Precautions Regarding Floppy Disk Use
s Never open the disks shutter. Dirt or dust on the Internal magnetic surface will cause data errors. s Never leave disks near a speaker, TV, or other device that emits a strong magnetic field. s Do not store disks in places exposed to direct sunlight or sources of high temperature. s Do not place heavy objects such as books on top of a disk. s Avoid getting the disks wet. s Be sure to store the disks in environmental conditions as specified below:
Storage temperature: 4 to 53C (39 to 127F). Storage humidity: 8 to 90% relative humidity. Store in an area free from dust, sand, smoke, etc.

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 units serial number, is located on the bottom panel of the main unit.
s 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.

10.Handling Floppy Disks

Yamaha Disk Orchestra Collection and Style Disk are writeprotected, and therefore cannot be used to save songs. To save Performance Memory songs from the Performance Memory, a blank floppy disk should be used (one blank disk is supplied with the Clavinova).

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).
Taking Care of Your Floppy Disks
s 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. s Do NOT turn the Clavinova on or off while the disk is in the drive. s Always eject the disk before turning the Clavinova off. s When ejecting a floppy disk from the disk drive:

Data Backup

It is recommended that you copy your recorded songs to another disk for backup (see page 39). 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

s The Music Stand

If you will be using sheet music with your Clavinova, raise the music stand built into its 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.

Use the TEMPO [v] and [w] buttons to set the desired accompaniment tempo if necessary (see Tempo Control on page 17).

V Play......

Pressing any key on the ABC section of the keyboard (up to the split point normally the F#2 key) will cause the automatic chord and bass accompaniment to begin (synchro start is automatically selected in the ABC mode). If you press a C key, for example, a C-major accompaniment will be played. Press another key in the ABC section of the keyboard to select a new chord. The key you press will always determine the root of the chord played (i.e. C for a C chord).
Automatic synchro start switching can be enabled or disabled via the utility 1 mode Auto Synchro Start Switching function, described on page 43.
q Playing Minor, Seventh, and Minor-seventh Chords in the Singlefinger Mode For a minor chord, press the root key and a black key to its left. For a seventh chord, press the root key and a white key to its left. For a minor-seventh chord, press the root key and both a white and black key to its left.
B Stop the Accompaniment.....
Press the [START/STOP] or [INTRO/ENDING] button to stop the accompaniment.
Press the [SINGLE FINGER] button so that its indicator goes out when you want to exit from the SINGLE FINGER mode.

s Fingered Accompaniment

The FINGERED mode is ideal if you already know how to play chords on a keyboard, since it allows you to supply your own chords for the Auto Accompaniment feature.

Z Select FINGERED.....

FINGERED
Press the [FINGERED] button to select the FINGERED mode (the FINGERED indicator will light).
Select an accompaniment style using the style selectors (see Style Selection on page 17).
Use the TEMPO [v] and [w] buttons to set the desired accompaniment tempo if necessary (see Tempo Control on page 17 for more details).
As soon as you play any chord (up to 4 notes) on the lower keyboard (up to the split point normally the F#2 key), the Clavinova will automatically begin to play the chord along with the selected rhythm and an appropriate bass line (synchro start is automatically selected in the ABC mode*).

* Automatic synchro start switching can be enabled or disabled via the utility 1 mode Auto Synchro Start Switching function, described on page 43.
The Clavinova will accept the following chord 20 types:
Major [M] Minor [m] Major seventh [M7] Sixth [6] Seventh [7] Minor sixth [m6] Minor seventh [m7] Minor major seventh [mM7] Minor seventh flatted fifth [m7-5] Minor flatted fifth [m-5] Major flatted fifth [M-5] Seventh flatted fifth [7-5] Major seventh flatted fifth [M7-5] Seventh suspended fourth [7sus4] Suspended fourth [sus4] Augmented [aug] Seventh sharp fifth [7+5] Major seventh sharp fifth [M7+5] Diminished [dim] Half diminished (minor major seventh flatted fifth) [mM7-5]
The automatic accompaniment will sometimes not change when related chords are played in sequence (e.g. some minor chords followed by the minor seventh).
q The [INTRO/ENDING], [NORMAL/FILL TO NORMAL], and [VARIATION/FILL TO VARIATION] buttons can be used in the ABC mode to create pattern variations in the same way that they are used with rhythm patterns (refer to the Accompaniment section on page 18, 19 for details).

