OWNER’S MANUAL
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.

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

• 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-11
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.
• 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

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
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
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-409) 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.

Introduction
Enhanced Realism and Natural Expressiveness
Authentic Acoustic Piano-like Touch
NW (Natural Wood) with Synthetic ivory keytops (CVP-409)
This is the first Clavinova featuring a keyboard that has the feel of real ivory. The special
Natural Wood keyboard of the CVP-409 uses real-wood white keys. The key surface is
soft and slightly porous, giving the keys added grip and a natural friction that lets you play
easily. The authentic touch and feel of the keys goes far beyond existing electronic keyboards, it makes you feel as if you’re playing a real grand piano. 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.
NW (Natural Wood) Keyboard (CVP-407)
The special Natural Wood keyboard of the CVP-407 uses real-wood white keys, 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.
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. Use the Spatial Effect to recreate and emphasize the natural sounds of true acoustic instruments. The overall sound
is deeper and more resonant, especially when using the damper pedal (Dynamic
Damper Effect).
SPATIAL Effect (greater depth) DYNAMIC DAMPER EffectSPATIAL Effect (less depth)
The Spatial Effect, which recreates the natural sounds of true acoustic instruments, is not
applied to the default setting. For more details about iAFC, see page 82.
Audio Recording
Recording Your Performance as Audio......................................page 60
You can record your performance as audio data to a USB storage device.
Connect a microphone or guitar to the instrument and enjoy recording a guitar and keyboard performance together, or record your singing along with
Song playback (in karaoke fashion).

Playing the Instrument
Playing Piano Voices ................................................................ page 28
With just the press of a button, you can reconfigure the entire instrument 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 32
The instrument gives you not only various realistic piano Voices, but also features an
exceptionally wide variety of authentic instruments, both acoustic and electronic.
Perform Along with a Full Band
—Song Playback......................................................................... page 35
Play along with previously recorded Song data, and fill out your solo performance with the sounds and arrangement of an entire band or orchestra.
Introduction
Ease in Playing Backing Parts with Songs
—performance assistant technology.........................................page 43
The new performance assistant technology features make it exceptionally
easy to play professional-sounding backing parts along with Song playback.
Playing Melodies along with Auto Accompaniment
—Style Playback .........................................................................page 44
Use the Style playback features to automatically produce full backing parts and
accompaniment, while you play melodies on top. It’s like having an expert ensemble
playing behind you. Select an accompaniment Style—such as pop, jazz, Latin, etc.—
and let the instrument be your backing band!

Practicing
Displaying and Playing along with the Music Score ................page 59
While playing back a Song, you can have the music score (notation) automatically shown on the display—an exceptionally convenient tool for learning and
practicing pieces.
Guide Lamps...............................................................................page 39
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 Performance.................................................... page 42
The instrument lets you easily record your own performance and save it to internal memory or a USB storage device. This, too, is an excellent practice tool, letting you listen back to your playing and spot your strong and weak points.
Expand Your Song Collection

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks
(The floppy disk drive is optional. 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 68. 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.
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 writeprotect tab is set to the “overwrite” position (tab closed).
Write-protect tab open
(protect position)
Introduction
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.

Handling the USB Storage Device (USB Flash Memory/Floppy Disk, etc)
This instrument features a built-in [USB TO DEVICE] terminal. By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device
with a standard USB cable, you can save data you’ve created to the connected device, as well as read data from the
connected device. Be sure to handle USB storage device
with care. Follow the important precautions below.
n
For more information about the handling of USB storage device,
refer to the owner’s manual of the USB storage device.

drive, hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive, flash memory

DEVICE] terminal. (If necessary, use a USB hub. The number of USB storage devices that can be used with musical
instruments simultaneously even when a USB hub is used
is a maximum of two.) This instrument can recognize up to
four drives in one USB storage device. Other USB devices
such as a computer keyboard or mouse cannot be used.
cially available USB storage devices. Yamaha cannot
guarantee operation of USB storage devices that you
purchase. Before purchasing USB storage devices,
please consult your Yamaha dealer, or an authorized
Yamaha distributor (see list at end of the Owner’s Manual) for advice, or visit the following web page:

Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to
the instrument, they cannot be used for saving data.
inserted, a message may appear prompting you to format
the device/media. If so, execute the Format operation.
CAUTION
Using USB Storage Devices
• When connecting a USB storage device to the [USB TO
DEVICE], make sure that the connector on the device is
appropriate and that it is connected in the proper direction. Before removing the media from the device, make
sure that the instrument is not accessing data (such as in
the Save, Copy and Delete operations).
CAUTION
•Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB
storage device, or connecting/disconnecting the cable
too often. Doing so may result in the operation of the
instrument “freezing” or hanging up. While the instrument is accessing data (such as in the Save, Copy and
Delete operations), do NOT unplug the USB cable, do
NOT remove the media from the device, and do NOT
turn the power off to either device. Doing so may corrupt the data on either or both devices.
• When connecting a USB storage device to the [USB TO
DEVICE] on the top panel, remove it before closing the
key cover. If the key cover is closed with the USB storage device connected, the USB storage device may be
damaged.
•Though there are two [USB TO DEVICE] terminals on the
instrument, if you are connecting two or three devices at
the same time (such as two USB storage devices and a
LAN adaptor), you should use a USB hub device. The
USB hub must be self-powered (with its own power
source) and the power must be on. Only one USB hub
can be used. If an error message appears while using the
USB hub, disconnect the hub from the instrument, then
turn on the power of the instrument and re-connect the
USB hub.
•Though the instrument supports the USB 1.1 standard,
you can connect and use a USB 2.0 storage device with
the instrument. However, note that the transfer speed is
that of USB 1.1.
To protect your data (write-protect):
To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased,
apply the write-protect provided with each storage device
or media. If you are saving data to the USB storage device,
make sure to disable write-protect.
