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 inférieur 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.

ESPAÑOL

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. En algunas zonas puede haberse incorporado un selector de tensión en el 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.

Introduction

Thank you for choosing a Yamaha Clavinova. Your Clavinova is a fine musical instrument that employs advanced Yamaha music technology. With the proper care, your Clavinova will give you many years of musical pleasure.

● The Clavinova CLP-950/930 digital piano offers unmatched sonic realism and natural grand-piano type playability with Yamaha’s original “AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling” tone generation technology on the CLP-950 and “AWM Stereo Sampling” on the CLP-930 for rich, musical voices, and a special “Graded Hammer” keyboard which provides graded key weight and response throughout the keyboard range. The grand piano voices feature totally new samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert grand piano. The CLP-950 GRAND PIANO 1 voice features multiple velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), a “Soundboard Reverb” effect which accurately simulates the resonance of a piano soundboard, special “Sustain Samples” which recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings when the damper pedal is pressed, and “Key-off Samples” that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released.

● Dual mode allows 2 voices to be played simultaneously.

● Split mode (CLP-950) allows different voices to be played by the left and right hands.

● Metronome feature with variable tempo facilitates practice.

● 2-track digital recorder lets you record and play back anything you play on the keyboard.

● MIDI compatibility and a range of MIDI functions make the Clavinova useful in a range of

advanced MIDI music systems.

● Built-in computer interface for direct connection to personal computers running advanced music software. The music stand can be removed to allow placement of a laptop-type personal computer or other equipment on top of the instrument.

In order to make the most of your Clavinova’s performance potential and features, we urge you to read

this Owner’s Manual thoroughly, and keep it in a safe place for later reference.

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 or brilliance (CLP-950) 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.

CAUTION

• When the Clavinova’s AUX IN jacks are connected to an external source, first turn the

power to the external device on, and then the power to the Clavinova. Reverse this order when turning the power off.

• The input signal from the AUX IN jacks is controlled by the Clavinova’s volume and brilliance (CLP-950) controls. Reverb and effect functions will have no affect.

• The input signal from the AUX IN jacks is delivered to the AUX OUT jacks.

INOUTTHRU

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 retransmits 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 33.
