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 use the instrument/device or headphones 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 stepladder 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.
• 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
• The panel settings and certain other types of data will be lost if the power is
turned off before they have been saved. Be sure to save (back up) data you want
to keep to the internal Flash Memory before turning off the power (page 55).
Keep in mind that this data is for temporary backup purposes and may be
inadvertently lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Make sure to save
all your important data to computer for permanent safekeeping (page 62).

Panel Controls and Terminals
The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-240/230 digital piano provides natural, expressive grand piano sound and playability, and
features Yamaha’s original “AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling (CLP-240)/AWM Stereo Sampling (CLP-230)” tone-generation technology for rich, musical voices.
The CLP-240/230 Grand Piano 1 and 2 voices feature samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert grand piano.
The CLP-240 Grand Piano 1 voice features three velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), special “Sustain Sampling” (page 51) that samples the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings when the
damper pedal is pressed, and “Keyoff Samples” that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released.
The CLP-240/230 also utilizes a “GH3 (Graded Hammer 3)” Keyboard that varies the key weight according to the key
range. Moreover, this specially crafted keyboard lets you use techniques only possible on grand pianos, such as playing the
same note successively and having the sounds blend smoothly even without use of the damper pedal, or playing the same
key quickly and having perfect articulation without the sound cutting off unnaturally. With these features, the CLP-240/
230 comes much closer to the sound of a true acoustic piano.
(The panel illustration is taken from the CLP-240)
Demonstration playback is available for each voice.

Select the desired voice by pressing one of the Voice buttons.
Then, when you start playing, re-adjust the [MASTER VOLUME] slider for the most
comfortable listening level.
NOTE
To learn characteristics of the
voices, listen to demo songs for
each voice (page 14). Refer to
“Preset Voice List” on page 71 for
more information on the characteristics of each preset voice.
TERMINOLOGY
Voice:
On the Clavinova, a voice means
a “tone” or “tonal color.”
NOTE
You can control the loudness of a
voice by adjusting the force with
which you strike the keys,
although different playing styles
(touch sensitivities) have little or
no effect with certain musical
instruments.
Refer to “Preset Voice List” on
page 71.

CLP-240/230Owner’s Manual

Page 20
Selecting & Playing Voices
Using the Pedals
The Clavinova has three foot pedals that produce a range
of expressive effects similar to those produced by the
pedals on an acoustic piano.
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.
When you select the GRAND PIANO 1 voice on the CLP240, pressing the damper pedal activates the instrument’s
special “Sustain Samples” to accurately recreate the
ENGLISH
unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings. A “half-pedal” effect lets you use the
damper pedal to create partial sustain effects, depending
on how far down you press the pedal.
When you press the damper
pedal here, the notes you
play before you release the
pedal have a longer sustain.
NOTE
If the damper pedal doesn’t work,
make sure that the pedal cord is
properly plugged into the main
unit (page 67).
NOTE
The depth of the effect produced
by the “Sustain Samples” can be
adjusted via the “Pedal Functions” (page 51) in Function
mode.
NOTE
When the DDE effect is on, you
can hear a simulation of the sustain sound of the damper pedal
on a grand piano, as you press
the damper pedal and play the
keyboard (page 22).
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 sostenuto pedal here while holding
the note, the note will sustain
as long as you hold the pedal.
NOTE
Organ, string and choir voices will
continue to sound for as long as
the sostenuto pedal is depressed.
NOTE
The left pedal can be assigned to
song play/pause operation or
variation function (CLP-240) via
the “Left Pedal Mode” described
on page 51.

Lets you alter another aspect of the effect, depending on the selected type.
Refer to “Preset Voice List” on page 71 for more information on the characteristics of
each variation.
Procedure
Pressing the [VARIATION] or selected voice button toggles the variation on and off.
The indicator lights (ON) each time the [VARIATION] button is pressed.
[BRILLIANCE]
This control can be used to change the tonality or “timbre” of the sound output.
BRIGHT:Bright tone
NORMAL: Standard tone
MELLOW: Soft and mellow tone
Procedure
To select a brilliance type, press the [BRILLIANCE] button a few times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type lights (the indicator lights in sequence each time
you press the [BRILLIANCE] button). Brilliance can be selected among five types. When
two adjacent indicators are lit, the type that is between the two indicated types is
selected. For example, when both NORMAL and MELLOW are lit, the brilliance setting between NORMAL and MELLOW is selected. This parameter affects the entire
sound of the instrument.

