Yamaha Audio CVP-79A, CVP-69A, CVP-69, CVP-59S 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.

Vergewissern Sie sich vor dem Anschließen an das Stromnetz, daß die örtliche Netzspannung den Betriebsspannungswerten auf dem Typenschild an der Unterseite des Instruments entspricht. In bestimmten Verkaufsgebieten ist das Instrument mit einem Spannungswähler an der Unterseite neben der Netzkabeldurchführung ausgestattet. Falls vorhanden, muß der Spannungswähler auf die örtliche Netzspannung eingestellt werden. Der Spannungswähler wurde werkseitig auf 240 V voreingestellt. Zum Verstellen drehen Sie den Spannungsregler mit einem Schlitzschraubendreher, bis der Zeiger auf den korrekten Spannungswert weist

WICHTIG

Netzspannung überprüfen

IMPORTANT

Vérifiez la source d’alimentation

Vérifiez que la tension spécifiée sur le panneau arrière correspond à la tension du secteur. Dans certaines régions, l’instrument peut être équipé d’un sélecteur de tension situé sur le panneau inférieur du clavier à proximité du cordon d’alimentation. Vérifiez que ce sélecteur est bien réglé en fonction de la tension secteur de votre région. Le sélecteur de tension est réglé sur 240 V au départ d’usine. Pour modifier ce réglage, utilisez un tournevis à lame plate pour tourner le sélecteur afin de mettre l’indication correspondant à la tension de votre région vis à vis du repère triangulaire situé sur le panneau.

IMPORTANTE

Compruebe la alimentación de su área

Asegúrese de que tensión de alimentación de CA de su área corresponde con la tensión especificada en la placa de características del panel inferior de la unidad del teclado principal, cerca del cable de alimentación. Asegúrese de que el selector de tensión esté ajustado a la tensión de su área. El selector de tensión se ajusta a 240V cuando la unidad sale de fábrica. Para cambiar el ajuste, emplee un destornillador de cabeza “recta” para girar el selector de modo que aparezca la tensión correcta al lado del indicador del panel.

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 close the key cover to protect the keyboard (CVP-79A/ 69/69A), or cover the instrument with the dust cover provided (CVP-59S).

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.

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!

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

9. Name Plate Location

The Clavinova name plate, including the unit’s serial number, is located on the bottom panel of the main unit.

10.Handling Floppy Disks

Yamaha Disk Orchestra Collection disks are write-protected and therefore cannot be used to save songs. To save your recorded songs a blank floppy disk should be used (one blank disk is supplied with the Clavinova).

Taking Care of Your Floppy Disks

■ Do NOT eject the disk during recording or playback, or at any time when the disk drive lamp is lit. Doing so may damage both the disk and the FDD.

■ Do NOT turn the Clavinova on or off while the disk is in the drive.

■ Always eject the disk before turning the Clavinova off.

■ When ejecting a floppy disk from the disk drive:

• To eject a floppy disk, press the eject button slowly as far as it will go. Then when the disk Is fully ejected, remove it by hand.

• The disk may not be ejected properly if the eject button is pressed too quickly or if it is not pressed in far enough. (The eject button may become stuck halfway with the disk extending from the slot by only a few millimeters). If this is the case, do not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk. Doing so may damage the disk drive mechanism and/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, then repeat the eject procedure carefully.

■ 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, possibly damaging the disk or even the disk drive.

■ Do not insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disk.

■ Use the 3.5-inch 2DD or 2HD floppy disks with the Clavinova.

Precautions Regarding Floppy Disk Use

■ Never open the disk’s shutter. Dirt or dust on the Internal magnetic surface will cause data errors.

■ Never leave disks near a speaker, TV, or other device that emits a strong magnetic field.

■ Do not store disks in places exposed to direct sunlight or sources of high temperature.

■ Do not place heavy objects such as books on top of a disk.

■ Avoid getting the disks wet.

■ Be sure to store the disks in environmental conditions as

specified below:

• Storage temperature: 4° to 53°C (39° to 127°F).

• Storage humidity: 8 to 90% relative humidity.

• Store in an area free from dust, sand, smoke, etc.

■ Be sure to apply the disk label at the proper position. When changing the label never cover the old label with a new label; always remove the old label first.

Head Cleaning

The head of the disk drive unit will get dirty as you use it eventually causing data errors. If this occurs, clean the head with a

3.5 inch head cleaning disk (available from most computer

supply stores).

Data Backup

It is recommended that you copy your recorded songs to another disk for backup (see page 102). If the original disk is damaged or your song is deleted, the backup disk can be used instead of the original.

Protecting Your Data (Write Protect Tab)

Disk drive lamp

Write protect tab open (locked — write protected)

Write protect tab closed (unlocked — write enabled)

Preparation

The Music Stand

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 down the braces on either side of the rear of the music stand so that they catch inside the protrusions on the top panel. Reverse this operation o lower the stand.

