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 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.

• 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 expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or
wet conditions, or 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.

• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item
may fall over and cause a fire.

• Radio waves may affect electro-medical devices.

- Do not use this product near medical devices or inside areas in

Handling 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 connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple­connector. 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.

• Assemble the instrument in the proper sequence by following the
assembly instructions in this manual. Also, make sure to tighten the
screws regularly. Failure to do so might result in damage to the
instrument or even injury.

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

• Do not go near the instrument during an earthquake. Strong shaking
during an earthquake could cause the instrument to move or tip over,
resulting in damage to the instrument or its parts, and possibly
causing injury.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Keep small parts out of the reach of infants. Your children may
accidentally swallow them.

• 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.

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 (display 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.

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 an app on your smart device such as a smartphone or tablet, we recommend that you set
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to on after enabling “Airplane Mode” on that device 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

 Maintenance

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft and dry/slightly damp cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, alcohol, cleaning fluids,
or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

• 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.

• 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.

 Saving data

• Recorded Song and edited Song/Style/Voice/MIDI setup data, etc. are lost when you turn off the power to the instrument. This also
occurs when the power is turned off by the Auto Power Off function (page 19). Save the data to the instrument, or to USB flash
drive (page 32).

• You can back up the data and settings of this instrument to the USB flash drive as a backup file (page 43), as well as restore a backup
file to the instrument. To protect against data loss due to some failure, an operation mistake, etc., save your important data to a USB
flash drive.

• To protect against data loss through USB flash drive damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto spare USB
flash drive or an external device such as a computer as backup data.

 About this manual

• Unless indicated otherwise, the illustrations and displays as shown in this manual are based on the CVP-809 (in English). These are
for instructional purposes only, and may appear somewhat different from those on your instrument.

• The letters at the end of the model name (such as “B,” “PE,” “GP”) indicate the color, finish or shape of the instrument. Since they

 Tu n in g

• 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. However, if you feel there is
something abnormal concerning the keyboard touch, contact your Yamaha dealer.

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 open-ended
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 E dition)” is an enhanced format of SFF,
which features improved note transposition for guitar tracks.

Welcome to the World of CVP!

This new CVP model is equipped with a convenient touch screen, enabling visual and intuitive control over virtually all
instrument functions. Simply by touching this large and easy-to-see display, you can select desired items, enable and
control various features, or edit parameter values—with greater ease and speed than ever before!

The instrument also has many advanced features that enhance your musical enjoyment and expand your creative and
performance possibilities. Let’s take a look…

True Acoustic Piano Feel

This instrument features gorgeous piano Voices, created with
samples of the Yamaha CFX flagship concert grand piano and
the famous Bösendorfer* concert grand piano, as well as the
“GrandTouch Keyboard” which reproduces the authentic touch
and feel of an actual grand piano. Its improved keyboard
mechanism provides a wider range of touch response, with
exceptionally expressive control from pianissimo to fortissimo.
This instrument also features VRM which accurately recreates
the acoustic resonance of a grand piano, which changes subtly by
the timing and strength of the player’s touch and pedal
operation. This enables expression of even the most delicate
performance nuances and responds minutely to your pedal use
and key playing. Moreover, advanced technologies such as Binaural Sampling give you the impression of being
thoroughly immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the piano—even when listening to the sound
through headphones.
The Piano Room features provide even greater piano performance enjoyment. Piano Room lets you select the desired
piano type as well as different room ambiences—enabling a complete, realistic piano experience, as if you were playing
an actual piano. What’s more, you can play along with other virtual “session” players, and enjoy a convincing band-like
performance experience with other musical instruments.

* Bösendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.

Play in Various Music Genres

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, including organ, guitar, sax, and others used in many music
genres—letting you convincingly perform in any desired music style. 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.

Page 49

Full Backing Band Accompaniment

Even if you’re playing alone, the CVP can put an entire backing
band behind you! Simply playing chords automatically triggers
and controls the auto accompaniment backing (Style function).
Select an accompaniment Style—such as pop, jazz, Latin, and
various other music genres in the world—and let the Clavinova
be your complete backing band! You can change arrangements

Enjoyable Song Lesson Features—with Score Display and Guide Lamps

The Lesson features are a fun way to learn and master Songs,
with notation shown on the display. Moreover, each key of the
keyboard has a guide lamp, which lights to indicate the notes
to be played, letting you practice melodies and phrases
smoothly—even if you are a beginner or have trouble reading
notation.