q Full-keyboard ABC

FULL KEYBOARD

When this advanced auto-accompaniment mode is engaged (press the [FULL KEYBOARD] button so that its indicator lights) the Clavinova will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard: chords, a bass line, arpeggiated chords, a melody line. You dont have to worry about specifying the accompaniment chords. Although Full-keyboard ABC is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature. Try playing a few simple songs in the Full-keyboard ABC mode to get a feel for its capabilities.
Chord detection occurs at approximately 8th-note intervals. Extremely short chords less than an 8th note in length may therefore not be detected.
q Conventional Fullkeyboard ABC

SINGLE FINGER FINGERED

The Conventional Full-keyboard ABC mode can be engaged by pressing the [SINGLE FINGER] and [FINGERED] buttons simultaneously (both indicators will light). In this mode the split point is de-activated and notes played anywhere on the keyboard are detected and used to determine the harmonization of the accompaniment. In the Conventional Full-keyboard ABC mode, chord detection is possible when at least three notes are played anywhere on the keyboard.

Drum and Percussion parts (track 15). Other backing parts except Bass (track 4-10). Main left- and right-hand parts (track 1 & 2). Bass part (track 3).
During DISK ORCHESTRA playback use the RHYTHM volume control to adjust the volume of the drum and percussion parts, the CHORD 2 volume control adjusts the volume of the main left- and right-hand parts, the CHORD 1 volume control adjusts the volume of all other parts except the bass, and the BASS control adjusts the volume of the bass part.
When a different song is selected the volume settings will correspond to those in the song data, regardless of the positions of the volume controls.
s Guided Right- and Left-hand Practice

Only one track can be recorded at a time. If you press [RIGHT/1TR] you will record on track number 1. If you press [LEFT/2TR] you will record on track number 2. If you press [ORCH/3-10TR], you can choose to record on track 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 by selecting the desired track number using the [v] and [w] buttons below the SONG NUMBER display while holding the [ORCH/3-10] button (the selected track number will appear on the SONG NUMBER display). When a record track has been selected the corresponding indicator will light. q Recording with Rhythm To record a rhythm in addition to the part you play on the keyboard, select the desired style via the STYLE selectors and press the [RHYTHM] button so that its indicator glows red. rhY will appear on the SONG NUMBER display while the [RHYTHM] button is held. The rhythm data will be recorded on track 15. If you only want to record the rhythm track, de-select all other selected tracks by pressing their buttons so that their indicators go out. If you select the rhythm track for recording, or the rhythm track already contains data, the metronome will sound at the current tempo. q Recording with ABC When recording with ABC auto-accompaniment the keyboard part can only be recorded to track 1 or 2. To record with ABC press the [RIGHT/1TR] or [LEFT/ 2TR] button and then engage an ABC mode. The [ORCH/3-10TR] and [RHYTHM] indicators will light automatically in addition to the [RIGHT/1TR] or [LEFT/2TR] indicator, and the ABC sound will be recorded on tracks 3 through 10 while what you play on the keyboard will be recorded on track 1 or 2. If you only want to record the ABC sound, de-select track 1 or 2 by pressing the appropriate button so that the indicator goes out. In the same way, de-select the [RHYTHM] track if you dont want to record the rhythm sound. q Recording with Solo Styleplay If you also select solo styleplay, the solo styleplay sound will be recorded on tracks 11 through 14. Solo Styleplay can be recorded at the same time as SINGLE FINGER or FINGERED ABC, but not at the same time as FULL KEYBOARD mode ABC. The synchronized start mode is automatically selected when the record ready mode is engaged, so recording will begin automatically as soon as any key on the keyboard is pressed or the [START/STOP] button is pressed (see page 18 for the various synchro start modes). The current measure number is shown on the TEMPO display as you record.

Punch-in recording cannot be used with ABC, SOLO STYLEPLAY, or RHYTHM tracks.

s Playback

Original Performance Memory recordings can be played back and controlled in the same way as described in the Disk Orchestra section, beginning on page 26. You can individually select tracks to play back (page 27), use the guide function (and the keyboard guide lamps on the CVP-87A) with the data recorded on tracks 1 and 2 (page 28), and use the A-B repeat function (page 29).
The playback voice cannot be changed when playing back Performance Memory data (the voice played via the keyboard can be changed).
q Volume Control The RHYTHM, CHORD 1, CHORD 2, and BASS volume controls can be used to adjust the volume of the corresponding accompaniment parts when playing back data that was recorded with ABC. When playing back data that was recorded without ABC, however, these volume controls have the following track assignments. RHYTHM: CHORD 1: CHORD 2: BASS: RHYTHM track 4 - 10 tracks 1 & 2 tracks 3 track
q Multi-timbre Recording via MIDI
Data from an external MIDI device such as a sequencer or music computer can also be recorded to the Performance Memory as follows:
Z Make the Required MIDI Connections
Connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the transmitting device to the Clavinovas MIDI IN terminal using a standard MIDI cable.

