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:
• 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,
• 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.
• (CLP-685, CLP-675, CLP-645, CLP-635) 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.
• (CLP-695GP, CLP-665GP) Since this product is very heavy, make sure that a
sufficient number of people are on hand to help, so you can lift and move it safely
and easily. Attempting to lift or move the instrument by force may damage your
back, result in other injury, or cause damage to the instrument itself.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent damage
to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.
• 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.
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.
• (CLP-685) Do not apply excessive force when closing the key cover. A key cover
equipped with the SOFT-CLOSE™ mechanism closes the cover slowly. Applying
excessive force to the key cover when closing it could damage the SOFTCLOSE™ mechanism, and possibly result in injury to your hands and fingers
caught under the closing key cover.
• 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.
• For benches that can be adjusted, do not 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 specified tool in order to prevent the possibility of accident
or injury.
• Keep special watch over any small children so that they don’t fall off the rear of
the bench. Since the bench does not have a backrest, unsupervised use may
result in accident or injury.
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.
Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (power lamp is off), electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.
When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

• 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.
Maintenance
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft and dry/slightly
damp cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, alcohol,
cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
• 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.
• During extreme changes in temperature or humidity,
condensation may occur and water may collect on the surface
of the instrument. If water is left, the wooden parts may
absorb the water and be damaged. Make sure to wipe any
water off immediately with a soft cloth.
• When cleaning the bench, use a soft and dry cloth (or, if
necessary, one that is slightly damp). Do not use paint
thinners, solvents, alcohol, cleaning fluids, or chemicalimpregnated wiping cloths.

Features
Full-scale piano performance
The CLP-685, CLP-675 and CLP-695GP feature a brand new keyboard, which reproduces the authentic touch and feel
of an actual grand piano. Its improved keyboard mechanism provides a wider range of touch response, with
exceptionally expressive control from pianissimo to fortissimo. Moreover, the keys have an even longer pivot point
distance (length from the front side to the pivot point), for more natural feeling, even when playing the inner part of a
key. In addition, all models feature piano sounds created with samples of the Yamaha CFX flagship concert grand piano
and the famed Vienna-made Bösendorfer grand piano. Moreover, the VRM function on all models simulates the
luscious resonance effect on acoustic pianos—where the sound of one string causes sympathetic vibration in other
strings and the soundboard. You can customize the piano sound (in a special “Piano Room” setting group) by adjusting
various parameters such as string resonance, damper resonance and touch response.
When headphones are connected, the piano sounds are automatically adjusted to impart a natural sound distance
sensation. Also, selecting the CFX Voice calls up a binaural sampling sound, enabling realistic, natural sound when
using headphones (page20). Altogether, these models deliver widely variegated and rich sounds that are faithful to
actual acoustic pianos.
* Bösendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.

Song playback for both listening enjoyment
and practice purposes
Also built into this instrument are 50 classical music masterpieces, plus 303 lesson Songs for mastering the piano. You
can simply enjoy listening to these built-in Songs, or use them for separate right-hand/left-hand practicing.* The 303
lesson Songs consist of practice pieces taken from various standard piano instruction manuals, including “The Virtuoso
Pianist.” Moreover, you can input the audio from a smart device to this instrument via Bluetooth** and hear it through
the built-in speakers of the instrument. Refer to page81 for details.
*The part on/off function is available only for MIDI songs that have both right- and left-hand parts.
**The models CLP-685, CLP-675, CLP-645, CLP-695GP and CLP-665GP are equipped with Bluetooth functionality; however, even these
models may not support Bluetooth, depending on the country in which you purchased the product. For information on whether Bluetooth
functionality is included or not, refer to page138.
page39
Twenty different rhythms
Playing along with one of the twenty basic rhythms built into the instrument is a great way to add excitement to your
performances. They feature a variety of different patterns from jazz, popular music, and the like, to give you what you
need to make playing more fun and lively.
Recording your performances
The instrument lets you save your performance to internal memory or a USB flash drive (sold separately). You can
record your performance using one of two methods, MIDI or Audio recording, according to your needs. MIDI
recording is ideal for making independent tracks—for example, recording a right-hand part to Track 1 first, and then a
left-hand part to Track 2—allowing you to create pieces that would be difficult to play live with both hands together.
Audio recording on the other hand, saves recorded data in stereo, CD-quality WAV format to a USB flash drive, for
storing to computer and playing on portable music players.

