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.
Taking Care of Your Clavinova
Your Clavinova will give you years of playing pleasure if you observe the simple rules given below:
1. Avoid Humidity & Heat
Avoid placing the Clavinova in areas that are subject to excessive humidity or heat. Do not leave the instrument near
heaters or in a car exposed to direct sunlight, for example.
2. Avoid Dust & Moisture
Avoid locations in which the instrument is likely to be exposed
to excessive dust or moisture.
3. Power-off Before Connecting
Connections between the Clavinova and any other device
must be made with both pieces of equipment turned off.
4. Handle With Care
Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or
other parts of your Clavinova, and avoid scratching or bumping it with hard objects. Further, always turn the POWER
switch off after use, and cover the instrument with the dust
cover provided.
5. Clean Carefully
Clean the cabinet and keys of your Clavinova only with a
clean, slightly damp cloth. A neutral cleanser may be used if
desired. Never use abrasive cleansers, waxes, solvents or
chemical dust cloths since these can dull or damage the
finish.
7. Electric Interference
Since the Clavinova contains digital circuitry, it may cause
interference if placed too close to radio or television receivers. If this occurs, move the instrument further away from the
affected equipment.
8. 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” screw-
driver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage
appears next to the pointer on the panel.
9. Name Plate Location
The Clavinova name plate, including the unit’s ser ial number,
is located on the bottom panel of the main unit.
6. Never Tamper With the Internal Circuitry
Never open the Clavinova cabinet and touch or tamper with
the internal circuitry. Tampering with the circuitry can result in
electrical shock!
If you will be using sheet music with your Clavinova, raise the music
stand built into it’s top panel by lifting the rear edge of the music stand, flip
the support brackets on the rear of the music stand down so that they fit into
the corresponding recesses.
The music stand can be lowered after slightly lifting the stand and flipping
the two brackets which support it upward.
POWER
■Headphones
PHONES
After making sure that the Clavinova’s AC plug is properly inserted into a
convenient AC wall outlet (a power-plug adaptor may be provided in some
areas), press the [POWER] switch located to the left of the keyboard once to
turn the power on. Press the [POWER] switch again to turn the power off.
When the power is initially turned on, the PIANO voice selector LED will
light, the POP 1 style selector LED will light, and “78” will appear on the
TEMPO display.
A standard pairs of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private
practice or late-night playing. The internal speaker system is automatically
shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into the PHONES jack.
The MASTER VOLUME control adjusts the overall volume of sound produced
by the Clavinova. It also adjusts headphone volume when a pair of headphones is
plugged into the PHONES jack.
Initially set the MASTER VOLUME control about half way between the
“MIN” and “MAX” settings. Then, when you start playing, adjust the control for
the most comfortable listening level.

Separate volume controls are provided for the RHYTHM, CHORD 1,
CHORD 2, and BASS sound. These volume controls let you set up the best balance
between the various accompaniment parts when the AUTO BASS CHORD (ABC)
and Performance Memory features are used, and the RHYTHM volume control
can be used to balance the keyboard and rhythm sound when only rhythm accompaniment is used.
The volume of the keyboard can be independently adjusted by using the BASS
control while holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button — this is particularly
handy for adjusting the balance when recording the Clavinova sound.
● Additional Volume Control Mode (Reverb Depth)
Using the “Auto Accompaniment Volume Mode” utility function (page 29), the
Auto-Accompaniment volume controls can be assigned to control individual
reverb depths for the rhythm, bass, chord 1, and chord 2 parts.
• If any or all of the Auto Accompaniment volume controls are set to their minimum

positions, no sound will be produced by the corresponding parts. The maximum
control positions produce the normal volume levels.
The Internal Amplifier &
Speaker System
The CVP-49 features a powerful stereo amplifier delivering 30 watts per channel to a highperformance speaker system that puts out exceptionally rich sound with natural response
from powerful lows to shimmering highs. The CVP-49 speaker systems employ two 13centimeter speaker units for low-to-midrange reproduction, and two 5-centimeter speaker
units for outstanding high-frequency sound.
