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.

WICHTIG
Überprüfung der Stromversorgung
Vergewissern Sie sich vor dem Anschließen an das Stromnetz, daß die örtliche
Netzspannung den Betriebsspannungswerten auf dem Typenschild an der
Unterseite des Instruments entspricht. In bestimmten Verkaufsgebieten ist das
Instrument mit einem Spannungswähler an der Unterseite neben der
Netzkabeldurchführung ausgestattet. Falls vorhanden, muß der
Spannungswähler auf die örtliche Netzspannung eingestellt werden. Der
Spannungswähler wurde werkseitig auf 240 V voreingestellt. Zum Verstellen
drehen Sie den Spannungsregler mit einem Schlitzschraubendreher, bis der
Zeiger auf den korrekten Spannungswert weist.
IMPORTANT
Contrôler la source d'alimentation
Vérifiez que la tension spécifiée sur le panneau inférieur correspond à la
tension du secteur. Dans certaines régions, l'instrument peut être équipé d'un
sélecteur de tension situé sur le panneau inférieur du clavier à proximité du
cordon d'alimentation.
Vérifiez que ce sélecteur est bien réglé en fonction de la tension secteur de
votre région. Le sélecteur de tension est réglé sur 240 V au départ d'usine.
Pour modifier ce réglage, utilisez un tournevis à lame plate pour tourner le
sélecteur afin de mettre l'indication correspondant à la tension de votre région
vis à vis du repère triangulaire situé sur le panneau.
IMPORTANTE
Verifique la alimentación de corriente
Asegúrese de que tensión de alimentación de CA de su área corresponde con la
tensión especificada en la placa de características del panel inferior. En algunas
zonas puede haberse incorporado un selector de tensión en el panel inferior
de la unidad del teclado principal, cerca del cable de alimentación. Asegúrese
de que el selector de tensión esté ajustado a la tensión de su área. El selector
de tensión se ajusta a 240V cuando la unidad sale de fábrica. Para cambiar el
ajuste, emplee un destornillador de cabeza "recta" para girar el selector de
modo que aparezca la tensión correcta al lado del indicador del panel.

Features
The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-220 digital piano offers unmatched sonic realism and natural grand-piano type playability as
well as Yamaha’s original “ AWM Stereo Sampling ” tone-generation technology for rich, musical voices, and a special
“ Graded Hammer ” keyboard that provides graded key weight and response throughout the keyboard range.
Tw o of the piano voices, “Grand Piano 1” and “Grand Piano 2,” feature totally new samples recorded from a full-size concert grand piano. The “Electric Piano 1” voice features multiple samples for different velocities (Dynamic Sampling); that
is, different samples are used depending on how fast or strong you strike the keys.
The CLP-220 sounds much closer to a true acoustic piano.

Using the Pedals
Damper (Right) Pedal
The damper pedal functions in the same way as a
damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the
damper pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer.
Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any
sustained notes.
Sostenuto (Center) Pedal
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and
press the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are
held, those notes will sustain as long as you hold
the pedal (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.”
Soft (Left) Pedal
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.
When you press the damper pedal
here, the notes you play before you
release the pedal sustain longer.
When you press the sostenuto
pedal here while holding the note,
the note will sustain as long as you
hold the pedal.
If the damper pedal doesn’t
work, make sure that the pedal
cord is properly plugged into the
main unit (page 35).
Organ and string voices will
continue to sound for as long as
the sostenuto pedal is
depressed.

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, and lets 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 a song as though it were in C major, and the Clavinova will transpose it to the key of F.
Procedure
While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] buttons, press one of
the F2–F3 keys to set the desired amount of transposition.

Recording your Performance
Your Clavinova’s recording function enables you to record your performance of one song.
The recorded performance is called the “user song.”
Follow the steps below to record and play back your performance.
Audio recording and data recording
Cassette tape recordings use a different data format than the Clavinova.
Cassette tapes record audio signals. On the other hand, the Clavinova
records information about the notes and voices being played and about the
timing and tempo of those notes. It does not record audio signals. When
you play back a recorded performance on the Clavinova, its internal tone
generator reproduces the sound according to the recorded information.
CAUTION
Be careful not to erase the recorded data:
After you record a performance on the CLP-220, the [PLAY] button indicator lights
up. When this indicator remains on, recording another performance will erase the
recorded data.
ENGLISH
Procedure
You cannot engage Record mode
while a demo song is playing.
1. Select a voice and other settings for the recording.
While holding down the [PIANO/VOICE] button, press one of the C1–A1 keys
to select the desired voice(s). (See page 18.)
If you desire, you can select other settings, such as the reverb setting.
Use the [MASTER VOLUME] control to adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level. You can also use the [MASTER VOLUME] control to adjust the volume level during playback.
2. Engage Record mode.
Press the [REC] button.
Press the
[REC] button again if you wish to cancel Record mode.
3. Start recording.
Recording starts as soon as you play the keyboard.
Alternatively, press the [PLAY] button to start recording.
4. Stop recording.
Press the [REC] button.
23
Recording capacity
“Recording capacity” is the
maximum amount of performance data that you can
record. The CLP-220’s recording capacity is 65 KB (approximately 11,000 notes).
Changing the settings for the
recorded user song
To change the settings for the
recorded user song, engage
Record mode, change the settings
as you desire, then stop recording
without playing the keyboard.
For example, if you wish to
