Yamaha Audio CVP-103 User Manual
Owner’s Manual
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.

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, discontinue use immediately and
have it inspected by qualified 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 containing liquids which might spill
into any openings.
• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden
loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or
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:
smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power
switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument
inspected by qualified 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 cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the
outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which 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, place heavy
objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over,
or roll anything over it.
• 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.
• 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.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet 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 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.
• 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 near other electrical products such as televisions,
radios, or speakers, since this might 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,
solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, 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.
• If the instrument has a key cover, take care that the key cover does not pinch
your fingers, and do not insert a finger or hand in the key cover gap.
• If the instrument has a key cover, never insert or drop paper or metallic or
other objects between the slits of the key cover and the keyboard. If this
happens, immediately turn off the power and remove the electric plug from
the outlet and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service
personnel.
• 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.
• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process. Failure to assemble the instrument in 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 loss. If you
experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
■USING THE BENCH (if included)
• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or stepladder 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 USER DATA
• Always save data to a floppy disk frequently, in order to help prevent the loss
of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error.
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.

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks
● Precautions
Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with
care. Follow the important precautions below.
● Compatible Disk Type
3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.
■ Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks .............
To insert a floppy disk into the disk drive:
Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing
upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards
the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly
pushing it all the way in until it clicks into place and the
eject button pops out.

To eject a floppy disk:
Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that the
FDD is stopped (check if the [DISK IN USE] lamp is off).
Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk
will automatically pop out. When the disk is fully ejected,
carefully remove it by hand.
DISK IN USE lamp
DIS
K
IN
U
S
E
Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off
during recording, reading and playing back. Doing so can
damage the disk and possibly the disk drive.
If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not
pressed in as far as it will go, the disk may not eject properly. The eject button may become stuck in a half-pressed
position with the disk extending from the drive slot by only
a few millimeters. If this happens, do not attempt to pull
out the partially ejected disk, since using force in this
situation can damage the disk drive mechanism or the
floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again, or push the disk back into
the slot and then repeat the eject procedure.
Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive
before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the drive
for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that
can cause data read and write errors.
○○○○○○○○○○○
■ Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write
Head......................................................................................
● Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument
employs a precision magnetic read/write head which,
after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of
magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventually cause read and write errors.
● To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order
Yamaha recommends that you use a commerciallyavailable dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the
head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer
about the availability of proper head-cleaning disks.
● Never open or close the key cover while a disk is
extending from the drive (i.e. in the ejected position).
The key cover may contact the disk,– possibily damaging the disk or even the disk drive.
● Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk
drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk
drive or floppy disks.
■ About the Floppy Disks ...................................
To handle floppy disks with care:
● Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or
apply pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep
floppy disks in their protective cases when they are
not in use.
● Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely
high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust
or liquids.
● Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed surface of the floppy disk inside.
● Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as
those produced by televisions, speakers, motors,
etc., since magnetic fields can partially or completely
erase data on the disk, rendering it unreadable.
● Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or
housing.
● Do not attach anything other than the provided labels
to a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in the proper location.
To protect your data (Write-protect Tab):
To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the
disk’s write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open).
Data backup
For maximum data security Yamaha
recommends that you keep two copies of
important data on separate floppy disks.
This gives you a backup if one disk is lost
or damaged. To make a backup disk use
the Disk Copy function on page 142.

Z Pull the stand up and toward yourself as far as it will go.
X Flip down the two metal supports at the left and the right on the rear
of the music stand.
C Lower the music stand so that it rests on the metal supports.
As the illustration shows, the angle of the music stand can be set in
one of three positions, according to the position of the metal supports.
Set the left and right metal supports to the same position.
■ To lower the music stand: ........................................................................
Z Pull the music stand toward yourself as far as it will go.
X Raise the two metal supports until they are flat against the rear sur-
face of the stand.
C Gently lower the music stand backward until it is all the way down.
CAUTION
• Do not try to use the music stand in a half-raised position. Also, when lowering the
stand, let the stand all the way down before releasing it.
Key Cover (Where Present)
■ To open the key cover:.................................................................................
Z Lift the cover slightly (not too much).
X Slide the cover open.
Be careful to avoid catching your
fingers when opening or closing
the cover.
■ To close the key cover:................................................................................
Z Slide the cover toward you.
X Gently lower the cover over the keys.
CAUTION
• Hold the cover with both hands when moving it, and do not release it until it is fully
opened or closed. Be careful to avoid catching fingers (yours or others) between the
cover and main unit.
• Do not place objects on top of the key cover. Small objects placed on the key cover
may fall inside the instrument when the cover is opened, and may be impossible to
remove. This could cause electric shock, short circuit, fire or other serious damage to
the instrument.

● When you’re ready to turn off the power, press the [POWER] switch
again. Both the LCD display and the power lamp below the left end
of the keyboard will turn off.
Connect a set of stereo headphones (optional) to the [PHONES] jack.
When headphones are connected, the internal speaker system is automatically shut off. Since the Clavinova has two PHONES jacks, two sets
of headphones can be used simultaneously, allowing two people to enjoy
listening to the performance.