TERMINOLOGY
Normal setting:
The “Normal setting” refers to the

ON or OFF the variation via the
“Left Pedal Mode” function
described on page 51 (CLP-240).
NOTE

NOTE
When the BRILLIANCE is set to
BRIGHT, the overall sound will be

sound may become distorted. If
so, lower the MASTER VOLUME

ENGLISH
[REVERB]
This control enables you to select various digital reverb effects that would add extra
depth and expression to the sound to create a realistic acoustic ambience.
OFF:When no reverb effect is selected, no REVERB indicator is lit.
ROOM: This setting adds a continuous reverb effect to the sound, similar to the
acoustic reverberation you would hear in a room.
HALL 1: For a “bigger” reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting. This effect simulates
the natural reverberation of a small-size concert hall.
HALL 2: For a truly spacious reverb sound, use the HALL 2 setting. This effect simu-
lates the natural reverberation of a large concert hall.
STAGE: Simulates the reverb of a stage environment.
NOTE
The default reverb type (including
OFF) and depth settings are different for each voice.
CLP-240/230Owner’s Manual
21
Page 22
Selecting & Playing Voices
Procedure
Pressing the [REVERB] button repeatedly toggles the reverb on and off.

buttons while holding the [EFFECT] button.
The depth range is from 0 through 20. The current depth setting appears on the LED
display while the [EFFECT] button is held.
[DDE] (CLP-240)
The DDE (Dynamic Damper Effect) lets you hear a simulation of the sustain sound of
the damper pedal on a grand piano, as you press the damper pedal and play the keyboard. This effect is applied to the entire sound of the instrument.
Procedure
Pressing the [DDE] button repeatedly toggles the DDE on and off.
Adjusting DDE Depth
You can adjust the DDE depth by using the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons while holding

Tr ansposition – [TRANSPOSE]
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 a
song as though it were in C major, and the Clavinova will transpose it to the key of F.

Recording Your Performance
The ability to record and play back what you’ve played on the CLP240/230 keyboard can be an effective practice aid. You can, for example, record just the left-hand part, and then practice the right-hand
part while playing back the recorded left-hand part. Or, since you can
record up to two parts separately, you could record the left- and righthand parts separately, or record both parts of a duet and hear how they
sound when played back. The two-part Song Recorder on the CLP240/230 allows the recording of up to three User songs (U01-U03) to
the instrument. On the CLP-240, the User songs can be saved to an
optional USB storage device.
TERMINOLOGY
Recording vs. Saving:
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. The Clavinova “saves” information 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 Your Performance
NOTE
You can record your performance
(audio data) to a cassette tape
recorder or other recording
device via the AUX OUT jack
(page 56).
ENGLISH
Recording a performance quickly
This convenient and simple recording method lets you quickly record
your performance without specifying the recording parts—useful, for
example, in recording solo piano pieces.
In this way, the performance is automatically recorded to right part.

3. Start recording.
Press the [REC] button to engage Record Ready mode. This automatically selects
an empty song for recording and makes the RIGHT part active. If an empty
song does not exist, Song U01 will be selected. Recording does not actually start
yet.
The amount of memory available for recording will be shown on the LED display in approximate kilobytes. The SONG [PLAY/PAUSE] indicator will flash at
the current METRONOME tempo setting.
You can turn on the metronome in this step, and adjust the tempo by using the
[TEMPO/FUNCTION# ▼, ▲] buttons. (Range: 32-280)
Record Ready mode can be disengaged before recording by pressing the [REC]
button again.
Recording will begin automatically as soon as you play a note on the keyboard
or press the SONG [PLAY/PAUSE] button. The current measure’s number will
appear on the display while recording.
NOTE
The amount of memory available for recording:
This value in kilobytes (a unit
used of measurement for data)
indicates how much space
remains available for recording on
the Clavinova. You can record up
to a maximum of about 11,000
notes on the CLP-240/230
depending on pedal usage and
other factors.
NOTE
If you have selected the LEFT
part previously in the same song,
the LEFT part will automatically
be made active when pressing
the [REC] button in step 2.
NOTE
If the metronome was on when
you started recording, you’ll be
able to keep time with the metronome while recording, but the
metronome sound will not be
recorded.

