing up your data
• Current data (see page 46) is lost when you turn off the power to the instrument. Save the data to a floppy disk (CLP-170)/ the storage memory (see page 46).
Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save important data to a floppy disk (CLP-170).
Backing up the floppy disk (CLP-170)
•To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto two floppy disks.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive(FDD) and Floppy Disk (CLP-170)

Precautions

Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important precautions below.

Compatible Disk Type

3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.

Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks

To insert a floppy disk into the disk drive: Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it clicks into place and the eject button pops out.
Drive lamp
To eject a floppy disk:
Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that the floppy disk drive is stopped. If the disk drive is operating (during the [SaveToDisk] (P53), [DeleteSong] (P53), [RenameSong] (P54), [CopyDisk] (P55), or [FormatDisk] (P56) opera­tion), the Clavinova displays [Executing]. Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off when the disk drive is operating. Doing so can damage the disk and possibly the disk drive. Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk will automatically pop out. When the disk is fully ejected, care­fully remove it by hand.
Eject button
Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that can cause data read and write errors.

Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head

• Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument employs a precision magnetic read/write head which, after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventually cause read and write errors.
• To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-avail­able dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the avail­ability of proper head-cleaning disks.
• Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disks.

About the Floppy Disks

• To handle floppy disks with care:
• Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep floppy disks in their protective cases when they are not in use.
• Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liq­uids.
• Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed surface of the floppy disk inside.
• Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic fields can partially or completely erase data on the disk, rendering it unreadable.
• Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing.
• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in the proper location.
If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not pressed in as far as it will go, the disk may not eject properly. The eject button may become stuck in a half-pressed posi­tion with the disk extending from the drive slot by only a few millimeters. If this happens, do not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk, since using force in this situation can damage the disk drive mechanism 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 and then repeat the eject procedure.

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive(FDD) and Floppy Disk
• To protect your data (Write-protect Tab):
• To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk’s write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open).
write-protect tab open (protect position)
• Data backup
• For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you keep two copies of important data on separate floppy disks. This gives you a backup if one disk is lost or dam­aged. To make a backup disk use the Copy Disk function on page 52.

Maintenance

Clean the instrument using a dry or slightly damp soft cloth (wring well).
CAUTION
Do not use benzene, thinner, detergent, or chemically-treated cloth for cleaning. Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber products on the instrument. Otherwise, the panel or keys may become discolored or degraded.
CAUTION
Before using the Clavinova, be sure to read “Precautions” on pages 3-4.

Tuning

Unlike an acoustic piano, the Clavinova does not need to be tuned. It always stays perfectly in tune.

Transporting

If you move to another location, you can transport the Clavinova along with your other belongings. You can move the unit as it is (assembled) or you can disassemble the unit. Transport the keyboard horizontally. Do not lean it up against a wall or stand it up on its side. Do not subject the instrument to excessive vibration or shock.
TIP
The CLP-170 features an iAFC (Instrumental Active Field Control) effect. This produces sound from the speaker located on the rear of the Clavinova, enhancing the reverberation and spaciousness of the sound. In order to take full advantage of iAFC, we recommend that you do the following.
• Place the Clavinova so that its rear panel is at least 10 cm away from the wall.
• After you move the Clavinova to a different location, perform the automatic adjustment. (page 86)

Features

The Yamaha CLP-170/150 Clavinova features rich sounds produced by Yamaha’s proprietary “AWM dynamic stereo sampling” tone generator system, a “Graded Hammer” keyboard (CLP-150) that varies the key weight according to
the key range, and a “GH3” keyboard (CLP-170) that enhances the graded hammer keyboard by allowing you to play a note to be played repeatedly without pressing the pedal, giving these electronic pianos a “playing-feel” that is very close to the keyboard of a genuine grand piano. The CLP-170/150 GrandPiano1 voice features 3 velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), “String Resonance” (page 93) that recreates resonance of piano strings, special “Sus- tain Sampling” (page 93)that samples the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings when the damper pedal is pressed, and “Key-off Samples” that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released. The CLP-170/150 comes much closer to the sound of a true acoustic piano.

