Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Yamaha CLP-157 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.
● Stereo sampling of the acoustic piano voices offers unmatched realism and expressive power, while
the AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generator system offers rich, realistic reproductions of all
other 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.
● A number of built-in effects for wide-ranging sonic versatility.
● Unique Clavinova Tone voice provides a fresh sound for new musical expression.
● Damper pedal includes natural resonance effect for the piano voices, simulating the string and sound-
board resonance of acoustic pianos.
● Metronome feature with variable tempo facilitates practice.
● 2-track digital recorder lets you record and play back anything you play on the keyboard (up to ap-
proximately 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
close the key cover to protect the keyboard.
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-157 name plate is located on the bottom panel.

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 input signal from the AUX IN jacks is delivered to the AUX OUT
NOTE
jacks, but is not affected by the Clavinova’s volume control or reverb
effect.
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 left- and 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-157 features a powerful stereo amplifier delivering 50 watts per channel,
driving a speaker system that puts out exceptionally rich sound with natural response from powerful lows to shimmering highs. The speaker system includes two
18-centimeter, two 5-centimeter, and two 5 x 9-centimeter oval speaker units.
• The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks,

either 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 THRU connector re-transmits any data received at the MIDI IN connector, allowing “chaining” of several MIDI instruments or other devices. 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 18.
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.

The volume levels of the two voices combined in the DUAL mode are
normally set automatically to produce a pleasing balance (see “Default Settings” below). The balance can be adjusted manually by using the C2
through C4 keys on the keyboard or the TEMPO [s] and [t] buttons
while pressing the two voice selectors corresponding to the voices to be
combined in the DUAL mode. The selected balance value (1 … 15) will be
shown on the TEMPO display until the voice selectors are released.
When using the keyboard, the C3 keys produces equal balance between
the two voices (a setting of “8”), while keys to the left of C3 increase the
volume of the left voice in relation to the right voice, and keys to the right
of C3 increase the volume of the right voice in relation to the left voice. By
“left” and “right” voices we refer to the relative positions of the voice selectors — i.e. in a STRINGS/ORGAN combination STRINGS is the left voice
and ORGAN is the right voice.
When using the TEMPO buttons the first time either button is pressed
the current balance appears on the TEMPO display, then pressing the [t]
button increases the volume of the left voice in relation to the right while
the [s] button has the opposite effect. Press both the [s] and [t] buttons
simultaneously to instantly recall the equal-volume (“8”) setting.
■ A setting of “1” sets the volume of the left voice to maximum and the
volume of the right voice to minimum.
■ A setting of “8” sets both voices to the same volume.
■ A setting of “15” sets the volume of the right voice to maximum and the
volume of the left voice to minimum.

Depending on which voices you combine using the DUAL mode, the
combination may sound better if one of the voices is shifted up an octave.
To shift the right voice, press the C5 key while pressing the two voice selectors corresponding to the voices to be combined in the DUAL mode.
Press C5 again to shift the voice back to its normal range. Use the C1 key
in the same way to shift the left voice.
Default octave settings are provided for all voice combinations, as listed
in the “Default Settings” chart, below.
In a DUAL mode voice combination using STRINGS and any other
voice, it is possible to switch the STRINGS voice to a slow-attack variation
when initially selecting the voices by pressing the [STRINGS] selector
twice while holding the other voice selector. Repeat this operation to return
to the normal STRINGS voice attack.