For more recording information,
see page 33.
4. Stop recording.
Press either [REC] or SONG [STOP] button to stop recording. When recording is
stopped, dashes appear in the display in succession to indicate that the recorded
data is being saved to the instrument automatically. After the data is saved, the
song name (U01-U03) appears in the display. The recorded part’s indicator will
glow green to indicate that it now contains data. (Record mode is disengaged
automatically.)
CAUTION
Do not turn off the power of the instrument when dashes appear in the display in succession. Doing so may delete all song data in the instrument, including external songs
(page 40).
5. Play back the recorded performance.
Press the SONG [PLAY/PAUSE] button to play back the recorded performance.
To stop playback in the middle of a song, press the SONG [STOP] button.
NOTE
The left pedal can be assigned to
start recording via the “Left Pedal
Mode” function described on
page 51.
NOTE
The record part indicator will
begin to flash when the recorder
memory is almost full. If the memory becomes full during recording, “Full” will appear on the
display and recording will stop
automatically. (All recorded data
up to that point will be retained.)
NOTE
Pressing the SONG [PLAY/
PAUSE] button to start recording,
then pressing the SONG [STOP]
button to stop recording will erase
all previously- recorded data on
the selected part.

storage device. 100 containers are available — S00-S99.
Since the User songs are saved in SMF format, they can be played back on other instruments, including other Clavinovas.
With this file format, you cannot re-record on the CLP-240. Songs in this format can be
directly played back from the USB storage device, and do not need to be previously
loaded to the instrument.
For details on the export operation, see “Exporting a Song in SMF format” on page 37.

TERMINOLOGY
SMF (Standard MIDI File):
The SMF (Standard MIDI File) format is one of the most common
and widely compatible sequence
formats used for storing sequence
data. There are two variations:
Format 0 and Format 1. A large
number of MIDI devices are compatible with SMF Format 0, and
most commercially available MIDI
sequence data is provided in SMF
Format 0. The SMF format for
sequence files allows you to
exchange song data between different sequencers. User songs
recorded on the CLP-240 are
exported as SMF Format 0.

Sequence formats that can be played on the CLP-240/230
• SMF (Standard MIDI File) Formats 0 and 1
The SMF format is one of the most common and widely compatible sequence formats used
for storing sequence data. There are two variations: Format 0 and Format 1. A large number
of MIDI devices are compatible with SMF Format 0, and most commercially available MIDI
sequence data is provided in SMF Format 0. The SMF format for sequence files allows you to
exchange song data between different sequencers. User songs recorded on the CLP-240 are
exported as SMF Format 0.
• ESEQ
This sequence format is compatible with many of Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the
Clavinova series instruments. This is a common format used with various Yamaha software.
In the ESEQ files, only DOC (Disk Orchestra Collection) files and Disklavier Piano Soft songs
can be played back on this instrument.
50 Piano Preset Songs in the instrument.
User songs which you recorded to the instrument by using the record function
(page 29).
User files which you saved recorded song data to the USB storage device (page 35).
SMF songs which you exported recorded song data to the USB storage device
(page 35).
Commercially available songs or songs which have been edited on a computer, etc.
and stored to a USB storage device. Up to 999 songs can be played back on this
instrument (numbers 001-999).
Songs transferred from a computer (including commercially available songs and
songs which have been edited on a computer). Songs can be transferred (saved) to
the instrument by using the included Musicsoft Downloader software. The songs are
saved to an area of the internal memory separate from the area for recorded User
songs. Up to 255 songs can be played back on this instrument (numbers 001-255).
NOTE
You cannot select songs in Demo
Song mode (page 14) or during
file operations (page 35).
NOTE
When playing back songs containing various voices or parts
(such as XG or GM songs), the
voices may not sound correct or
as intended on the original. You
may be able to remedy this and
make the playback sound more
natural or appropriate by changing the Song Channel Selection
setting (page 51) to “1&2,” so that
only channels 1 and 2 will play
back.
NOTE
If the song cannot be selected or
loaded, you may need to change
the Character Code setting
(page 55).
NOTE
Song data is not transmitted via
the MIDI connections. However,
channels 3-16 of DOC songs,
Disklavier Piano Soft songs, and
non-protected External songs will
be transmitted via the MIDI connections depending on the Song
Channel Selection setting
(page 51).
NOTE
Appropriate channels in the song
will automatically be assigned to
[RIGHT] and [LEFT]. Therefore,
[RIGHT] may be assigned to a
part other than channel 1, or
[LEFT] to a part other than channel 2.
NOTE
For the USB storage device,
folder directories on this instrument can be recognized up to
two levels. However, the level is
not displayed and song numbers
001-999 are displayed whichever
level the song contains.
NOTE
If the metronome is being used
during playback, the metronome
will automatically stop when playback is stopped.
NOTE
If the REVERB type is changed
via the panel controls during playback, both the playback and keyboard reverb effects will be
changed.
NOTE
If the EFFECT type is changed via
the panel controls during playback,
the playback effect may be
switched off in some cases.

