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 rear 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 instrument, refer to the instructions at the end of this manual.

Handling caution
Using the bench (If included)
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:
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it
might accidentally fall over.
• When transporting or moving the instrument, always use two
or more people. Attempting to lift the instrument by yourself
may damage your back, result in other injury, or cause damage
to the instrument itself.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you
are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction
occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect
the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned
off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum
level. When you are not using the product for a long time,
make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or
instrument. Also take care that the key cover does not pinch
your finger.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the
gaps on the key cover, panel or keyboard. This could cause
physical injury to you or others, damage to the instrument or
other property, or operational failure.
• 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.
• 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.
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.

Main Features
Real Grand Expression (RGE) Sound Engine
This lets you enjoy the playing response and expressive capability of a concert grand piano. In addition to providing
smooth tonal changes that respond to your playing touch, it also features a new Smooth Release function which can
clearly enunciate staccato notes and produce the sound of lingering resonance when gently lifting your fingers from the
keys. These effects capture the true essence of an acoustic grand piano to help you create and perform with luscious
piano-like expression.
Highly evolved touch and expression: Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) keyboard (CLP-430/
465GP) and Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) keyboard with synthetic ivory keytops (CLP440/S406)
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 repetitive striking
techniques, as with a grand piano.
The CLP-440/S406 feature synthetic ivory keytops which simulates the moderate hygroscopic characteristics of real ivory
and offers a less slippery surface, smooth key movement, and a warm and inviting color.
NW (Natural Wood) keyboard with synthetic ivory keytops and Linear Graded
Hammer (CLP-470/S408)
In addition to the features offered by the GH3 keyboard with the synthetic ivory top model, the CLP-470/S408 uses
natural wood for the inside of the white keys (NW keyboard), and utilizes the Linear Graded Hammer feature, in which
the hammer weight of all keys is different, just as on an acoustic piano. These features provide a heavier weighted touch
that surpasses that of conventional electronic pianos and is closer in feel to a grand piano.
Audio Playing and Recording from a USB Flash Memory
Audio files (.wav) saved to a USB storage device such as a USB flash memory can be played back on the instrument.
Moreover, since you can record your performance as audio data to a USB flash memory device, it is possible to listen to
your performance on portable music players, with the data transferred by computer.

Getting Started — Playing the Clavinova as a Piano
Be careful to avoid catching your fingers
when opening or closing the cover.
With the full set of pedals and expressive keyboard, this instrument can be played just like a real acoustic
piano. This section shows you how to simply set up the instrument and play it. It also shows you how to use
the built-in metronome, convenient for practice purposes. We’ve also included for your piano-playing
pleasure “50 greats for the Piano,” a score book to help you master the instrument.
Key Cover
CAUTI ON
• Hold the cover with both hands when opening or closing it. Do not release it until it is fully opened or closed. Be careful to avoid catching
fingers (yours or others, especially children’s) between the cover and the unit.
• Do not place objects such as a piece of metal or paper on top of the key cover. Small objects placed on the key cover may fall inside the
unit when the cover is opened and may be nearly impossible to remove. This could cause electric shock, short circuit, fire or other
serious damage to the instrument.
NOTICE
• Disconnect the optional USB storage device connected to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal before closing the key cover. Closing the cover
with the device still connected may damage the device.
• (CLP-S408/S406) When transporting the instrument, cover the entire keyboard with the protective sheet (pages 76, 80) before closing the
key cover. The sheet will protect the keyboard from being scratched.
470 440 430 S408 S406 465GP
To o pe n t he k ey c ov e r :
Lift the cover slightly, then push and slide it to the end completely so that
both the panel buttons and keyboard are visible. In this condition, you can
make various panel operations such as Voice selection and Song recording/
playback as well as playing the keyboard.
To c lo s e t he ke y c ov er :
Slide the cover toward you and gently lower the cover over the keys.
You can open the key cover so that only the keyboard appears. This hides
the “electronic” panel controls and lets you feel as if you’re playing an actual
acoustic piano.
470 440 430 S408 S406 465GP
To o pe n t he k ey c ov e r :

