Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Yamaha CLP-153SG Clavinova. Your Clavinova is a fine musical
instrument that employs advanced Yamaha music technology. With the proper care, your
Clavinova will give you many years of musical pleasure.
● Yamaha’s AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generator system offers rich, realistic voices.
● Piano-like touch response — adjustable in 4 stages — provides extensive expressive control and out-
standing playability.
● Dual play mode allows 2 voices to be played simultaneously.
● Unique Clavinova Tone voice provides a fresh sound for new musical expression.
● Damper pedal includes natural resonance effect for the piano voice, simulates the string and sound-
board resonance of acoustic pianos.
● Metronome feature with variable tempo facilitates practice.
● Record and play back anything you play on the keyboard (up to approximately 4,200 notes).
● MIDI compatibility and a range of MIDI functions make the Clavinova useful in a range of advanced
MIDI music systems.
In order to make the most of your Clavinova’s performance potential and features, we urge you
to read this Owner’s Manual thoroughly, and keep it in a safe place for later reference.
Taking Care Of Your Clavinova
Your Clavinova is a fine musical instrument, and deserves the most careful treatment.
Observe the following points and your Clavinova will sound and look great for many years.
1 Never open the case and touch or tamper with the inter-
nal circuitry.
2 Always turn the POWER switch OFF after use, and
cover the keyboard with the dust cover provided.
3 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.
4 Never place any vinyl products on your Clavinova. Con-
tact with vinyl can cause irreversible damage to the
finish.
5 Install your Clavinova in a place that is away from di-
rect sunlight, excessive humidity or heat.
6 Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors
or other parts of your Clavinova, and avoid scratching
or bumping it with hard objects.
● Name Plate Location
The CLP-153SG name plate is located on the bottom
panel.

Press the [POWER] switch once to turn the power
ON, a second time to turn the power OFF. When the
power is initially turned ON, the [PIANO] voice selector LED will light.
2 [MASTER VOLUME] Control
The [MASTER VOLUME] control adjusts the vol-
ume (level) of sound produced by the Clavinova’s
internal stereo sound system. The [MASTER VOL-
UME] control also adjusts headphone volume when a
pair of headphones is plugged into the PHONES jack
(page 4).
3 [TEMPO] Control
This control adjusts the tempo of the CLP-153SG metronome function as well as the playback tempo of the
recorder function. The tempo range is from 32 to 280
quarter-note beats per minute.
4 [REVERB] Button
The [REVERB] button selects a number of digital
reverb effects that you can use for extra depth and
expressive power. See page 7 for details.
5 [METRONOME] Button
Turns the metronome sound on and off. The
[TEMPO] control, above, is used to set the tempo of
the metronome sound. More precise tempo settings can
be achieved by using the [METRONOME] button and
the CLP-153SG keyboard as described on page 11.
6 Voice Selectors
The CLP-153SG has five voice selectors. Simply press
any of the voice selectors to select the corresponding
voice. The voice selector LED will light to indicate
which voice is currently selected.
The CLP-153SG also has a DUAL mode in which two
voices can be played simultaneously across the full
range of the keyboard — see page 6 for details.
• The PIANO voice is automatically selected
NOTE
whenever the [POWER] switch is initially turned
ON.
7 RECORDER [PLAY] and [REC] Buttons
These buttons control the CLP-153SG recorder, letting
you record and play back just about anything you play
on the keyboard — up to a maximum of about 4,200
notes. See page 12 for details.

of the entire keyboard up or down) and MIDI functions. For details refer to “TRANSPOSITION” on
page 9, “TOUCH SENSITIVITY” on page 8, and
“MIDI FUNCTIONS” on page 14, respectively.
0 Pedals
The CLP-153SG’s soft/sostenuto (left) and damper
(right) pedals provide a range of expressive control
capabilities similar to the pedal functions on an acoustic piano. See page 9 for details.

If you will be using sheet music with your
Clavinova, raise the music stand built into its top
panel by lifting the rear edge of the music stand, then
flip down the music stand braces and engage them
with the corresponding recesses.
The music stand can be lowered after slightly lifting it and folding the two brackets which support it
against the back of the stand.

Stereo System
These jacks are intended for use with an external tone generator module such as
the Yamaha DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit. The stereo outputs from the external
tone generator module are connected to the AUX IN L and R jacks, allowing the
sound of the tone generator to be reproduced via the Clavinova’s internal sound
system and speakers.
The AUX OUT L/L+R and R jacks deliver the output of the Clavinova for connection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA system, or recording equipment. If you will be connecting the Clavinova to a monaural sound system, use
only the L/L+R jack. When a plug is inserted into the L/L+R jack only, the leftand right-channel signals are combined and delivered via the L/L+R jack so you
don’t lose any of the Clavinova’s sound.
The Internal Amplifier & Speaker System
The CLP-153SG features a high-performance stereo amplifier delivering 20 watts per channel
to a pair of 16-cm speaker units.
• The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either
NOTE
directly or through external equipment.

The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device (such
as the DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit) which can be used to control the Clavinova.
The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the Clavinova (e.g.
note and velocity data produced by playing the Clavinova keyboard).
More details on MIDI are given in “MIDI FUNCTIONS” on page 14.
Two pairs of standard pair 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 of the PHONES jacks.
