IMPORTANT

WICHTIG

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.

Netzspannung überprüfen

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

Vérifiez 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.

IMPORTANTE

Compruebe la alimentación de su área

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.

PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep these precautions 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:

•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.

•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.

•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.

•Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

•Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

•Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.

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:

•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.

•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.

•Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-con- nector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

•Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

•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.

•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 near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products.

•Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

•Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

•When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.

•On the CVP-600, 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.

•On the CVP-600, 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.

•Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a finger or hand in the key cover gap.

•Never insert or drop paper or metallic or other objects between the slits of the key cover and the keyboard. If this happens, immediately turn off the power and remove the electric plug from the outlet and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

•Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/one-inch from the wall), since this can cause inadequate air circulation, and possibly result in the instrument overheating.

•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 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 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.

•If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them periodically using the included tool.

■SAVING USER DATA

•Always save data to a floppy disk frequently, in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error.

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.

About This Manual

■ Basic Settings: ......................................................................................................

The functions of the Clavinova are set to certain standard values or standard conditions when the instrument is shipped. These settings and conditions are called the basic settings. The basic settings of each function can be changed according to your preferences. Depending on the settings of the Backup function (page 147), you can have the Clavinova maintain your own edited settings or return to the basic settings after turning off the power. The Recall function (page 148) lets you restore the basic settings at anytime.

■ Main display: ...........................................................................................................

This refers to the LCD display shown below, which appears first when turning on the power.

● Pop-up:

When certain panel buttons are pressed, the relevant display appears. Some of these displays are shown temporarily before returning to the previous display. These are called “pop-up” displays.

6 CVP-98/96/600

Handling Floppy Disks

The “Music Software Collection” disk and one blank disk are supplied with the Clavinova.

■Taking Care of Your Floppy Disks ...........

●Do NOT eject the disk during recording or playback, or at any time when the DISK IN USE lamp is lit. Doing so may damage both the disk and the FDD.

●Do NOT turn the Clavinova on or off while the disk is in the drive.

●Always eject the disk before turning the Clavinova off.

●When ejecting a floppy disk from the disk drive:

DISK IN USE

DISK IN USE lamp

•To eject a floppy disk, press the eject button slowly as far as it will go. Then when the disk Is fully ejected, remove it by hand.

•The disk may not be ejected properly if the eject button is pressed too quickly or if it is not pressed in far enough. (The eject button may become stuck halfway with the disk extending from the slot by only a few millimeters). If this is the case, do not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk. Doing so may damage the disk drive mechanism and/or the floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again or push the disk back into the slot, then repeat the eject procedure carefully.

●Never open or close the key cover while a disk is extending from the drive (i.e. in the ejected position). The key cover may contact the disk, possibly damaging the disk or even the disk drive.

●Do not insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disk.

●Use the 3.5-inch 2DD or 2HD floppy disks with

the Clavinova.

■Precautions Regarding Floppy Disk

Use .............................................................................................

●Never open the disk’s shutter. Dirt or dust on the Internal magnetic surface will cause data errors.

●Never leave disks near a speaker, TV, or other device that emits a strong magnetic field.

●Do not store disks in places exposed to direct sunlight or sources of high temperature.

●Do not place heavy objects such as books on top of a disk.

●Avoid getting the disks wet.

●Be sure to store the disks in environmental conditions as specified below:

•Storage temperature: 4° to 53°C (39° to 127°F).

•Storage humidity: 8 to 90% relative humidity.

•Store in an area free from dust, sand, smoke, etc.

●Be sure to apply the disk label at the proper position. When changing the label never cover the old label with a new label; always remove the old label first.

■Head Cleaning ...............................................................

The head of the disk drive unit will get dirty as you use it eventually causing data errors. If this occurs, clean the head with a 3.5 inch head cleaning disk (available from most computer supply stores).

■ Data Backup.....................................................................

It is recommended that you copy your recorded songs to another disk for backup (see page 136). If the original disk is damaged or your song is deleted, the backup disk can be used instead of the original.

■Protecting Your Data (Write Protect

CVP-98/96/600 11

Basic Operation

Virtually all of the Clavinova’s operations are done from the LCD display. When you press a button on the panel once, the relevant function’s display appears. Depending on the display that appears, you can conveniently perform various functions and change values/settings by using the buttons located directly below, or to the left or right of the LCD, and the data dial and [–/+] buttons at the right of the LCD. Once you’re familiar with these operations, you can easily use other functions in the same way.

LCD Display and LCD Buttons

The five buttons located under the LCD display are referred to as the LCD buttons. These buttons are used either to select the corresponding items displayed in the LCD or to change the values. The five buttons located to the left and right of the LCD display are referred to as the left/ right LCD buttons. These buttons are used to directly select parameters and settings in the LCD display.

