Yamaha CVP-79A, CVP-79AE User 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.
WICHTIG
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 arrière 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 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.

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 close the key cover to protect the keyboard (CVP-79A/
69/69A), or cover the instrument with the dust cover provided
(CVP-59S).
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.
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!
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” screwdriver 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 serial number, is
located on the bottom panel of the main unit.
10.Handling Floppy Disks
Yamaha Disk Orchestra Collection disks are write-protected and
therefore cannot be used to save songs. To save your recorded
songs a blank floppy disk should be used (one blank disk is 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 drive 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:
• 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 102). If the original disk is
damaged or your song is deleted, the backup disk can be
used instead of the original.

Preparation
The Music Stand
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 down the braces on either side of the rear of the music stand
so that they catch inside the protrusions on the top panel. Reverse this
operation o lower the stand.

POWER
Headphones
To open the CVP-79A/69/69A key cover lift it just enough to clear
the keys (do not lift excessively) then slide the cover back into the main
unit. To close the cover slide it forward all the way and then lower it
gently until it closes completely.
After making sure that the Clavinova’s AC cord is properly plugged
into the Clavinova itself and plugged 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
indicator will light, the POP style selector indicator will light, and the
display will appear as shown to the left.

The Display & LCD Buttons
The 5 buttons below the display — we’ll call them “LCD buttons”
throughout this text — select or edit the parameter indicated by the adjacent section of the display.
In the example display shown here, for example, the two buttons immediately below the VOICE section of the display can be used to select
the voice to be played via the keyboard. When either of the VOICE buttons is pressed the VOICE section of the display will be highlighted (as
in the example), indicating that the data dial and [+]/[–] buttons can also
be used to select voices. The LCD buttons can be pressed briefly to “single-step” the corresponding parameter, or held to scroll continuously
through the parameter’s values. The panel [+]/[–] buttons allow singlestep operation only.

General Operation: The Display & Related Controls
In many cases where ▲ and ▼ or < and > LCD buttons appear, both
buttons can be pressed simultaneously to recall the default setting for that
parameter. The panel [+] and [–] buttons can be used in the same way.
This applies to most parameters that have a range of possible settings.
Parameters of this type are enclosed in a rounded frame in the display.
Parameters which are directly executed or simply switched on or off
via the corresponding LCD button appear in a square frame and are not
editable via the data dial and [+]/[–] buttons.
The [DISPLAY HOLD] Button
When selecting voices (page 15) or accompaniment styles (page 28),
for example, the voice or style list that appears when a VOICE or
STYLE button is pressed will automatically disappear after a few seconds if no selections are made. When this type of temporary “pop-up”
display is selected, the [DISPLAY HOLD] button will flash indicating
that the display will disappear in a few seconds. Pop-up displays can be
kept on the LCD for as long as required by pressing the [DISPLAY
HOLD] button so that its indicator lights continuously. Press [DISPLAY
HOLD] a second time (the indicator will go out) to disengage the dis-
play hold function.
DISPLAY HOLD
• If the [DISPLAY HOLD] button is engaged when a normal display is showing, no pop-up displays will appear
even when a button that normally calls
a pop-up display is pressed.
• The length of time pop-up displays
remain on the LCD can be set via the
“Pop-up Time” function described on
page 109.

Memory Backup
In addition to the contrast and language settings introduced in this
section, the Clavinova has a range of parameters that can be retained in
memory even while the power is off, so you don’t have to reset all your
favorite settings every time you want to play. The “Backup” function
described on page 107 lets you select which parameters will be backed
up (retained in memory), and which will be reset to their default values
whenever the power is turned off.
Parameters that are backed up will be retained in memory for about a
week if the Clavinova is not turned on during this time. All parameters
will be reset to their default values if the power remains off for longer
than about a week. To ensure that your backed-up settings are maintained, turn the power on for a few minutes at least once a week.

The Keyboard & Polyphony
The CVP-69/69A/59S can play up to 32 notes at once while the CVP-79A can play up to 64. This number
includes all notes being played at the same time in any single or combination use of dual, split, accompaniment, and disk functions. Further variation occurs with “1-element” and “2-element” voices: the polyphon y is
halved with 2-element voices. The same applies to stereo voices. The voice list on page 116 shows all stereo,
2-element, and 1-element voices in the CVP-79A/69/69A/59S.
The Clavinova also offers keyboard touch response, so the volume and timbre of notes played can be controlled according to how “hard” you play the keys. The amount of variation available depends on the selected
voice and the setting of the TOUCH SENSITIVITY parameter (page 91).
Dual Mode
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
The DUAL mode makes it possible to play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. This makes it easy
to create exceptionally rich, thick tonal textures.
