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

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.

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:

•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-con- nector. 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.

•(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.

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.

2AUX 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 leftand 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.

3PEDAL Jack

This terminal is for connecting the pedal cord from the pedal box (refer to the “Keyboard Stand Assembly” on pages 48-67).

4MIDI 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.

5TO HOST Connector & HOST SELECT Switch

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.

● PHONES Jacks (Bottom Panel)

Two sets of standard stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private practice or late-night playing. The internal speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into either of the PHONES jacks.

NOTE • When the BRILLIANCE is set to BRIGHT, the overall sound will be slightly louder. If the MASTER VOLUME is set at a high level the sound may become distorted. If so, lower the MASTER VOLUME level.

CLP-880/860/840/820/820S 19

The Pedals

The CLP-820S has two and other models have three foot pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.

CLP-880/860/840/820

Soft pedal

Damper pedal Sostenuto pedal

CLP-820S

Damper pedal Soft/Sostenuto pedal

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.

20 CLP-880/860/840/820/820S

Touch Sensitivity

Four different types of keyboard touch sensitivity — HARD, MEDIUM, SOFT or FIXED — can be selected to match different playing styles and preferences.

HARD

MEDIUM

SOFT 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.

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.

SONG TRANSPOSE SELECT

–/NO +/YES

Use the [–/NO] or [+/YES] button while holding the [TRANSPOSE] button to transpose down or up as required. The transposition range is from “–12” (down one octave) through “0” (normal pitch) to “12” (up one octave). The amount of transposition appears on the LED display while the [TRANSPOSE] button is held. The default transpose setting is “0”.

NOTE • The [TRANSPOSE] button indicator remains lit when a transpose setting other than “0” is selected.

•Notes below and above the A-1 … C7 range of the Clavinova sound one octave higher and lower, respectively.