The Power Switch

POWER

Headphones

To open the CVP-79A/69/69A key cover lift it just enough to clear the keys (do not lift excessively) then slide the cover back into the main unit. To close the cover slide it forward all the way and then lower it gently until it closes completely.

After making sure that the Clavinova’s AC cord is properly plugged into the Clavinova itself and plugged 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 indicator will light, the POP style selector indicator will light, and the display will appear as shown to the left.

Memory Backup

In addition to the contrast and language settings introduced in this section, the Clavinova has a range of parameters that can be retained in memory even while the power is off, so you don’t have to reset all your favorite settings every time you want to play. The “Backup” function described on page 107 lets you select which parameters will be backed up (retained in memory), and which will be reset to their default values whenever the power is turned off.

Parameters that are backed up will be retained in memory for about a week if the Clavinova is not turned on during this time. All parameters will be reset to their default values if the power remains off for longer than about a week. To ensure that your backed-up settings are maintained, turn the power on for a few minutes at least once a week.

Demonstration Playback

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.

• When a Drum Kit voice is selected only the keys with drum or percussion symbols printed above them will sound.

• The TRANSPOSE, TUNE, and OCTAVE SHIFT functions described on pages 91 and 92 do not affect the Drum Kit voices.

The Keyboard & Polyphony

The CVP-69/69A/59S can play up to 32 notes at once while the CVP-79A can play up to 64. This number includes all notes being played at the same time in any single or combination use of dual, split, accompaniment, and disk functions. Further variation occurs with “1-element” and “2-element” voices: the polyphon y is halved with 2-element voices. The same applies to stereo voices. The voice list on page 116 shows all stereo, 2-element, and 1-element voices in the CVP-79A/69/69A/59S.

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 and the setting of the TOUCH SENSITIVITY parameter (page 91).

Dual Mode

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

The DUAL mode makes it possible to play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. This makes it easy to create exceptionally rich, thick tonal textures.

Individual Part Depth Control

The depth of the reverb effect applied to the accompaniment rhythm, bass, chord, and keyboard parts can be individually adjusted via the parameters provided in page 2 of the reverb display. These values are relative to the total depth value. Use the PAGE buttons to select page 2, press the LCD button corresponding to the part for which you want to adjust the reverb depth, then use the data dial or [+]/[–] buttons to adjust the reverb depth as required. The LCD buttons can be held to increase the depth for the corresponding part only. The individual part reverb depth range is from “0” (no reverb) to “100” (maximum reverb). The default setting of “50” can be instantly recalled for any part by simultaneously pressing the [+] and [–] buttons while the depth parameter for the desired part is selected.

• The TOTAL DEPTH setting applies to all parts.

• The actual reverb depth for each part is determined by the product of the TOTAL DEPTH and individual part depth settings. For example, if one is “0”, no reverb will be produced even if the other is “100”.

• Both total and individual part depth can be adjusted in five steps.

Effect Depth Control

When a single voice is selected only one depth parameter will appear. When the DUAL or SPLIT mode is engaged, separate depth parameters will appear for the main and 2nd (dual) or right- and left-hand (split) voices. The depth of the selected effect can be increased or decreased by using the DEPTH1(R) and/or DEPTH2(L) LCD buttons, or the data dial or [+]/[–] buttons when the DEPTH1(R) or DEPTH2(L) parameter is highlighted. The DEPTH1(R) and DEPTH2(L) buttons can be held to only increase the depth of the corresponding voice. The depth range is from “0” (no effect) to “100” (maximum effect depth). The default DEPTH1(R) or DEPTH2(L) setting can be instantly recalled for either depth parameter by simultaneously pressing the [+] and [–] buttons while the desired depth parameter is selected — DEPTH2(L) is reset to “50”.

frequencies.

• The main or right-hand voice effect type is commonly used for the 2nd or left-hand voice.

• The depth can be adjusted in five step intervals.

• The DEPTH1(R) and/or DEPTH2(L) value for some effect types may be fixed to 100 and/or 0 respectively and cannot be changed.

One-touch Preset Recall

Press the PRESET LCD button to instantly recall the preset effect type and DEPTH1(R) settings for the current voice. The DEPTH2(L) setting is not affected.

• Each voice has its own individual default effect on/off, type, and depth settings. Your own settings can be backed up via the Backup function described on page 107.

• The DEPTH2(L) setting affects all voices. Its default value is “50”, but your own setting can be backed up via the Backup function described on page

107.

The Pedals

The CVP-79A/69/69A has three pedals and the CVP-59S has two pedals which offer a range of advanced expressive capabilities.

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

Right Pedal (Damper 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.

• The CVP-79A damper pedal can be set for continuous (default) or on/off type damping control via the “DAMPER MODE” function (page 94).

Center Pedal (Sostenuto Pedal — CVP-79A/69/69A only)

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.”
