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.

PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock,
short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or
modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts.
If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and
have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill
into any openings.
• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden
loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or
smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power
CAUTION
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:
switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required
voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the
outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may
have accumulated on it.
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators,
and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy
objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over,
or roll anything over it.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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. 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.
• 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, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might
discolor the panel or keyboard.
•
On the CLP-880PE, 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.
• On the CLP-880PE, 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.
(1)B-6vari.
• (For instruments with a key cover) Take care that the key cover does not
pinch your fingers, and do not insert a finger or hand in the key cover gap.
• (For instruments with a key cover) 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.
• (For height-adjustable benches) 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 MIDI Data Filer MDF3,
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 controlled by the Clavinova’s volume
and brilliance (CLP-880/860/840) controls. Reverb and effect (CLP-880/860/
840) functions will have no affect.
• The input signal from the AUX IN jacks is delivered to the AUX OUT jacks.
2 AUX OUT L/L+R and R Jacks
The AUX OUT L/L+R and R jacks deliver the output of the Clavino va 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.
• The AUX OUT jack signal is not controlled by the Clavinova’s volume control.
Use the volume control on the external audio equipment to adjust the level.

This terminal is for connecting the pedal cord from the pedal box (refer

4 MIDI IN, THRU 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 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 34.

This jack and selector switch allow direct connection to a personal
computer for sequencing and other music applications — without the need
for a separate MIDI interface. See page 38 for details.

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.
On the CLP-880/860, when GRAND PIANO, CLASSICAL PIANO, or JAZZ PIANO is selected the damper pedal also produces a
special “resonance” that simulates the ring of the strings and the sound
board of an acoustic piano.
The CLP-880/860 damper pedal additionally features continuous
damping. This allows you to create shorter effects by pressing the
damper pedal down only part of the way.
NOTE
• On the CLP-880/860, soundboard depth and damper pedal mode (switch/
continuous) settings can be changed using the “Pedal Functions” (page
32) in the function mode.
Sostenuto (Center) Pedal (except for CLP-820S) .....................
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.”
NOTE
• Organ and string voices will continue to sound for as long as the sostenuto pedal is depressed.
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 which are already playing when it is pressed.
The left pedal can also be assigned to song start/stop operation (or
sostenuto in the case of the CLP-820S) via the “Left Pedal Mode”
described on page 32.

TOUCH
To select a touch sensitivity type press the [TOUCH] button a few
times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type lights (the
indicators light in sequence each time the [TOUCH] button is pressed).
HARD
The HARD setting requires the keys to be played quite hard to
produce maximum loudness.
MEDIUM
The MEDIUM setting produces a fairly “standard” keyboard response.
This is the initial factory default setting.
SOFT
The SOFT setting allows maximum loudness to be produced with
relatively light key pressure.
FIXED (no indicator lit)
All notes are produced at the same volume no matter how hard the
keyboard is played.
When the FIXED type is selected, the volume of notes played in the
FIXED mode can be set by using the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons
while the [TOUCH] button is held (the current volume level appears on
the display). The volume range is from 1 through 127. The default
setting is 64.
NOTE
• This setting does not change the weight of the keyboard.
• The touch sensitivity type and volume set in the FIXED mode will become
the common setting for all voices.
TRANSPOSE
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 12
semitones (i.e. a maximum of one octave up or down). “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.
