Taking Care of Your Clavinova
Your Clavinova will give you years of playing pleasure if you observe the simple rules given below:
1
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.
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. Name Plate Location
The Clavinova name plate, including the unit’s serial number, is
located on the bottom panel of the main unit.
9. Handling Floppy Disks
Yamaha Disk Orchestra Collection and Style Disk are writeprotected, and therefore cannot be used to save songs. To save
Performance Memory songs from the Performance Memory, 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:
nism 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 only double-sided double density (2DD) 3.5-inch
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 condi-
tions 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 46). If the or iginal
disk is damaged or your song is deleted, the backup
disk can be used instead of the original.
Protecting Your Data (Write Protect Tab)
Disk drive lamp
Write protect tab
• 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 mecha-
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.
The music stand can be lowered by slightly lifting the stand and then lowering
it gently back down to its resting position.
To open the CVP-89 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 plug is properly inserted into a convenient AC wall outlet, press the [POWER] switch located to the left of the keyboard once to turn the power on. The power indicator located below the left end of
the keyaboard will light. 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 style selector LED will light, and the display will appear as shown
to the left.
One or two 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 either or both of the PHONES
jacks.
The MASTER VOLUME control adjusts the overall volume of sound
produced by the Clavinova. It also adjusts headphone volume when one or two
pairs of headphones are plugged into the PHONES jacks.
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.

The CVP-89 features a powerful “3D System” amplifier featuring a single 50-watt channel
and stereo 25-watt channels. This high-performance amplifier and speaker system puts out
exceptionally rich sound with natural response from powerful lows to shimmering highs. The
CVP-89 speaker system employs a single 18-cm speaker for center-channel low-frequency
reproduction, and three speakers each per stereo channel: 13-centimeter speaker units for
midrange sound, 2.5-cm units for outstanding high-frequency sound, and 8-cm units for
player monitoring.
The Clavinova features 25 demonstration tunes that effectively demonstrate
its sound and accompaniment capabilities. Here’s how you can select and play
the demo tunes.

NOTES
these kits will sound when Keyboard Percussion is engaged depends on the
currently selected accompaniment style. Some styles which use the “NORMAL”
kit, however, include instruments from the “PROCESSED” kit, and vice-versa.
• The accompaniment styles listed below use the “PROCESSED” drum kit while all
others use the “NORMAL” kit.
