Yamaha Audio CLP-810S User Manual

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.

PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user- serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, di scontinue use immedi­ately and have it inspected by qualifi ed Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containi ng liqui ds which might spill into any openings.
• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden l oss of sound during use of the i nstrument, or if any u nusual smell s or sm oke shoul d app ear to be caused by i t, imm edi ately turn off the power
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:
switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instru­ment inspected by qualifi ed Yamaha service personnel.
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Before cleani ng the instrument, always remove the electric pl ug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Check the electric pl ug periodically and remove any dirt or dust whi ch may have accumulated on it.
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radia­tors, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, pl ace heavy objects on it, or pl ace it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or rol l anything over it.
• When removing the electric plug from an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet usi ng a multipl e­connector. Doing so can result i n l ower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.
• Remove the electric plug from the outl et when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turni ng the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum.
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vi brations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car duri ng the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.
• Do not use the instrument near other electri cal products such as televi­sions, radios, or speakers, since this mi ght 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, sol vents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the i nstrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instr ument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
• Do not pl ace the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/one-inch from the wall), since this can cause inadequate air circul ation, and possi­bly result in the instrument overheating.
• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly pro­cess. Failure to assemble the instrument i n 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 l oss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physi­cian.
USING THE BENCH (if included)
• Do not pl ay carelessly wi th or stand on the bench. Usi ng it as a tool or step-l adder 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 l oose due to extensive long- term use, tighten them periodically using the included tool.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modi­fications to the instrument.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

The Pedals

The CLP-810S has two foot pedals that produce a range of expressive ef-
fects 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 played have a long sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.

Soft (Left) Pedal...............................................................................................

The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of
