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.

Before using the instrument, be sure to read “PRECAUTIONS” on pages 6-7.

For information on assembling the instrument, refer to the instructions at the end of this manual.

IMPORTANT

– Vérifiez votre alimentation électrique –

Vérifiez que la tension de votre alimentation secteur correspond à celle qui est spécifiée sur la plaque du fabricant, située sur le panneau inférieur. Dans certaines régions, un sélecteur de tension peut être installé sur le panneau inférieur du clavier principal, à proximité du cordon d’alimentation. Assurez-vous que le sélecteur de tension est réglé sur la tension utilisée dans votre région. En usine, le sélecteur est initialement paramétré sur 240 V. Pour modifier ce réglage, utilisez un tournevis plat et faites tourner le cadran du sélecteur jusqu'à ce que la valeur souhaitée apparaisse à côté de l’indicateur sur le panneau.

Avant d’utiliser l’instrument, lisez attentivement la section « PRÉCAUTIONS D'USAGE » aux pages 6 et 7. Pour plus d’informations sur l’assemblage de l’instrument, reportez-vous aux instructions figurant à la fin de ce manuel.

PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

Please keep this manual in a safe and handy 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

 

Fire warning

Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators. Also, do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, or place heavy objects on it.

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

Use only the supplied power cord/plug.

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

Do not open

This instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble or modify the internal components in any way. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

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

When one of the following problems occur, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the electric plug from the outlet. Then have the device inspected by Yamaha service personnel.

-The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.

-It emits unusual smells or smoke.

-Some object has been dropped into the instrument.

-There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument.

Water warning

Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, place on it any containers (such as vases, bottles or glasses) containing liquids which might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

DMI-5 1/2

6CVP-609/605 Owner’s Manual

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

 

Handling caution

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.

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.

Location

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

CVP-609/605 Owner’s Manual 7

Notices and Information

NOTICE

To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage to the 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 the application on your iPhone/iPad, we recommend that you set “Airplane Mode” to “ON” on your iPhone/iPad 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.

Instrument / Bench Maintenance

To keep your Clavinova in optimum condition, we recommend that you periodically follow the maintenance points below.

When cleaning the instrument or bench, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Otherwise, it may become discolored or degraded.

If you are using 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. To keep the surface polished, apply commercially available piano polisher to a soft cloth and wipe the instrument’s surface with it. Then, polish it with a separate cloth. Before using any piano polisher, make sure to read the instructions for proper usage.

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.

As with an acoustic piano, pedals may become tarnished across the ages. When this occurs, polish the pedal with a compound designed for piano pedals. Before using the compound, make sure to read the instructions for proper usage.

Saving data

The edited Songs/Styles/Voices and MIDI settings are lost when you turn off the power of the instrument without saving. It occurs also when the power is turned of by Auto Power Off function (page 15). Save the edited data to the instrument (User memory) or USB flash memory (page 29). Saving the data to USB flash memory is even more secure, since the data in the instrument may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation.

To further protect against data loss through the USB flash memory damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto two USB flash memories.

An independent license for such use is required. For details, please visit http://mp3licensing.com.

Tuning

Unlike an acoustic piano, this instrument does not need to be tuned by an expert (although the pitch can be user-adjusted to match other instruments). This is because the pitch of digital instruments is always maintained perfectly.

Compatible formats for this instrument

GM2

“GM (General MIDI)” is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. “GM System Level 2” is a standard specification that enhances the original “GM” and improves Song data compatibility. It provides for increased polyphony, greater Voice selection, expanded Voice parameters, and integrated effect processing.

XG

XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to provide more Voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility of data well into the future.

GS

GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhancement of the GM specifically to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects.

XF

The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and openended expandability for the future. This instrument is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric data is played.

SFF GE (Guitar Edition)

“SFF (Style File Format)” is an original Style file format by Yamaha which uses a unique conversion system to provide highquality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types. “SFF GE (Guitar Edition)” is an enhanced format of SFF, which features improved note transposition for guitar tracks.

In addition, there is a special “Piano Room” containing all relevant piano performance settings, which you can call up with a single button press any time you want. This complete piano ‘environment’ lets you select the desired piano type as well as different room ambiences — providing a total piano experience, as if you were playing an actual piano.

Page 40

Enormous Variety of Instrument Voices

Naturally, the CVP provides many realistic piano Voices for your playing enjoyment. But it also features a wide variety of authentic instruments, both acoustic and electronic. Moreover, the special Super Articulation Voices realistically recreate many of the performance techniques and characteristic sounds generated when an artist plays an instrument. The result is superbly detailed expression — such as the realistic sound of finger slides on guitar, and the expressive breath noises of saxophone and other wind instruments.

Full Backing Band Accompaniment

Even if you’re playing alone, the CVP can put an entire backing band behind you! Simply playing chords with your left hand automatically triggers and controls the auto accompaniment backing (Style function). You can change arrangements on the fly, instantly selecting different rhythm variations and breaks in real time — including Intro, Ending, and Fill-in — during your performance. And if you find it hard to select just the right Style from the huge variety available, use the Style Recommender function, which calls up a list of suggested Styles, based on a sample rhythm you play.
