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

Contrôler la source d’alimentation
Vérifiez que la tension spécifiée sur le panneau arrière
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 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.

Taking Care Of Your Clavinova
Your Clavinova is a fine musical instrument, and deserves the most careful treatment. Observe the fol-
lowing points and your Clavinova will sound and look great for many years.
1 Never open the case and touch or tamper with the
internal 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.
4 Never place any vinyl products on your Clavinova.
Contact with vinyl can cause irreversible damage
to the finish.
5 Install your Clavinova in a place that is away from
direct sunlight, excessive humidity or heat.
6 Never apply excessive force to the controls,
connectors or other parts of your Clavinova, and
avoid scratching or bumping it with hard objects.
7 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.
● Name Plate Location
The CLP-311 name plate is located on the

1 AUX IN L and R Jacks
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.
2 AUX OUT L/L+R and R Jacks
The AUX OUT L/L+R and 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 left- and rightchannel 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-311 features a high-performance stereo amplifier delivering 20
watts per channel to a pair of 16-cm speaker units.
NOTE
• The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN
jacks, either directly or through external equipment.

IN OUT
3 MIDI IN and OUT Connectors
The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external
MIDI device (such as the DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit) which can
be used to control the Clavinova. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the Clavinova (e.g. note and velocity
data produced by playing the Clavinova keyboard).

Soft/Sostenuto
pedal
The Pedals
The CLP-311 has two foot pedals that produce a range of expressive effects
similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.
Soft/Sostenuto (Left) 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
Damper pedal
pedal while holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button again.
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 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.
NOTE
• Notes below and above the A-1 — C7 of the Clavinova sound one octave
higher and lower, respectively.

Pitch Control
Pitch control makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over a ±50-cent range
(approximate) 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.