s Panel Data Send
This function causes all the current Clavinova panel settings (selected voice, etc) to be transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector. This is particularly useful if you will be recording performances to a MIDI sequence recorder which will be used to control the Clavinova on playback. By transmitting the Clavinova panel settings and recording them on the MIDI sequence recorder prior to the actual performance data, the Clavinova will be automatically restored to the same settings when the performance is played back.
Z Hold [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] and press [CHOIR]. X Release [MIDI/TRANSPOSE].
s MIDI Transpose Transmit
This function transposes the pitch of transmitted MIDI note data up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of six semitones. The pitch of notes played on the keyboard is not affected.
Display t-6 t-5 t-4 t-3 t-2 t-1 t-0 t-1 t-2 t-3 t-4 t-5 t-6 Transposition -6 semitones -5 semitones -4 semitones -3 semitones -2 semitones -1 semitone Normal +1 semitone +2 semitones +3 semitones +4 semitones +5 semitones +6 semitones

s The Clavinova Common Voice Mode
This mode is similar to the Multi-Timbre Mode described on page 49, but MIDI program change numbers received on all channels are converted to Yamaha Clavinova Common Voice Numbers. MIDI program change numbers transmitted when the panel voice selectors are operated are also converted to the common voice numbers. The Clavinova Common Voice mode is always off when the power is initially turned on. It can be activated as follows: Z Hold [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] and press [ELEC BASS].

= Common Voice mode ON. = Common Voice mode OFF.
X Release [MIDI/TRANSPOSE].
The panel voices you play on the keyboard are not converted to the Clavinova Common Voices in this mode.

The Connectors

Although the Clavinova is a self-contained musical instrument that simply be plugged into the AC mains outlet and played, it also features a number of connectors for system expansion.
q OPTIONAL IN L and R Jacks (CVP-87A & CVP-85A)....

OPTIONAL IN

These jacks are intended primarily for use with external synthesizers or tone generator modules. For example, the outputs of the synthesizer/tone generator can be to the Clavinova OPTIONAL IN jacks, allowing the sound of the synthesizer/tone generator to be reproduced via the Clavinovas internal amplifier and speaker system.
The input signal from the OPTIONAL IN jacks is delivered to the AUX. OUT jacks, but is not affected by the Clavinovas volume control or reverb effect.
q AUX. OUT L/L+R and R Jacks (CVP-87A & CVP-85A)...

AUX. OUT

R L/L+R
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 dont lose any of the Clavinovas sound.
The AUX. OUT jack signal must never be returned to the OPTIONAL IN jacks, either directly or through external equipment.

Stereo System

q MIDI IN, THRU and OUT Connectors (MIDI IN and OUT on the CVP-83S)...
MIDI Sequencer Tone Generator
The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device (such as a synthesizer, sequencer, music computer, etc.) which can be used to control the Clavinova. The MIDI THRU connector provided on the CVP-87A and CVP-85A 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 47.

CVP-87A /85A

q EXP. PEDAL Jack (CVP-87A)....
An optional Yamaha EP-1 Expression Pedal can be connected to this jack to allow foot expression (swell) control.

Troubleshooting

1. No Sound When the Power is Turned On Is the AC plug properly connected to an AC wall outlet? Check the AC connection carefully. Is the MASTER VOLUME control turned up to a reasonable listening level? 2. No Rhythm, ABC, or Performance Memory Sound Check the Auto Accompaniment volume control settings. No sound is produced if these are set to their minimum positions. 3. The Clavinova Reproduces Radio or TV Sound This can occur if there is a high-power transmitter in your vicinity. Contact your Yamaha dealer. 4. Intermittent Static Noise This is usually due to turning on or off a household appliance or other electronic equipment which is fed by the same AC mains line as your Clavinova. 5. Interference Appears On Radio or TV Sets Located Near the Clavinova The Clavinova contains digital circuitry which can generate radio-frequency noise. The solution is to move the Clavinova further away from the affected equipment, or vice versa. 6. Distorted Sound When the Clavinova is Connected to An External Amplifier/Speaker System If the Clavinova is connected to a stereo system or instrument amplifier and the sound is distorted, reduce the setting of the Clavinova volume control to a level at which the distortion ceases.
If you encounter what appears to be a malfunction, please check the following points before assuming that your Clavinova is faulty.