Your Clavinova is equipped with a variety of jacks and terminals that
let you connect it to other audio and MIDI equipment. These connectors
are located at the left end of the unit on the rear panel.
You can connect other instruments that you want to play through the
Clavinova’s speakers to the AUX IN jacks, or output the Clavinova’s
sound to external speakers using the AUX OUT jacks. Use the MIDI
terminals if you want the Clavinova to control — or be controlled by —
another MIDI instrument. There’s even a TO HOST terminal that lets
you connect the Clavinova directly to a personal computer.
Be sure to turn the power off when connecting or disconnecting other
equipment. See the instructions in Chapter 9 of this manual for details.

CHAPTER 2: Basic Operation
Using the LCD Display Controls
You will refer to the LCD displa y frequently as you operate your
Clavinova. This section consists of a short tutorial that will help
you learn how to read the LCD display and use the related
controls.
Selecting a Function
Many of the Clavinova’s functions are displayed at the bottom of the
LCD. The main display shown below contains two functions: KBD VOL
and RIGHT1 VOICE. These items are displayed in rounded rectangles,
which means they represent settings that can be changed.

Before you can change a function’ s setting, however, you have to select it
first. In the main display, the RIGHT1 VOICE function is highlighted, indi-
cating that this function is currently selected.
To select a function, press and quickly release the LCD button directly
below that function. For example, you can select KBD VOL by pressing the
leftmost LCD button.

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
Changing a Setting
There are several ways to change a function’s value. Here are two of the
main ways:
■ Using the data dial or [–] and [+] buttons.................................
Once you have selected a function, you can change its setting with the
data dial or the [–] and [+] buttons. Since you have just selected KBD
VOL, try turning the dial or pressing the [–] button until it reads 0.
The KBD VOL function sets the keyboard volume. When you set it to
0, you will find that the keyboard won’t pr oduce any sound, no matter
how high you set the [MASTER V OLUME] slider!
Using the LCD Display Controls
You can press the [–] and [+] buttons
repeatedly to change the value a little, or
hold them down to change it quickly.
Refer to page 23 for details on the KBD
VOL function.
■ Using the LCD buttons..................................................................................
You can also increase a setting by simply pressing and holding the
corresponding LCD button. For now, since you’ll want to hear your keyboard later on, press and hold the leftmost LCD button until the value for
KBD VOL is back up to 127.
Hold down to increase.
Once you’ve got the keyboard volume back where it belongs, you can
learn about a couple of other ways to change settings.
This is why you should release the LCD
button quickly when you select a function: you could end up raising its value
when you want to lower it!

Changing a Setting in a Menu Display
You can use either of the methods described previously to change the current voice
selection. Just press RIGHT1 VOICE and hold the button down, or use the data dial or
the [+] button to scan through the options. Try listening to a few of the voices while
you’re at it…
The problem with this method is that it can be hard to find the voice you’re looking
for — after all, the Clavinova has more than 600 voices! So you’ll probably want to use
a menu display to see what your choices are. Try pressing the [PIANO] button now.
Voice
A voice is one of the sounds
the Clavinova uses to make
music.
PIANO E. PIANO GUITAR
SYNTHE-
SIZER
When you press one of the VOICE buttons, the LCD displays a new set of
functions listing the voices of that type. You should now be looking at a menu of
piano voices.
■ Using the LCD buttons.................................................................................................
Each piano voice in this display is listed as a separate function in a rounded rectangle. This means that you can use the LCD buttons to select voices, just like you did to
select the KBD VOL and RIGHT1 VOICE functions at the beginning of this tutorial.
Refer to page 29 for more
details about selecting voices.
18
Press an LCD button to select the corresponding voice.
■ Using the data dial or [–] and [+] buttons................................................
There is another way to select voices in this display. You can use the data dial
or the [–] and [+] buttons to change the selection. Press [–] or turn the data dial
counterclockwise to select a voice to the left; press [+] or turn the dial clockwise
to select a voice to the right.
Keep in mind that you can use the data dial or [–] and [+] buttons to select
functions only when viewing a menu display. In other displays, these controls
will change the value of the currently selected function instead.
Try selecting different piano voices in this display before you move on to the
next step.
CVP-103
Menu displays
You will use menu displays for
only two purposes: to select a
voice, as shown here, or to
select an accompaniment style
(page 49).
Use the data dial or
[–] and [+] buttons to
select a voice.
16
○ ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
Displaying a Different Page
As you were trying out the piano voices in the preceding step, you
may have been surprised to see all the voice names suddenly replaced by
an entirely different set of voices. Specifically, this occurs when you
select the rightmost voice in the display (Midi Grand), then turn the
data dial clockwise or press the [+] button.
This happens because the CVP-103 has more piano voices than it can
fit in the display. When one of the Clavinova’s features includes more
functions than will fit in the display, the functions are divided among two
or more display pages. The VOICE SELECT Piano display consists of
two display pages, as shown below:
Using the LCD Display Controls
Display pages
Some displays are divided into two or
more pages, indicated by a series of
overlapping boxes in the upper right
corner of the display. The number in the
topmost box is the number of the current
display page.
PAG E
Use the PAGE buttons to switch between pages.
When a display is divided into pages, you can use PAGE buttons to
change pages. Try it: press the [<] button to see page 1, or the [>] button to see page 2. Once you have displayed the desired page, you can use
the LCD buttons select a voice in that page as described in the preceding
step.
Resetting a Function’s Value
After you have changed a function’s value, you may find you want to
restore its basic setting. To demonstrate this, we’ll have to look at another of
the Clavinova’s displays. Press the [FUNCTION] button.
FUNCTION
This button calls up one of the Clavinova’s FUNCTION displays. You
can use this display to tune and transpose the keyboard.
The TUNE function in this display corresponds to two LCD buttons
labeled ▼ and ▲. You can use these buttons to tune the keyboard up or
down. Press and hold the ▼ button (or use the data dial or the [–] button)
to tune the keyboard down as far as it will go.
MIXER
Refer to page 138 for details about the
functions on the FUNCTION [PEDAL]
display page.
Basic settings
• The functions of the Clavinova are set
to certain standard values or standard
conditions when the instrument is
shipped. These settings and conditions
are called the basic settings.
• A function’s basic settings are generally noted in the sidebar together with
the possible settings for that function.
• You can also use the Recall function
(page 153) to restore basic settings at
any time.
Refer to page 136 for details on the
TUNE and TRANSPOSE functions.

