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:

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

product, damage to data, or damage to other property,
follow the notices below.

 Handling

• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio,
stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices.
Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.
When you use the instrument along with an application on
your smart device, we recommend that you set “Airplane
Mode” to “ON” and then the Wi-Fi setting to “ON” in order
to avoid noise caused by communication.

• 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, damage to the internal components or
unstable operation. (Verified operating temperature range:
5° – 40°C, or 41° – 104°F.)

• 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.

 Saving data

• Some data and settings are saved automatically (page 16). To
protect against data loss due to some failure, and operation
mistake, etc., save your important data to the smart device

Concert grand piano sound at your fingertips

The piano Voices have been created with samples of Yamaha’s flagship CFX concert grand piano and the
world renowned Bösendorfer* concert grand piano. With keys that support rapid repetitive capability, this
instrument achieves the feel of an actual grand piano. It also reproduces the way sound echoes based on the
concert hall, and the subtle changes in sound due to the opening or closing of the lid of a grand piano.

*Bösendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.

You can also learn more about the features of this instrument in the Demo function of the Smart Pianist
smart device app.

*All screen captures are under development.

Playing the Clavinova as a Piano

1-1 Insert the plug of the power cord into the AC connector on this instrument.

1-2 Plug the other end of the cord into the proper AC outlet on the wall.

Use only the AC power cord supplied with your instrument. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and needs to be
replaced, contact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a fire and shock hazard!

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.

When disconnecting the power cord, first turn off the power, then follow this procedure in reverse order.

2 Open the key cover.

With both hands, hold the hand grip. Then lift the cover slightly, then push and slide it to the
end completely.

• Hold the cover with both hands when opening or closing it. Do not release it until it is fully opened or closed. Be
careful to avoid catching fingers (yours or others, especially children’s) between the cover and the unit.

• Do not place anything (such as metal objects or pieces of paper) on top of the key cover. Small objects placed on
the key cover may fall inside the unit when the cover is opened and may be nearly impossible to remove. Once
inside, they could cause electric shock, short circuit, fire or other serious damage to the instrument.

NOTICE

Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, especially around the key cover and the
score rest. Doing so can cause damage or malfunction of the key cover.
