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 Betr iebsspannungswerten auf dem T ypenschild
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.

• 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.

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 play-
back, 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:
● 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 posi-
tion. When changing the label never cover the old
label with a new label; always remove the old
label first.
• 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.
