provide rhythm-only accompaniment or fully-orchestrated rhythm, bass, and chord accompaniment.
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 will give you years of playing pleasure if you observe the simple rules given below:
1. Avoid Humidity & Heat
Avoid placing the Clavinova in areas that are subject to excessive humidity or heat. Do not leave the instrument near
heaters or in a car exposed to direct sunlight, for example.
2. Avoid Dust & Moisture
Avoid locations in which the instrument is likely to be exposed
to excessive dust or moisture.
3. Power-off Before Connecting
Connections between the Clavinova and any other device
must be made with both pieces of equipment turned off.
4. Handle With Care
Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or
other parts of your Clavinova, and avoid scratching or bumping it with hard objects. Further, always turn the POWER
switch off after use, and cover the instrument with the dust
cover provided.
5. Clean Carefully
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.
7. Electric Interference
Since the Clavinova contains digital circuitry, it may cause
interference if placed too close to radio or television receivers. If this occurs, move the instrument further away from the
affected equipment.
8. 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.
9. Name Plate Location
The Clavinova name plate, including the unit’s ser ial number,
is located on the bottom panel of the main unit.
6. Never Tamper With the Internal Circuitry
Never open the Clavinova cabinet and touch or tamper with
the internal circuitry. Tampering with the circuitry can result in
electrical shock!
If you will be using sheet music with your Clavinova, raise the music
stand built into it’s top panel by lifting the rear edge of the music stand, flip
the support brackets on the rear of the music stand down so that they fit into
the corresponding recesses.
The music stand can be lowered after slightly lifting the stand and flipping
the two brackets which support it upward.
POWER
■Headphones
PHONES
After making sure that the Clavinova’s AC plug is properly inserted into a
convenient AC wall outlet (a power-plug adaptor may be provided in some
areas), press the [POWER] switch located to the left of the keyboard once to
turn the power on. Press the [POWER] switch again to turn the power off.
When the power is initially turned on, the PIANO voice selector LED will
light, the POP 1 style selector LED will light, and “78” will appear on the
TEMPO display.
A standard pairs 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 the PHONES jack.
The MASTER VOLUME control adjusts the overall volume of sound produced
by the Clavinova. It also adjusts headphone volume when a pair of headphones is
plugged into the PHONES jack.
Initially set the MASTER VOLUME control about half way between the
“MIN” and “MAX” settings. Then, when you start playing, adjust the control for
the most comfortable listening level.

Separate volume controls are provided for the RHYTHM, CHORD 1,
CHORD 2, and BASS sound. These volume controls let you set up the best balance
between the various accompaniment parts when the AUTO BASS CHORD (ABC)
and Performance Memory features are used, and the RHYTHM volume control
can be used to balance the keyboard and rhythm sound when only rhythm accompaniment is used.
The volume of the keyboard can be independently adjusted by using the BASS
control while holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button — this is particularly
handy for adjusting the balance when recording the Clavinova sound.
● Additional Volume Control Mode (Reverb Depth)
Using the “Auto Accompaniment Volume Mode” utility function (page 29), the
Auto-Accompaniment volume controls can be assigned to control individual
reverb depths for the rhythm, bass, chord 1, and chord 2 parts.
• If any or all of the Auto Accompaniment volume controls are set to their minimum

positions, no sound will be produced by the corresponding parts. The maximum
control positions produce the normal volume levels.
The Internal Amplifier &
Speaker System
The CVP-49 features a powerful stereo amplifier delivering 30 watts per channel to a highperformance speaker system that puts out exceptionally rich sound with natural response
from powerful lows to shimmering highs. The CVP-49 speaker systems employ two 13centimeter speaker units for low-to-midrange reproduction, and two 5-centimeter speaker
units for outstanding high-frequency sound.
The Clavinova features 25 demonstration tunes that effectively demonstrate
its sound and accompaniment capabilities. Here’s how you can select and play
the demo tunes.

• The ROOM effect is automatically selected when the POWER switch is turned

on.
The depth of the selected reverb effect can be increased or decreased by press-
ing the TEMPO [▲] or [▼] button while holding the [REVERB] button. The reverb depth is shown on the TEMPO display while the [REVERB] and [▲] or [▼]
buttons are held. The reverb depth range is from “0” (no effect) to “15” (maximum depth).
• Reverb depth is initially set to “8” when the power is turned on (this setting can be

The Clavinova has “32-note polyphony” which
means you can normally play up to 32 notes at once.
This number varies, however, according to the functions being used, as shown in the chart below:
● The number of available notes is further reduced if the dual
mode or the performance memory is being played at the
same time. Further variation occurs with “1-layer” and “2layer” voices: the polyphony is halved with 2-layer voices.
The Clavinova also offers keyboard touch response, so the
volume and timbre of notes played can be controlled according to how “hard” you play the keys. The amount of
variation available depends on the selected voice.
● The pan (stereo) position of the voice played on the key-
board can be adjusted by moving the RHYTHM volume
control while holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
The pan position is shown on the TEMPO display, from
“PL6” for full left at the “MIN” control position, through
“Pc” for center, to “Pr6” for full right at the “MAX”
control position. This can be used to produce a broader ensemble sound with the Performance Memory multitrack
recording feature.
Each voice has a preset pan setting (indicated by “Pd” on
the TEMPO display) which is automatically set when the
power is first turned on.
NOTES
• The “Pd” keyboard scale pan default for some voices places the trebleregister sound to the right and the bass-register sound to the left. Using
a different PAN setting places the entire voice, low and high notes included, at the same position.
• The DRUMS voice has a preset PAN setting which cannot be changed.
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.

The left pedal has a number of functions which can be selected using the
[LEFT PEDAL FUNCTION] button and indicators. Each time the [LEFT
PEDAL FUNCTION] button is pressed the next function on the LEFT PEDAL
function “list” is selected and the corresponding indicator will light.
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while
the note(s) are held, those notes will be sustained as long as the pedal is held (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 played “staccato.”
The left-pedal SOSTENUTO function cannot be selected while the SOLOSTYLEPLAY feature is operating.
The left pedal performs the same function as the panel [START/STOP] buttons.
For details on the START/STOP function, refer to the “Accompaniment” section
on page 18, 19.

• The damper, soft, and sostenuto pedal functions do not affect the DRUMS voice.