Using the pedals

The Clavinova has three foot pedals: damper pedal (right), sostenuto pedal (center), and soft pedal (left) that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.
Selecting and Playing Voices
Damper (right) pedal
When you press the damper pedal, the notes you play have a longer sustain. When you select Grand Piano 1, pressing the damper pedal activates the instrument’s special “Sustain Samples” to accurately recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings.
Sostenuto (center) pedal
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. All subsequent notes will not sustain.
q
.
q
.
q

h
When you press the damper pedal here, the notes you play before you release the pedal have a longer sustain.
q
.
q
.
q
.
h
When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as you hold the pedal.
TIP
If the damper pedal doesn’t work, or notes are sustained even when the pedal is not pressed, make sure that the pedal cord is properly plugged into the PEDAL jack on the unit (see step 5 on page 113 (CLP-150), see step 6 on page 116 (CLP-
170)). Also, make sure that the RPedal parameter in the “VOICE SETTING” menu is set to ON (see page 83).
TIP
You can adjust the depth of the resonance produced by the “Sustain Samples” using the Sustain Sampling Depth parameter in the “OTHER SETTING” menu. (See page 93.)
Soft pedal (left)
The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is pressed. (The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing when it is pressed. Press the pedal immediately before you play the target notes.)
With the Vibraphone and Jazz Organ voices, this pedal turns vibrato on and off or toggles the speed of vibrato. (See page 93.)
TIP
You can assign a function to each pedal via the “R Pedal”, “M Pedal”, and “L Pedal” parameters in the “VOICE SETTING” menu. (See pages 83, 84.)
TIP
The center and left pedals can also be assigned to song start/stop operation (START/STOP function) via the “PedalStart/Stop” parameter in the “OTHER SETTING” menu (on page 94).

To enhance the acoustic realism of the sound ...[iAFC (Instrumental Active Field Control)] (CLP-170)

When iAFC is engaged, the Clavinova will sound deeper and more resonant, similar to an acoustic musical instruments.
Perform the automatic adjustment after you turn on the power of the Clavinova for the first time, and after each time you move the Clavinova. (page 86)
iAFC [ON/OFF]
Procedure
iAFC will toggle on or off each time you press iAFC [ON/ OFF] switch.
TIP
How iAFC works
Sounds picked up by a mic and sounds produced inter­nally by the Clavinova are processed and output from the rear speaker to enhance acoustic realism of the sound.
iAFC uses Yamaha’s EMR (Electronic Microphone Rotator) technology to ensure stability against acoustic feedback.
TIP
iAFC cannot be used in the following cases.
• When the Speaker setting is Normal, and head­phones are connected.
• When the Speaker setting is Off.

Recording Your Performance

This chapter explains how to record your performance using the Clavinova recording function. You can, for example, play back what you have played on the Clavinova key­board for an effective practice aid. You can also record just the left-hand part, then practice the right-hand part while playing back the recorded left-hand part.
You can record your perfor­mance (audio data) to a cas­sette tape recorder or other recording devices via the AUX OUT connector. (see page 60.)
TIP
Since you can record up to sixteen tracks separately, you could record the left­and right-hand parts separately, or record each part of a four-handed perfor­mance or ensemble song one by one to build a song.
TERMINOLOGY
The format of performance data recorded on a cassette tape differs from that of data recorded on the Clavinova. A cas­sette tape records audio signals. On the other hand, the Clavino v a “sa v es” inf ormation regarding note timing, voices , and a tempo value, but not audio signals. When you play back recorded songs, the Clavinova produces sound based on the saved information. Therefore, recording on the Clavinova may be more accurately called “saving information.” However, this book often uses the word “recording” because it seems to make more sense.
Recording vs. Saving:
A message (information or confirmation dialog) sometimes appears on the screen to facilitate operation. Refer to the “Message List” on page 96 for an explanation of each message, appropriate actions to take, and troubleshooting information.

