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.

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.