PAGE	EXIT DISPLAY HOLD

The functions of the LCD buttons differ depending on the selected LCD. Keep in mind that functions are enclosed in two types of rectangles, one a “soft” rectangle with rounded corners, the other a “hard” rectangle with 90-degree corners.

	“Soft” rectangle	“Hard” rectangle
	(with rounded corners)	“Hard” rectangle
	(with rounded corners)

12 CVP-98/96/600

Basic Operation

■ When function is within “soft” rectangle: ...............................

First press the appropriate LCD button under the display (the selected item is highlighted), and use the data dial or [–/+]to set the items which are in “soft” rectangles with rounded corners.

Alternately, after selecting the item, press the LCD button again. For example, when selecting a voice from the display shown below, press the LCD button below VOICE ▼ ▲ at the lower right. VOICE

then is highlighted, and you can select the desired voice by using the data dial or the [–/+]buttons.

PAGE	EXIT DISPLAY HOLD

For functions or parameters that have ▼ and ▲ or < and > indications, you can reset the value to its basic value by simultaneously pressing both LCD buttons (or both [–/+]buttons).

PAGE	EXIT DISPLAY HOLD

Display Highlight

•When selecting an item or parameter in the display, the indication of the selected item is highlighted (appears in reverse display).

When holding down a button...

•In some cases, when one of the LCD buttons or [–/+] buttons is held down, the value or setting changes continuously.

•There are some functions and parameters whose settings cannot be returned to the basic value even by pressing the ▼ and ▲ buttons, or the

< and > buttons simultaneously.

CVP-98/96/600 13

Basic Operation

■ When function is within “hard” rectangle: .............................

Items within a “hard” rectangle can be directly selected or switched ON/OFF by simply pressing the corresponding LCD button located directly below the desired item.

For example , when selecting the first Demo song in the display shown below, you can immediately begin playback of the first song by pressing the LCD button under 1.

Settings which can be selected by using the left and right LCD buttons are surrounded by “hard” rectangles. Select these settings directly by pressing the left or right LCD buttons.

PAGE [<] [>] Buttons

Some of the Clavinova’s functions are contained on successive display pages. To select the next page or previous page, press the appropriate PAGE [<] [>] button. The current page and the entire number of pages for the function are indicated at the top right of the display.

PAGE

14 CVP-98/96/600

Basic Operation

[EXIT] Button

Press [EXIT] in order to leave the current mode or return to the previous display.

EXIT DISPLAY HOLD

[DISPLAY HOLD] Button

The [DISPLAY HOLD] button lets you keep the display from changing. For example, voices and accompaniment styles can be selected by pressing the VOICE button or STYLE button. The display of the selected voice/style appears for a few seconds, then changes to the previous display. Displays such as this that appear briefly are called pop-up displays. The [DISPLAY HOLD] lamp flashes to indicate that it is the pop-up display, and that the previous display will appear after a few seconds. By pressing the [DISPLAY HOLD] at this point, the lamp stays lit continuously and the selected display stays. Pressing [DISPLAY HOLD] again turns the lamp off and the display returns to the previous one.

EXIT DISPLAY HOLD

•If [DISPLAY HOLD] is pressed for any non pop-up display, and the lamp is lit up, the pop-up display cannot be opened.

•The duration of pop-up displays can be set with the Pop-up Time parameter (page 153).

Adjusting the Contrast of the LCD Display

Turn the [CONTRAST] button in order to adjust the contrast or brightness of the display.

CONTRAST

CVP-98/96/600 15

Basic Operation

Memory Backup

The Backup function (page 147) can be used to maintain various values and settings, even after the power has been turned off. In the Backup function display, each parameter group to be backed up can be selected individually. Values and settings which are not backed up revert to the basic settings when the power is turned off.

When set to ON, the last setting of these parameters are retained in memory even after the power is turned off. For a list of the backup parameters, see page 147.

If the Clavinova is left unused without the power being turned on for approximately a week, the backed up data is deleted and all the settings return to the basic settings. For this reason, you should turn on the power at least once a week and keep it on for a few minutes.

Backup of the Last Settings

•For parameters which can be set to Backup ON/OFF, the basic setting is indicated as “Backup of last settings: ON (or OFF)” in the explanation of each parameter.

•Items set to Backup ON can be returned to the basic setting anytime by using the Recall function (page 148).

Display Messages

For ease of operation, the Clavinova shows various messages that either prompt you to the next operation, ask for confirmation, or inform you that the last operation is not effective, valid or appropriate. When such messages appear, follow the instructions as shown. For details about each message, please refer to the “Messages” section on page 2 in the Reference Manual.