1. Connect the power cord.
First insert the plug of the power cable into the AC connector on the Clavinova, then plug the other
end of the cable into the proper AC outlet on the wall. In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to
match the pin configuration of the AC wall outlets in your area. For more information on connecting
the power cord, refer to the assembly instructions on page 69.
WARNING
Make sure your instrument is rated for the AC voltage supplied in the area in which it is to be used (voltage rating appears 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 AC IN. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. Connecting the unit to the wrong AC supply
can cause serious damage to the internal circuitry and may even pose a shock hazard!
Use only the AC power cord supplied with your instrument. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and needs to be replaced,
contact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a fire and shock hazard!
The type of AC power cord provided with your instrument may be different depending on the country in which it is purchased. (In
some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin configuration of the AC wall outlets in your area.) Do NOT modify the
plug provided with your instrument. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Using the pedals
When you press the damper
pedal here, the notes you play
before you release the pedal
have a longer sustain.
NOTE
The pedals are covered with vinyl
covers when shipped from the
factory. If your instrument features
the GP Responsive Damper
Pedal, remove the cover from the
damper pedal for optimum use of
the pedal effect.
NOTE
The center and left pedals can
also be assigned to song start/
pause operation ([PLAY/PAUSE]
function) in the Function mode
(page 51).
When you press the sostenuto
pedal here while holding the
note, the note will sustain as
long as you hold the pedal.
NOTE
When you select the Jazz Organ
Voice, the ROTARY SP of the
[EFFECT] section (page 25) is
automatically selected and the
Left pedal functions to switch the
rotary speed of the rotary speaker.
The Clavinova has three foot pedals: damper pedal
(right), sostenuto pedal (center), and soft pedal (left)
that produce a range of expressive effects similar to
those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.
Damper (Right) Pedal
When this pedal is pressed, the sound is sustained,
even when the keys are released. When this is used
with one of the Grand Piano Voices, a special
resonance effect is added, which effectively
reproduces the rich, resonant sound of the frame and
soundboard of a real acoustic piano. The depth of this
resonance effect can be set in the Function parameters
(page 51).
Half-pedal function
This instrument also has a Half-pedal function which allows you to use half-damper techniques, in which the
damper is pressed somewhere between all the way down and all the way up. In this half-damper state (on a
real piano), the damper felts only partially mute the strings. The Half-pedal function on the Clavinova lets
you delicately and expressively control the damper muting, and create subtle nuances in your performance. It
also lets you finely control the point at which pressure on the pedal affects the damper muting. (See the
Function mode parameters on page 51.)
GP Responsive Damper Pedal
This special pedal (only on the CLP-470/S408) has been designed to provide enhanced tactile response and,
when pressed, is much closer in feel to the pedal of an actual grand piano. It makes it easier to physically
experience the half-pedal point and more easily apply the half-pedal effect than other pedals. Since the
pressing sensation may vary depending on the situation, including the location where the instrument is
installed, you may want to adjust the half-pedal point to the desired setting (page 51).
Sostenuto (Center) Pedal
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press
the sostenuto pedal while holding the note(s), the notes
will sustain as long as the pedal is held. Organ, string
and choir Voices will continue to sound for as long as
the sostenuto pedal is depressed. All subsequent notes
will not sustain.
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 or sustaining when it is pressed. Press the pedal immediately
before you play the target notes.

Maintenance
To keep your Clavinova in optimum condition, we recommend that
you periodically follow the maintenance points below.
Instrument and Bench Maintenance
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.
NOTICE
Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
If you are using 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.
To keep the surface polished, apply commercially available piano polisher to a soft cloth and wipe the
instrument’s surface with it. Then, polish it with a separate cloth. Before using any piano polisher,
make sure to read the instructions for proper usage.
• Tighten the screws of the instrument and bench periodically.
Bench Height Adjustment
The bench height can be adjusted by rotating the handle. Rotating clockwise heightens the bench.
(Before shipment, the handle is firmly fastened.)
Pedal Cleaning
As with an acoustic piano, pedals may become tarnished over years of use. When this occurs, polish the
pedal with a compound designed for piano pedals. Before using the compound, make sure to read the
instructions for proper usage.
Tuning
Unlike an acoustic piano, the instrument does not need to be tuned. It always stays perfectly in tune.
Tr an sp or t in g
You can transport the instrument along with other belongings. You can move the unit as it is
(assembled) or you can disassemble the unit down to the condition it was in when you first took it out of
the box. 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.
When transporting the assembled instrument, make sure all screws are properly tightened and have not
been loosened by moving the instrument.
NOTICE
(CLP-S408/S406) When transporting the instrument, cover the entire keyboard with the protective sheet (pages 75,
80) before closing the key cover. The sheet will protect the keyboard from being scratched.

NOTE
Songs recorded by this
instrument are called User Songs.
Songs created in other ways than
by this instrument are called
External Songs. The USB storage
device stores User Songs in

This instrument can play Preset Songs, User Songs (you recorded), or commercially available Songs. In
addition to listening to these Songs, you can play the keyboard as the Song plays back. The Songs reside on
internal memory and the external USB storage device connected to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal.
MIDI Songs and Audio Songs
There are two kinds of Songs that can be recorded and played back on this instrument:
MIDI Songs and Audio Songs.
A MIDI Song is comprised of your keyboard performance information and is not a
recording of the actual sound itself. The performance information refers to which keys are
played, at what timing, and at what strength—just as in a musical score. Based on the
recorded performance information, the tone generator (of the Clavinova, etc.) outputs the
corresponding sound. A MIDI S ong uses a small amount of data capacity in comparison to
audio recording, and allows you to easily change the event like a Voice.
An Audio Song is a recording of the performed sound itself. This data is recorded in the
same way as that used in recording cassette tapes, or with voice recorders, etc. This data
can be played with a portable music player, etc., allowing you to easily let other people hear
your performance.
Songs compatible with this instrument
Songs are contained in one of four different memory locations, called “Drives” on this instrument. The four