Useful Playback Functions
Turning part playback on and off
When you select a song on the Clavinova, the indicators for parts that contain
data (one of [RIGHT] [LEFT] or both) are lit in green. While the Clavinova is playing or
stopped, pressing these part buttons turns off the indicators, and the data on those
parts is not played. Pressing the part buttons toggles part playback on and off.
Starting playback automatically when you start playing the keyboard
(Sync Start)
You can start playback as soon as you start playing the keyboard. This is called the
“Sync Start” function.
To engage the Sync Start function, press the SONG[PLAY/PAUSE] button while hold-
ing down the SONG [STOP] button. The SONG [PLAY/PAUSE] lamp will flash at the
current tempo.
(Repeat the previous operation to disengage the Sync Start function.)
Playback will then start as soon as you begin playing on the keyboard.
This function is useful when you wish to match the timing of the beginning of the playback sound and the start of your own performance.
NOTE
Parts can be turned on or off
before or during playback.
NOTE
You can adjust the volume of a
part of a song for which playback
is turned off (pages 17, 52).
TERMINOLOGY
Sync:
Synchronized; occurring at the

Assigning the PLAY/PAUSE function to the left pedal
The left pedal can also be assigned to song play/pause operation via the “Pedal Play/
Pause” (page 51). This is convenient for starting playback of the song anytime after you
have started playing.

F2. Selecting a Scale
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 these tunings with
the Clavinova.
Equal Temperament
One octave is divided into twelve equal intervals. Currently the most popular piano tuning scale.
PureMajor/PureMinor
Based on natural overtones, three major chords using
ENGLISH
these scales produce a beautiful, pure sound.
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. The scale
became popular during the late 16th century through the
late 18th century, and was used by Handel.

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 often used today
to reproduce the music of that era on harpsichords.

