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:

	Connections
Power supply/AC adaptor

•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.

Location

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

•Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent damage to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.

•When moving the instrument, be careful to avoid catching your hands or feet on the instrument.

•Move the instrument slowly with extra care to keep the instrument from falling over, or bumping against the surroundings. We recommend that you consult a qualified carrier to transport or move the instrument.

•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.

Handling caution

•Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the fallboard or instrument. Also take care that the fallboard does not pinch your finger.

•Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps or opening on the main unit, fallboard, 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.

•Close the fallboard when the instrument is not in use. Hold the fallboard with both hands when opening or closing it. Be careful to avoid catching fingers (yours or others) between the fallboard and the main unit.

•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.

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.

Features

• Silencing System enables you play in any situation, at any time you want

Yamaha’s innovative silencing system brings you superior performance, yet with virtually complete silence. Enjoy your performance just as if you were playing an acoustic piano—but without the need to worry about bothering people around you.

• Non-contact sensors for maximum expressiveness

The non-contact optical sensors faithfully detect subtle movement of the keys without affecting the touch of the keys. They catch keystroke information precisely, enabling you to perform with rich nuance and extraordinarily subtle expression.

• Elegant, integrated design

The control unit has been given a graceful design that unobtrusively blends with the piano itself. Moreover, the simple controllers allow you to operate the instrument easily.

• Realistic ambience of the Voices enhances your performance

This instrument puts the sound of ten luxurious, authentic Voices at your fingertips. These include Yamaha’s flagship CFX piano—which delivers dynamic sound, from a brilliant high-range to powerful bass—and the Bösendorfer* Imperial, a world-class piano renowned for its subtle and warm sound. The instrument also features advanced technologies such as Binaural Sampling. Listening with headphones to a piano Voice enhanced through these methods gives the impression of being thoroughly immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the piano.

Altogether, it delivers real sound faithful to that of an actual acoustic piano, such as the quick attack and the graceful resonance of a sustained piano tone, as well as how the sound responds to your playing strength, and the resonance effect when the damper pedal is pressed.

* Bösendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.

• Playback and recording functions for aid in learning and practice

You can record your performance to this instrument and a USB flash drive, and improve your performance by listening back to the recording.

Smart Device App “Smart Pianist”

The smart device app “Smart Pianist” (available as a free download) enables you to use the functions such as selecting Voices, controlling the metronome intuitively with the visualized interface, or display the score on your smart device.
