OWNER’S MANUAL
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.
For information on assembling the keyboard stand, refer to the instructions at the end of this manual.

PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual 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:
Power supply/Power cord
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required
voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.
• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
• 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.
Do not open
• 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.
Water warning
• 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.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Fire warning
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
If you notice any abnormality
• 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.
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:
Power supply/Power cord
• 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.
• 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.
Assembly
• 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.
(1)B-7
Location
• 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 in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment,
mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio
may generate noise.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

Connections
• 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.
Maintenance
• (CVP-309 including grand piano type) 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.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use
paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping
cloths.
Handling caution
•Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a
finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instrument.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the key
cover, panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and
unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might
discolor the panel or keyboard.
• (CVP-309 including grand piano type) 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.
• 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 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.
• (CVP-309 including grand piano type) 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 data
Saving and backing up your data
• The data of the types listed below are lost when you turn off the power to the
instrument. Save the data to the USER tab display (page 26), floppy disk,

Welcome to the Wonderful Musical World of the Clavinova CVP!
Authentic Acoustic Piano-like Touch
Natural Wood Keyboard (CVP-309 including grand piano type)
The special Natural Wood keyboard of the CVP-309 uses real wood, to reproduce as
closely as possible the experience of playing an actual acoustic grand piano. The
authentic touch and feel of the keys goes far beyond existing electronic keyboards,
realistically recreating the hardness of the keys, the balance between the weight of the
key and hammer, and the characteristic weight gradations of the keys – heavy in the
low end, light in the high register – to make you feel as if you’re playing a real grand
piano. Moreover, this specially crafted keyboard lets you use techniques only possible
on grand pianos, such as playing the same note successively and having the sounds
blend smoothly even without use of the damper pedal, or playing the same key
quickly and having perfect articulation without the sound cutting off unnaturally.
GH3 Keyboard (CVP-307)
This feature provides authentic, realistic keyboard response – much like the playing
feel of a grand piano – with the lower keys being heavy in touch, the higher keys light,
and all the natural gradations in between. Moreover, this specially crafted keyboard
lets you use techniques only possible on grand pianos, such as playing the same note
successively and having the sounds blend smoothly even without use of the damper
pedal, or playing the same key quickly and having perfect articulation without the
sound cutting off unnaturally.
The Acoustic Ambience of a Grand Piano
—with the iAFC Feature
Turn on the iAFC (Instrumental Active Field Control) effect, and hear the sound expand
around you, as if you’re playing on stage in a concert hall. The overall sound is deeper
and more resonant, especially when using the damper pedal, recreating and emphasizing the natural sounds of true acoustic instruments.
Playing the Clavinova
Playing Piano Voices ................................................................. page 28
With just the press of a button, you can reconfigure the entire Clavinova for
optimum piano performance, no matter what settings you’ve made from the
panel. Now you can enjoy performing and practicing with authentic grand
piano sounds and response—instantly.

Playing Other Instrument Voices ..............................................page 31
The Clavinova gives you not only various realistic piano Voices, but also features an
exceptionally wide variety of authentic instruments, both acoustic and electronic.

The key guide lamps are also helpful in learning and practicing, since they
indicate the notes you should play, when you should play them, and how long
you should hold them down.
Recording Your Performances .................................................. page 41
The Clavinova lets you easily record your own performances and save them
to internal memory or a SmartMedia card. This, too, is an excellent practice
tool, letting you listen back to your playing and spot your strong and weak
points.

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks
(The floppy disk drive may be included or
optional, depending on your locale. For instructions on installing the floppy disk drive, see
page 212.)
The floppy disk drive lets you save original data you’ve created on the instrument to floppy disk, and allows you to
load data from floppy disk to the instrument.
Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with
care. Follow the important precautions below.
Floppy Disk Compatibility
• 3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.
Formatting a Floppy Disk
• If you find that you are unable to use new, blank disks or
old disks that have been used with other devices, you
may need to format them. For details on how to format a
disk, see page 62. Keep in mind that all data on the disk
will be lost after formatting. Make sure to check beforehand whether or not the disk contains important data.
n
Floppy disks formatted on this device may or may not be useable
as is on other devices.
Inserting/Removing Floppy Disks
Inserting a Floppy Disk into the Disk
Drive:
• Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing
upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards
the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly
pushing it all the way in until it clicks into place and the
eject button pops out.
n
Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other
objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disks.
Removing a Floppy Disk
• After checking that the instrument is not accessing* the
floppy disk (checking that the use lamp on the floppy
disk drive is off), firmly press the eject button at the
upper right of the disk slot all the way in.
When the floppy disk is ejected, pull it out of the drive. If
the floppy disk cannot be removed because it is stuck,
do not try to force it, but instead try pressing the eject
button again, or try re-inserting the disk and attempt to
eject it again.
* Access of the disk indicates an active operation, such as
recording, playback, or deletion of data.
If a floppy disk is inserted while the power is on, the disk is
automatically accessed, since the instrument checks whether
the disk has data.
CAUTION
Do not remove the floppy disk or turn off the instrument
itself while the disk is being accessed.
Doing so may result not only in loss of data on the disk
but also damage to the floppy disk drive.
• Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive
before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the
drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and
dirt that can cause data-read and -write errors.
Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head
• Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument
employs a precision magnetic read/write head which,
after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of
magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventually cause read and write errors.
•To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order
Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-available dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about
once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the availability of proper headcleaning disks.
About Floppy Disks
Handle floppy disks with care, and follow these precautions:
• Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply
pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep floppy disks
in their protective cases when they are not in use.
• Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high
or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids.
• Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed
surface of the floppy disk inside.
• Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as those
produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since
magnetic fields can partially or completely erase data on
the disk, rendering it unreadable.
• Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing.
• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to
a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in
the proper location.
To Protect Your Data (Write-protect Tab):
•To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the
disk's write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab
open). When saving data, make sure that the disk's
write-protect tab is set to the “overwrite” position (tab
closed).