MIDI Transmit Channel Selection
In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the
transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched
for proper data transfer.
This parameter enables you to specify the channel on
which the Clavinova transmits MIDI data.
Setting range: 1 – 16, OFF (not transmitted)
Normal setting: 1
NOTE
In Dual mode, Voice 1 data is transmitted on its specified channel. In Split mode (CLP-240), right voice data is transmitted on
its specified channel. In Dual mode, Voice 2 data is transmitted
on the next greater channel number relative to the specified
channel. In Split mode (CLP-240), left voice data is transmitted
on the next greater channel number relative to the specified
channel. In either mode, no data is transmitted if the transmit
channel is set to “OFF.”
NOTE
Song data is not transmitted via the MIDI connections. However,
channels 3-16 of DOC songs, Disklavier Piano Soft songs, and
non-protected External songs will be transmitted via the MIDI
connections depending on the Song Channel Selection setting
(page 51).
In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the
transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched
for proper data transfer. This parameter enables you to
specify the channel on which the Clavinova receives
MIDI data.
Setting range: ALL, 1&2, 1 – 16
Normal setting: ALL
NOTE
ALL:
“Multi-timbre” Receive mode. This allows simultaneous reception
of different parts on all 16 MIDI channels, enabling the Clavinova
to play multi-channel song data received from a music computer
or sequencer.
1&2:
“1&2” Receive mode. This allows simultaneous reception on
channels 1 and 2 only, enabling the Clavinova to play 1 and 2
channel song data received from a music computer or
sequencer.
NOTE
Program change and other like channel messages received will
not affect the CLP-240/230’s panel settings or the notes you play
on the keyboard.
NOTE
No MIDI reception occurs when Demo mode is engaged or during file operations (CLP-240).
F8.4: (CLP-240)/F7.4:(CLP-230)
Program Change ON/OFF
Normally the CLP-240/230 will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an external keyboard or other MIDI device, causing the
correspondingly-numbered voice to be selected on the
corresponding channel (the keyboard voice does not
change). The CLP-240/230 will normally also send a
MIDI program change number whenever one of its
voices is selected, causing the correspondingly-numbered voice or program to be selected on the external
MIDI device if the device is set up to receive and respond
to MIDI program change numbers.
This function makes it possible to cancel program
change number reception and transmission so that
voices can be selected on the CLP-240/230 without
affecting the external MIDI device.
NOTE
For information on program change numbers for each of the
CLP-240/230’s voices, refer to page 81 in the MIDI Data Format
section.

ENGLISH
F8.3: (CLP-240)/F7.3:(CLP-230)
Local Control ON/OFF
“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the
CLP-240/230 keyboard controls its internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly
from the keyboard. This situation is “Local Control On,”
since the internal tone generator is controlled locally by
its own keyboard.
Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the
CLP-240/230 keyboard does not play the internal voices,
but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted
via the MIDI OUT terminal when notes are played on
the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI
IN terminal.
Setting range: ON/OFF
Normal setting: ON
Normally the CLP-240/230 will respond to MIDI control
change data received from an external MIDI device or
keyboard, causing the voice on the corresponding channel to be affected by pedal and other “control” settings
received from the controlling device (the keyboard voice
is not affected).
The CLP-240/230 also transmits MIDI control change
information when the pedal or other appropriate controls are operated.
This function makes it possible to cancel control change
data reception and transmission so that, for example, the
CLP-240/230’s pedal and other controls can be operated

Backup Functions
TERMINOLOGY
Backup:
You can back up some settings, such as voice selection and
reverb type, so that they will not be lost when you turn off the
power to the Clavinova.
If the backup function is turned on, the settings at power off are
effective. If the backup function is turned off, the settings in
memory are erased when you turn off the power. In this case,
when you turn on the power to the unit, the default settings (the
initial settings) will be used. (The factory setting default list is
found on page 78.)
However, the backup settings themselves, the contents of
the user song recorder memory, and character code setting are always backed up.
You can turn the backup function on or off for
each function group (each of the following
sub-mode functions).
1. Engage the Function mode and select
(CLP-240)/ (CLP-230).
2. Press the [+/YES] button to engage the

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.
NOTE
MIDI performance data and commands are transferred in the form
of numeric values.
NOTE
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 appears on page 84.

memory reader/writer, etc., can be connected to the
USB [TO DEVICE] terminal. Other
USB devices such as a computer keyboard or mouse cannot be used.
The instrument does not necessarily support all commercially available USB storage devices.
Yamaha cannot guarantee operation of USB storage devices that you purchase. Before purchasing USB storage devices, please consult your Yamaha dealer, or an authorized Yamaha
distributor (see list at end of the Owner’s Manual) for advice, or visit the following web page:
Although CD-R/RW drives can be
used to read data to the instrument, they cannot be used for
saving data.
Do not use a non-ID SmartMedia
card.
NOTE
NOTE
ENGLISH
Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage device, or connecting/disconnecting the cable too often. Doing so may result in the operation of the instrument “freezing” or
hanging up. While the instrument is accessing data (such as during Save, Export, Copy, Delete,
Load and Format operations) or is mounting the USB storage device (shortly after the connection:
until the FILE LOAD LED flash stops), do NOT unplug the USB cable, do NOT remove the media
from the device, and do NOT turn the power off to either devices. Doing so may corrupt the data
on either or both devices.
Connection to a USB storage device
This instrument has two USB [TO DEVICE] terminals; one on the left of the panel and
one on the terminal at the bottom.
Both are the same terminal; however, both cannot be used at the same time. Use the
[SELECT] switch to select the desired terminal. Switching to “A” selects the terminal on
the left of the panel, while switching to “B” selects the terminal panel at the bottom.