NOTE
Reproducing the Natural Sensation of Sound Distance
—Binaural Sampling and Stereophonic Optimizer
This instrument features two advanced technologies that allow you to enjoy
exceptionally realistic, natural sound, even when listening on headphones.
Binaural Sampling (“CFX Grand” Voice only)
Binaural sampling is a method that uses two special microphones set at the ear
position of a performer and records the sound from a piano as it is. Listening to the
sound with this effect through headphones gives the impression of being immersed
in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the piano. Moreover, you can
enjoy the sound naturally for a long time without ear strain. When the default voice,
“CFX Grand” (page 24) is selected, connecting the headphones automatically
enables the binaural sampling sound.
Stereophonic Optimizer (Voices in the Piano group other than
“CFX Grand”)
The Stereophonic Optimizer is an effect which reproduces natural sound distance
like the sound of binaural sampling even though you hear it on headphones. When
a Voice in the Piano group other than “CFX Grand” is selected, connecting the
headphones automatically enables the Stereophonic Optimizer.
When headphones are connected, the Voices in the Piano group automatically
change to the sound of Binaural Sampling or the sound enhanced with the
Stereophonic Optimizer, by the default settings. Since these sounds are optimized for
listening with headphones, we recommend that you set this function to “OFF” in the
following situations.
• Playing the piano sound of this instrument with an external powered speaker
system, while monitoring the sound output from this instrument on connected
headphones.
• Making an audio recording (page 52) and then playing that recorded audio Song
through speakers of this instrument. (Make sure to turn off these functions before
audio recording.)
You can set this setting On or Off via the “System” menu display. Press the
[FUNCTION] button repeatedly to call up the “System” menu display: “Sound” →
“Binaural” (page 96).
Using the headphone hanger
You can conveniently hang the headphones on the instrument when not using
them. Install the headphone hanger by following the instruction at the end of
this manual (CLP-685: page 116, CLP-675: page 119, CLP-645/635: page 122,
CLP-695GP: page 126, CLP-665GP: page 129).
Before connecting an external
powered speaker system, be
sure to read “Connections”
(page 69).
Do not hang anything other
than the headphones on the
hanger. Otherwise, the
instrument or the hanger may
be damaged.

damper pedal for optimum use
of the pedal effect.
When you press the sostenuto
pedal here while holding the
note(s), the notes will sustain as
long as you hold the pedal.
NOTE
While the sostenuto (center)
pedal is held, a sustained (nondecaying) type of Voice such
as strings or organ may sound
continuously without decay
after the notes have been
released.
NOTE
The center pedal or left pedal
can also be used as a [

assign this function via the
“System” menu display: Press

This instrument is equipped with three foot pedals:
damper pedal (right), sostenuto pedal (center), and
soft pedal (left).
Damper pedal (right pedal)
When you press the damper pedal, the notes you play
have a longer sustain.
When you select a Voice in the Piano group, pressing
the damper pedal activates the VRM (page 26) to
accurately recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic
grand piano’s soundboard and strings.
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,
by finely controlling the point at which pressure on the pedal affects the damper muting.
This can be set via the “System” menu display: Press the [FUNCTION] button repeatedly
to call up the “System” menu display: “Pedal”
“Half Pedal Point” (page 96).
Getting Started — Playing the Clavinova
GP Responsive Damper Pedal
The damper pedal of the CLP-685, CLP-675 and CLP-695GP is the GP Responsive
Damper Pedal. This special pedal 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 should adjust the
half-pedal point described above to the desired setting.
Sostenuto pedal (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. All
subsequent notes will not sustain.
Soft pedal (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. In order to apply this effect, play notes after pressing the
pedal.
Keep in mind that this pedal function will be changed from the Soft pedal
depending on the selected Voice. When the “Mellow Organ” is selected, pressing
and releasing this pedal switches between “fast” and “slow” of the Rotary Speaker
speed (“Rotary Speed” on page 87). When the Vibraphone is selected, this pedal
switches Vibrato on and off (“VibeRotor” on page 87).

What is VRM?
The VRM (Virtual Resonance Modeling) function uses sophisticated physical
modeling to simulate the actual string resonance sound that occurs when the
damper pedal on a real piano is pressed or keys are played and held.
On an actual acoustic piano, if you press the damper pedal and play a key, not
only does the string of the pressed key vibrate, it also causes other strings and
the soundboard to vibrate, with each influencing the rest, creating a rich and
brilliant resonance that sustains and spreads. The VRM (Virtual Resonance
Modeling) technology featured in this instrument reproduces the complicated
interaction of both string and soundboard resonance faithfully using a virtual
musical instrument (physical modeling), and makes the sound more like a real
acoustic piano. Since instantaneous resonance is made at the moment according
to the state of the keyboard or pedal, you can vary the sound expressively by
changing the timing of your pressing the keys, and the timing and depth of your
pressing the pedal.
What is Aliquot?
Aliquot is a stringing method for pianos that uses extra, un-struck strings in the
upper octaves to enhance the tone. These strings sympathetically vibrate with
other strings in an acoustic piano, resonating with overtones, and adding
richness, brilliance and complex color to the sound. Since they do not have a
damper, they will continue sounding even after you release your hands from the
keyboard.
