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.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
• 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.

1 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.
CAUTION
• When the Clavinova’s AUX OUT jacks are connected to an external sound system, first turn
the Clavinova power on, and then the power to the external amplifier/speaker system. Reverse
this order when turning the power off.
• 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.
2 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.

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).
