OWNER’S MANUAL
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.
For information on assembling the keyboard stand, refer to the instructions at the end of this manual.

(1)B-12 1/2
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
• (For polish-finished model) 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.
• (For polish-finished model) 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.
• 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
• Data in the instrument’s internal memory can be lost due to operational errors or
malfunction. Be sure to save any important data to external media via a
computer connected to the instrument. (page 78)

Features
Highly evolved touch and expression: Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) keyboard (CLP-330)
and Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) keyboard with artificial ivory top (CLP-340)
The Graded Hammer keyboard features natural grand-piano type key weights (heavier in the low range and lighter in
the higher range) providing a pleasant playability that is unmatched by conventional electronic pianos.
The Graded Hammer keyboard also offers superb playability for legato (without pedal operation) and repetitivestriking techniques, as with a grand piano. The CLP-340 feature an “artificial ivory” keyboard top, which simulates the
moderate hygroscopic characteristics of real ivory and offers a less slippery surface, smooth key movement, and a
warm and inviting color.
Ultimate natural playability: Natural Wood (NW) keyboard with artificial ivory top
(CLP-370)
In addition to the features offered by the GH3 keyboard with artificial ivory top model, the NW keyboard uses natural
wood for the inside of the white keys, as seen on an acoustic piano. This feature provides a heavier weighted touch
that surpasses that of conventional electronic pianos and is closer in feel to a grand piano.
Digital recording of a full-size concert grand piano sound (via AMW Dynamics
Stereo Sampling)
ENGLISH
This digital piano offers a rich and versatile range of sounds, which are created using Yamaha's proprietary sampling
tone-generation system, “AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling.”
AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) is a sampling system that creates sounds close to those of an acoustic instrument by
digitally recording the sounds of an instrument and applying high-quality digital filtering technology to the recorded
audio samples.
The sound waveform created by an acoustic piano differs depending on the player's strength of touch, from
pianissimo to fortissimo.
AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling can create extremely dynamic nuances by recording samples at various playing
strengths. The greater the number of samples used, the greater the resulting expressiveness of the instrument.
The piano voice “Grand Piano 1” features a totally new sample recorded from a full-size concert grand piano. Each
note in the sample has been adjusted meticulously so that the digital piano will play only the very best piano sounds.
The piano voices are well-separated sounds featuring a fast attack and a satisfying response.
The “Grand Piano 1” voice features multiple wave samples for different velocities (Dynamic Sampling). That is,
different samples are used depending on how fast or strong the player strikes the keys. Therefore, this voice
expresses detailed dynamics and sounds much closer to those of a true acoustic piano.
The CLP-370/340 creates a rich, luxurious sound using “Sustain Sampling,” which is a sample of the soundboard
and the resonance of the strings when the damper pedal is pressed. The instrument also features “Key-off Sampling,”
which is a sample of the very delicate noises that are caused when keys are released.
Internet Direct Connection function (CLP-370/340)
You can connect these digital piano models to the Internet, enabling you to access and enjoy a broad range of song
data files that are available on a dedicated website.

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.
The damper pedal also features a naturally expressive
half-pedal function.
When DAMPER RES. is on, the Clavinova simulates the
sustain sound that occurs when you press the damper
pedal of a grand piano, as you press the damper pedal
and play the keyboard.
When you press the damper
pedal here, the notes you
play before you release the
pedal have a longer sustain.
Selecting & Playing Voices
NOTE
If the damper pedal doesn’t work,
make sure that the pedal cord is
properly plugged into the jack
(pages 83, 86).
TERMINOLOGY:
Half-pedal:
While playing the piano with Sustain and you want to slightly mute
the sustained sound, release the
damper pedal from maximum
position to half position.
NOTE
The depth of the effect produced
by the “Sustain Samples” can be
adjusted via the “Sustain Sample
Depth” (page 66) in Function
mode.
ENGLISH
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

Depending on the conditions, one
effect type will take priority over
the other. The depth will be

like. Effect depth setting via the
panel controls (i.e. pressing the
[–/NO] or [+/YES] buttons while

Recording Your Performance
Recording Your Performance
The ability to record and play back what you’ve played on the instrument 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 right-hand parts separately, or record both parts of a duet and hear how they sound when
played back. The two-part Song Recorder on the instrument allows the
recording of up to three User songs (U01 – U03) to the instrument.
User songs can be saved to an optional USB storage device.
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.
2 4 4 3
CAUTION
To avoid erasing previously recorded song(s):
If the song contains data, the part indicator lights up green when you select a song.
Note that recording new data on this part will erase the existing data.
You cannot record the performance to the connected USB storage device directly. The
recorded songs are saved to the instrument automatically. If you want to save data to
the device, perform the Save operation (page 37) after stopping recording.
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.