Procedure
1. Select a song for recording (P-001 – P-050).
Select one of the preset songs (P-001–P-050) instead of “P-000: NewSong” as described in Step 1 of “Recording to [TRACK1]” on page 38. To select a song from commercial music data sold in stores or from already-recorded data, see Steps 1 and 2 on page 55.
If you record on a track that already has data, the exist­ing data on the track will be lost.

Clavinova memory

The Clavinova has the following three types of memory:
Current memory: This is a temporary memory area where you can temporarily place and edit the currently-selected song before playback or recording.
Preset song memory: This read-only memory area saves 50 piano preset songs.
Storage memory: This memory area enables you to save recorded songs or song data loaded from floppy disk (CLP-170).
TERMINOLOGY
File
A file contains a group of data. On the Clavinova, a song file includes song data and a song number.
Memory
Memory is a location inside the Clavinova in which you can save and edit data.
Formatting (Initializing) (CLP-170)
Floppy disks are a conve­nient media that allow you to save various data for per­sonal computers and other devices. There are many ways (formats) to save data on floppy disks, depending on the device. Therefore, you need to prepare a floppy disk by assigning a format before you can use it on a particular type of device. This operation is called “for­matting.”
Character code
Type of characters
TIP
Please note that the copy features are intended for your personal use only.
When you select a song in the song select screen, it is loaded from Preset song memory, Storage memory, or floppy disk (CLP-170), into Current memory. You will use Current memory to play back and record songs. When you turn off the power to the Clavinova, songs saved in Preset song memory and Stor­age memory are not erased. On the other hand, songs in Current memory are lost. If you wish to keep a song in Current memory, you must save it in Stor­age memory or on a floppy disk (CLP-170) (see pages 48, 49). In this manual, a song located in a song recorded in Current memory, is referred to as a “Current song,” a song in Storage memory is a “Memory song,” and a song on a floppy disk is a “Disk song” (CLP-170).

If you connect the Clavi­nova to a monaural device, use only the AUX IN [L/L+R] jack or AUX OUT [L/L+R] jack.
CAUTION
Do not route the output from the AUX OUT jacks to the AUX IN jacks. That is, when you connect an external audio device to the AUX OUT jacks, do not connect the audio device to the Clavinova’s AUX IN jacks. If you make this connection, the signal input at the AUX IN jacks will be output from AUX OUT. This creates an audio loop, causing audio oscillation and abnormal playback, and leading to malfunction of both pieces of equipment.
TIP
Use audio cables and adap­tor plugs with no resistance.
TIP
The Clavinova’s [MASTER VOLUME] setting will not affect the sound that is out­put from AUX OUT (LEVEL FIXED).
When these are connected (with stan­dard phone plugs), you can use the [MASTER VOLUME] control to adjust the volume of the sound output to the external device.

This automatically adjusts the sensitivity and response of iAFC so that the optimal iAFC effect will be obtained. When automatic adjustment begins, a fairly loud harpsichord note will sound four times at a fixed interval. Automatic adjustment will end in approximately two and a half minutes. While automatic adjustment is being performed, do not make audible noises in the vicinity of the Clavinova. See the procedure on page 71.
TIP
iAFC cannot be used in the following cases.
• When the Speaker setting is Normal, and head­phones are connected.
• When the Speaker setting is Off.
Restoring the default iAFC set­tings [iAFC Default]
This sets the iAFC function to the default setting. See the procedure on page 71.
TIP
The keyboard will not produce sound while automatic adjustment is being performed. Nor is it possible to adjust the volume of the Clavinova.
TIP
If a sound occurs in the vicinity of the Clavinova during automatic adjustment, the automatic adjustment may be aborted, and the settings reset to their default values. If this occurs, we recommend that you perform the auto­matic adjustment once again.
TIP
If any low-range noise (such as an air conditioner or traf­fic) is audible around the Clavinov a during the automatic adjustment, the adjustment may abort and the settings reset to their default values. If this occurs, we recom­mend that you perform the automatic adjustment once again after you eliminate the noise.
TIP
If you re-locate the Clavinov a after making the automatic adjustment, first reset the iAFC settings to their default values before re-locating the unit. (See the following.)