Sing Along with Song Playback or Your Own Performance

Welcome to the World of CVP!

Since a microphone can be connected to the Clavinova and
Song lyrics can be shown on the display, you can enjoy singing
along with your keyboard performance or along with Song
playback. Moreover, a powerful Vocal Harmony effect
automatically applies lush, authentic sounding vocal
harmonies to your singing voice. You can also cancel the vocal
part on audio recordings, letting you sing along with (or
instead of !) your favorite artists and groups, and enjoy
performing even more.

3 Press and hold the [P] (Standby/On) switch for about a second to turn the power

off.

Starting Up

Even when the [P] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the
minimum level. Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended
periods of time, or during electrical storms.

NOTICE

While recording or editing, or while a message is displayed, the power cannot be turned off even if you press the
[P] (Standby/On) switch. If you want to turn off the power, press the [P] (Standby/On) switch after recording,
editing, or after the message has disappeared. If you need to force-quit the instrument, hold down the

CAUTION

CAUTION

Adjusting the Master Volume

Standard stereo phone plug (1/4")

Headphone hanger

To adjust the volume of the entire keyboard sound, use the [MASTER VOLUME] dial while playing the
keyboard.

Do not use the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause
permanent hearing loss.

Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC)

IAC is a function which automatically adjusts and controls the sound quality according to the overall
volume of the instrument. Even when the volume is low, it permits both low sounds and high sounds to be
clearly heard. IAC Control affects only the sound output of the instrument speakers. The default setting for
this function is on. You can turn the IAC setting on or off, and set the depth. For details, refer to the
“Utility” section in the Reference Manual on the website (page 9).

Using Headphones

Connect a pair of headphones to the [PHONES] jack. Since this instrument is equipped with two
[PHONES] jacks, you can connect two pairs of headphones. If you are using only one pair, insert the plug
into either of these jacks.

Do not use the headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause
permanent hearing loss.

Reproducing a Natural Sound Distance Sensation (even when using Headphones)—
Binaural Sampling and Stereophonic Optimizer

This instrument features two advanced technologies that allow you to enjoy exceptionally realistic, natural
sound, even though listening on headphones.

 Binaural Sampling (“CFX Grand” Voice only)

Binaural Sampling is a method that uses two special microphones set at the ear position of a performer and
records the sound from a piano as it would actually be heard. Listening to the sound with this effect
through headphones gives the impression of being immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating
from the piano. Moreover, you can enjoy the sound naturally for a long time without ear fatigue. When the
“CFX Grand” Voice is selected, connecting the headphones automatically enables the binaural sampling
sound.

Sampling

A technology which records the sounds of an acoustic instrument then stores them to the tone generator to be played based on
information received from the keyboard.

 Stereophonic Optimizer (VRM Voices other than “CFX Grand”)

Stereophonic Optimizer is an effect which reproduces the natural sound distance, like with the sound of
Binaural Sampling, even though you are listening to it on headphones. When one of the VRM Voices
(page 53) other than “CFX Grand” is selected, connecting the headphones automatically enables the
Stereophonic Optimizer.

When headphones are connected, the VRM Voices (page 53) automatically change to the sound of Binaural
Sampling or the sound enhanced with the Stereophonic Optimizer, by the default settings. However, when
headphones are connected, these functions also affect the sound from the external speaker connected to the AUX
OUT jacks or the sound for Audio recording (page 75), and may result in unusual or unnatural sound. If this
happens, turn this function off.
You can turn this function on or o on the display called up via [Menu] → [Utility] → [Speaker/Connectivity]. For
details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9).

Starting Up

Using the Headphone Hanger

A headphone hanger is included in the instrument package so that you can hang the headphones on the
instrument. Install the headphone hanger by following the instructions on page 116, 119 or 122.

NOTICE

Do not hang anything other than the headphones on the hanger. Otherwise, the instrument or the hanger may be
damaged.
