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.
IMPORTANT
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.
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.
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.

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multipleconnector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause
overheating in the outlet.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be
used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• 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.
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme
cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the
day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the
internal components.
• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can
affect proper operation of the other products.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint
thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Also, do not place vinyl or plastic objects on the instrument, since this
might discolor the panel or keyboard.
• 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.
• 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.
• Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not
insert a finger or hand in the key cover gap.
• Never insert or drop paper or metallic or other objects between the slits of
the key cover and the keyboard. If this happens, immediately turn off the
power and remove the electric plug from the outlet and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/one-inch
from the wall), since this can cause inadequate air circulation, and possibly result in the instrument overheating.
• 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 operate the instrument 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 play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or
step-ladder 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 USER DATA
• Save all data to an external device such as the Yamaha DOU-10 Disk
Orchestra Unit in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a
malfunction or user operating error.
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.

1 AUX IN L/L+R 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/
L+R and R jacks, allowing the sound of the tone generator to be reproduced via the Clavinova’s internal sound system and speakers. A line-level
mono source can be connected to the L/L+R jack.
• The input signal from the AUX IN jacks is delivered to the AUX OUT jacks,
but is not affected by the Clavinova’s volume control or reverb effect.
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 right-channel signals are combined and delivered via the L/
L+R jack so you don’t lose any of the Clavinova’ s sound.
• The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either
directly or through external equipment.

control the Clavinova. The MIDI THRU connector re-transmits any data
received at the MIDI IN connector, allowing “chaining” of several MIDI
instruments or other devices. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI
data generated by the Clavinova (e.g. note and velocity data produced by
playing the Clavinova keyboard).
More details on MIDI are given in “MIDI FUNCTIONS” on page 28.
