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
Überprüfung der Stromversorgung
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
Contrôler 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
Verifique la alimentación de corriente
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.

include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/Power cord
●
ENGLISH
●
●
●
Do not open
●
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:
Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The
required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust
which may have accumulated on it.
Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters

PRECAUTIONS
(1)B-7
Location
●
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 or damage to the internal components.
●
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.
●
Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it
might accidentally fall over.
●
Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
●
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.
1/2
Connections
●
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. Also, 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.
Maintenance
●
When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp
cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or
chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Handling caution
●
Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do
not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or
instrument.
●
Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the
gaps on the key cover, panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn
off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the
AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
●
Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument,
since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
●
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 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 place the bench in an unstable position where it might
accidentally fall over.
●
Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a
tool or step-ladder 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 data
Saving and backing up your data
●
Depending upon the Backup Settings (page 48), internal data is
retained for about 1 week after the power is turned off. If the
period is exceeded, the data will be lost. Be sure to turn the
power switch on for a few minutes at least once a week. The
data could be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation.
Save important data to external media such as the Yamaha
MDF3 MIDI data filer.
Backing up the external media
●
To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto two external
media.
ENGLISH
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.

Features
The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-130/120 digital piano offers unmatched sonic realism and natural grand-piano type playability as well as Yamaha’s original “AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling (CLP-130)/AWM Stereo Sampling (CLP-120)” tonegeneration technology for rich, musical voices, and a special “Graded Hammer” keyboard that provides graded key
weight and response throughout the keyboard range.
The CLP-130/120 Grand Piano 1 and 2 voices feature totally new samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert
grand piano. The CLP-130 Grand Piano 1 voice features three velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), special
“Sustain Sampling” (page 88) that samples the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings
when the damper pedal is pressed, and “Keyoff Samples” that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released.
The CLP-130/120 comes much closer to the sound of a true acoustic piano.

TIP
To learn characteristics of the
voices, listen to demo songs for
each voice (page 16). Refer to
“Preset Voice List” on page 63
for more information on the
characteristics of each preset
voice.
TERMINOLOGY
Voice:
On the Clavinova, a voice
means a “tone” or “tonal color.”
TIP
You can control the loudness of
a voice by adjusting the force
with which you strike the keys,
although different playing styles
(touch sensitivities) have little or
no effect with certain musical
instruments.
Refer to “Preset Voice List” on
page 63.
ENGLISH
The Clavinova has three foot pedals that produce a range
of expressive effects similar to those produced by the
pedals on an acoustic piano.
Damper (Right) Pedal
The damper pedal functions in the same way as a
damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the damper
pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer. Releasing the pedal
immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.
When you select the
GRAND PIANO 1
voice on the CLP130, pressing the damper pedal activates the instrument’s
special “Sustain Samples” to accurately recreate the
unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings.
When you press the damper
pedal here, the notes you
play before you release the
pedal have a longer sustain.
CLP-130/120
NOTE
If the damper pedal doesn’t
work, make sure that the pedal
cord is properly plugged into the
main unit (page 61: CLP-130,
page 58: CLP-120).
TIP
The depth of the effect produced by the “Sustain Samples”
can be adjusted via the “Pedal
Functions” (page 44) in Function mode.
Selecting & Playing Voices
21
Sostenuto (Center) Pedal
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the
sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes
will sustain as long as you hold the pedal (as if the
damper pedal had been pressed) but all subsequently
played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible
to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are

Transposition – [TRANSPOSE]
The Clavinova’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or
down in semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures, and to let you easily
match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you
set the transposition amount to “5,” playing key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play a
song as though it were in C major, and the Clavinova will transpose it to the key of F.