Handling SmartMediaTM*Memory Cards
*SmartMedia is a trademark of Toshiba Corporation.
This instrument features a built-in SmartMedia card slot (on
the front panel). It lets you save original data you’ve created on the instrument to a SmartMedia card, and allows
you to load data from a card to the instrument. Be sure to
handle SmartMedia cards with care. Follow the important
precautions below.
Introduction
Compatible SmartMedia Types
• 3.3V (3V) SmartMedia can be used. 5V type SmartMedia
• SmartMedia cards of seven different memory capacities

SSFDC is an abbreviation for Solid State Floppy Disk Card
(another name for SmartMedia cards). The SSFDC Forum is a voluntary organization established for the promotion of SmartMedia.
Formatting SmartMedia Cards
If you find that you are unable to use new, blank SmartMedia cards or cards that have been used with other devices,
you may need to format them. For details on how to format
a SmartMedia card, see page 62. Keep in mind that all data
on the card will be lost after formatting. Make sure to
check beforehand whether or not the card contains important data.

CAUTION
Never attempt to remove the SmartMedia card or turn
the power off during accessing. Doing so can damage the
data on the instrument or card and possibly damage the
SmartMedia card itself.
About SmartMedia Cards
Handle SmartMedia cards with care,
and follow these precautions:
•There are times when static electricity affects SmartMedia. Before you touch a SmartMedia card, touch something metallic such as a door knob and aluminum sash,
to reduce the possibility of static electricity.
• Be sure to remove the SmartMedia card from the SmartMedia slot when it is not in use for a long time.
• Do not expose the SmartMedia to direct sunlight,
extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids.
• Do not place heavy objects on a SmartMedia card or
bend or apply pressure to the card in any way.
• Do not touch the gold-plated terminals of the SmartMedia card or put any metallic plate onto the terminals.
• Do not expose the SmartMedia card to magnetic fields,
such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors,
etc., since magnetic fields can partially or completely
erase data on the SmartMedia, rendering it unreadable.
• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to
a SmartMedia. Also make sure that labels are attached in
the proper location.
To Protect Your Data (Write-protect):
•To prevent inadvertent erasure of important data, affix
the write-protect seal (provided in the SmartMedia package) onto the designated area (within the circle) of the
SmartMedia card. Conversely, to save data on the SmartMedia card, make sure to remove the write-protect seal
from the card.
• Do not reuse a seal that has been peeled off.
Removing SmartMedia Cards
• After making sure that the instrument is not accessing*
the SmartMedia card, insert the card until it clicks into
place and release it. When the SmartMedia card is
ejected, pull it out of the drive. If the card cannot be
removed because it is stuck, do not try to force it, but
instead try re-inserting the card completely into the slot
and attempt to eject it again.
* Accessing includes saving, loading, formatting, deleting and
making directory. Also, be aware that the instrument will
automatically access the SmartMedia to check the media
type when it is inserted while the instrument is turned on.

pressed—preventing you from accidentally starting a Song (page 34) during your piano performance.
1 Hold down the [PIANO] button on the lower right of the panel for a short time, until a message
appears prompting you to enable Piano Lock.
2 Press the [F] (OK) button to enable Piano Lock.
3 To turn Piano Lock off, hold down the [PIANO] button again for a short time.

Damper Pedal
● Damper Pedal (Right)
The damper pedal performs the same function as the damper
pedal on an actual acoustic piano, letting you sustain the sound
of the voices even after releasing the keys.
n • Some Voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after
the notes have been released while the damper pedal is held.
• Certain Voices in the “PERCUSSION & DRUM KIT,” “GM&XG”
and “GM2” groups may not be affected by use of the damper
pedal.
When you press the damper
pedal here, the notes you play
before you release the pedal have
a longer sustain.
● Sostenuto Pedal (Center)
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as
long as the pedal is held. All subsequent notes will not sustain.
n • Certain Voices, such as [STRINGS] or [BRASS], sustain continu-
ously when the sostenuto pedal is pressed.
• Certain Voices in the “PERCUSSION & DRUM KIT”, “GM&XG”
and “GM2” groups may not be affected by use of the sostenuto
pedal.
When you press the sostenuto
pedal here while holding the
note(s), the notes will sustain as
long as you hold the pedal.
● Left Pedal
When the Piano voice is selected, pressing this pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of the notes
you play.
The settings assigned to this pedal may differ depending on the selected Voice.
n The depth of the left pedal effect can be adjusted (page 95).