Using the LCD Display Controls
If you play a few notes, you’ll notice that your Clavinova is flat by quite
a bit. Now, let’s assume that you want to reset the k eyboard to the standard
440.0 Hz. You could use the ▲ button (or the data dial, or the [

When you’ve got the keyboard back in tune, you’re ready to go on to the
next operation.
Using Functions in Non-rounded Rectangles
If you look at the upper right corner of the LCD, you’ll notice that the
FUNCTION display consists of several display pages. Press the PAGE [>]
key once to open the next page, which is titled FUNCTION [KEYBOARD
2]. We’ll use the functions on this page to discuss the next operation.
In addition to the FIXED VELOCITY function, which is selected in this
display, the FUNCTION [KEYBOARD 2] page has two functions in normal
rectangles: KEY TOUCH and VOICE SETTING. Such functions cannot be
selected; instead, pressing the corresponding LCD button changes the setting
directly without selecting the function.
The FIXED VELOCITY function is described on page 137.
20
CVP-103
18
○ ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
By pressing the LCD button under KEY TOUCH, for example, you can
set the Clavinova’s response to how hard you play. The value displayed in
the rectangle switches from NORMAL to SOFT, then FIXED, then HARD
— but the FIXED VELOCITY function remains selected.
The VOICE SETTING function determines whether reverb, chorus,
effect, and other settings are automatically selected when a voice is selected. It works a little differently: when you press the LCD button, the
highlighted setting switches between AUTO and MANUAL. Still,
FIXED VELOCITY remains selected.
Using the LCD Display Controls
For more details on the KEY TOUCH
function, refer to page 137.
For more details on the VOICE SETTING
function, refer to page 137.
There are other sorts of functions that are displayed in non-rounded
rectangles, like the ones you used to select a demo song in Demo mode
(see page 14). The important thing to remember about these functions is
that you don’t select them, you execute them.
Now we’re ready to return to the main display. First, however, set the
KEY TOUCH and VOICE SETTING functions back to NORMAL and
AUTO, respectively.
Exiting to the Main Display
To exit the current display, press the [EXIT] button.
EXIT
The main display should show the name of the last piano voice that you
selected in the VOICE SELECT Piano display.
Using the Direct Access Function
You can usually use [EXIT] to get back to
the main display. In some cases, however, this button will return you to a previous setting display instead. When this
happens, pressing [EXIT] again will get
you back to the main display.
The last function we need to discuss is Direct Access. The [DIRECT ACCESS] button lets you jump directly to pages with particularly useful settings.
When you press [DIRECT ACCESS] , the “Press a button to display
corresponding settings” message will appear in the LCD display.

● A Word about Messages
For ease of operation, the Clavinova displays various messages (like the message displayed by the Direct
Access function as described above) that either prompt you to the next operation, ask for confirmation, or inform you that the last operation is not effective, valid, or appropriate. When such messages appear, follow the
instructions as shown. For details about each message, please refer to the “Messages” section on page 165.
● Saving Your Changes
Now that you’ve started learning how to change the Clavinova’s settings, you may be wondering whether it
will remember the changes you’ve made even after you’ve turned the power off. The answer is yes — but you
need to tell it which settings you want it to remember .
By default, the Clavinov a will not remember most of your setting changes. You have two ways to tell it which
settings you want to remember:
• You can register your settings with the Registration function (page 89). Once you have registered your
settings, you can restore them at any time by pressing a couple of buttons.
• You can instruct the Clavinova to remember certain settings when the power is off, and recall these settings when you turn the power back on. To do this, you need to change the settings of the Backup function
(page 152).

Adjusting the Volume
The Clavinova has two sliders that let you adjust the overall volume
and the accompaniment or song playback volume. There are also
settings that you can use to adjust the keyboard volume and the