MIDI [MIDI SETTING]

You can make detailed MIDI settings, such as setting up MIDI transmit/receive channels.

About MIDI

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard format for data transmission/reception. It enables the transfer of performance data and commands between MIDI devices and personal computers. Using MIDI, you can control a connected MIDI device from the Clavinova, or control the Clavinova from a connected MIDI device or computer.
MIDI connectors
MIDI [IN]: Receives MIDI data. MIDI [OUT]: Transmits MIDI data. MIDI [THRU]: Transmits data received at the MIDI [IN] connector as it is.
TIP
Prepare dedicated MIDI cables.
[TO HOST] connector
Use this connector to connect the Clavinova to a computer.
TIP
The type connecting cable varies depending on the computer. Refer to “Connect­ing a Personal Computer” on page 61 for more information.
[USB] connector
Use this connector to connect the Clavinova and computer.
TIP
MIDI performance data and commands are transferred in the form of numeric values.
Since MIDI data that can be transmitted or received var­ies depending on the type of MIDI device, check the “MIDI Implementation Chart” to find out what MIDI data and com­mands your devices can transmit or receive. The Clavi­nova’ s MIDI Implementation Chart is listed on pages 31 and 32 in the “Reference Booklet” for the CLP-170/150.
When you are using the MIDI connectors, set the [HOST SELECT] switch to “MIDI.” (See page 59.)
TIP
When you are using the [TO HOST] connector, set the [HOST SELECT] switch cor­rectly, according to the type of computer you are using. (See page 59.)
NOTE
When you are using the [USB] connector, set the [HOST SELECT] switch to “USB.”

Setting Local control on/off [LocalControl]

“Local Control On” is a state in which the Clavi­nova produces the sound from its tone generator when you play the keyboard. In “Local Control Off” state, the keyboard and the tone generator are cut off from each other. This means that even if you play the keyboard, the Clavinova will not pro­duce the sound. Instead, the keyboard data can be transmitted via MIDI to a connected MIDI device, which can produce the sound. The “Local Control Off” setting is useful when you wish to play an external sound source while playing the keys on the Clavinova. See the procedure on page 71.

You can select various scales. Equal Temperament is the most common contem­porary piano tuning scale. However, history has known numerous other scales, many of which serve as the basis for certain genres of music. You can experience the tunings of these genres. See the procedure on page 71.
A
C
Setting range:
Equal
One octave is divided into twelve equal intervals. Currently most popular piano tuning scale.
PureMajor/PureMinor
Based on natural overtones, three major chords using these scales produce a beauti­ful, pure sound. They are sometimes used for chorus parts.
Pythagorean
This scale, designed by Pythagoras, a Greek philosopher, is based on the interval of a perfect 5th. The 3rd produces swells, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads.
MeanTone
This scale is an improvement of the Pythagorean in that the swell of the 3rd has been eliminated. It spread during the late 16th century through the late 18th century. Handel used this scale.
WerckMeister/KirnBerger
These scales combine Mean Tone and Pythagorean in different ways. With these scales, modulation changes the impression and feel of the songs. They were often used in the era of Bach and Beethoven. They are also often used now to reproduce the music of that era on harpsichords.

Changing the key [Transpose]

TIP
TRANSPOSE= To change the key (Changing the key: To raise or lower the overall pitch of the entire song.) The Clavinova’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semi­tone intervals to facilitate playing in difficult key signa­tures, and to let you easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the transposition amount to “5,” playing key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play the song as if it were in C major, and the Clavinova will transpose it to the key of F.