NOTE
Number of USB storage devices
Only one USB storage device can
be connected to the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal. This instrument can recognize only a single
drive in a USB storage device. If
one storage device contains more
than one drive, only one drive will
be automatically selected and
recognized.
NOTE
If you connect USB storage
devices to both USB [TO
DEVICE] terminals, the devices
may not operate properly.
NOTE
Though the instrument supports
the USB 1.1 standard, you can
connect and use a USB 2.0 storage device with the instrument.
However, note that the transfer
speed is that of USB 1.1.
CAUTION
While the instrument is accessing data (such as in the Save, Export, Load, Delete or Format operations) or is mounting the USB storage device (shortly after the connection: until the FILE LOAD
LED flash stops), do NOT use the [SELECT] switch. Doing so may corrupt the media or data.
CAUTION
Disconnect the optional USB storage device connected to the [USB TO DEVICE] A terminal before
closing the key cover. Closing the cover with the device still connected may damage the device.
Formatting USB storage media
When executing a file-related operation with a connected USB storage device, a “For”
message may appear, indicating that the device or media may be unformatted. If this
happens, format the media (page 39).
CAUTION
The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. Proceed with caution.

Insert the AC power cord plug into the AC
INLET.
For models that feature a voltage selector:
Set the voltage selector to an appropriate voltage.
Voltage Selector
Before connecting the AC power cord, check the setting of the voltage selector which is provided in some
areas. To set the selector for 110V, 127V, 220V or 240V
main voltages, use a “minus” screwdriver to rotate the
selector dial so that the correct voltage for your region
appears next to the pointer on the panel. The voltage
selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially
shipped. After the proper voltage has been selected,
connect the AC power cord to the AC INLET and an
AC wall outlet. A plug adaptor may be also provided
in some areas to match the pin configuration of the
AC wall outlets in your area.
WARNING
An improper voltage setting can cause serious
damage to the Clavinova or result in improper
operation.

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks (CLP-240)
Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD)
and Floppy Disks (CLP-240)
An optional floppy disk drive can be installed to the
CLP-240. For instructions on installing the floppy disk
drive, see page 70.
The floppy disk drive lets you save original data you’ve
created on the instrument to floppy disk, and allows you
to load data from floppy disk to the instrument.
Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive
with care. Follow the important precautions below.
Floppy Disk Compatibility
• 3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.
Formatting a Floppy Disk
•If you find that you are unable to use new, blank disks or
old disks that have been used with other devices, you
may need to format them. For details on how to format a
disk, see page 39. Keep in mind that all data on the disk
will be lost after formatting. Make sure to check beforehand whether or not the disk contains important data.
n
Floppy disks formatted on this device may or may not be useable
as is on other devices.
Inserting/Removing Floppy Disks
Inserting 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.
n
Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other
objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disks.
Removing a Floppy Disk
•After checking that the instrument is not accessing* the
floppy disk (checking that the use lamp on the floppy
disk drive is off), firmly press the eject button at the
upper right of the disk slot all the way in.
When the floppy disk is ejected, pull it out of the drive. If
the floppy disk cannot be removed because it is stuck, do
not try to force it, but instead try pressing the eject button again, or try re-inserting the disk and attempt to
eject it again.
*Access of the disk indicates an active operation, such as
recording, playback, or deletion of data.
If a floppy disk is inserted while the power is on, the disk is
automatically accessed, since the instrument checks
whether the disk has data.
CAUTION
Do not remove the floppy disk or turn off the instrument itself
while the disk is being accessed.
Doing so may result not only in loss of data on the disk but also
damage to the floppy disk drive.
•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.
About Floppy Disks
Handle floppy disks with care, and follow
these precautions:
•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.
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). When saving data, make sure that the disk’s writeprotect tab is set to the “overwrite” position (tab closed).
