Getting Started — Playing the Clavinova as a Piano With the full set of pedals and expressive keyboard, this instrument can be played just like a real acoustic piano. This section shows you how to simply set up the instrument and play it. It also shows you how to use the built-in metronome, convenient for practice purposes. We’ve also included for your piano-playing pleasure “50 greats for the Piano” (Music Book) to help you master the instrument. Turning the power on 1. Connect the power cable.
CAUTION • Do not place objects such as a piece of metal or paper on top of the key cover. Small objects placed on the key cover may fall inside the unit when the cover is opened and may be nearly impossible to remove. This could cause electric shock, short circuit, fire or other serious damage to the instrument. • Hold the cover with both hands when opening or closing it. Do not release it until it is fully opened or closed.
Music braces These braces are for holding the pages of music books in place. To open To close Adjusting the display contrast — [CONTRAST] You can adjust the contrast of the display by turning the [CONTRAST] knob located to the right of the display. Turn this to adjust the display contrast. CONTRAST Difference between brightness and darkness. Setting the volume — [MASTER VOLUME] To adjust the volume, use the [MASTER VOLUME] dial located at the left of the panel.
Using headphones Connect a pair of headphones to one of the [PHONES] jacks. When the headphones are plugged into either of the [PHONES] jacks, the internal speaker system is automatically shut off. Two [PHONES] jacks are provided. Two sets of standard stereo headphones can be plugged in. (If you are using only one pair of headphones, you can plug them into either of these jacks.) Bottom surface CAUTION Do not use headphones at a high volume for an extended period of time. Doing so may cause hearing loss.
Using the pedals This instrument is equipped with three foot pedals: damper pedal (right), sostenuto pedal (center), and soft pedal (left). Damper pedal (right pedal) When you press the damper pedal, the notes you play have a longer sustain. When you select a Grand Piano Voice, pressing the damper pedal activates the instrument’s special “Sustain Samples” to accurately recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings. You can set the depth of the Sustain Sampling (page 71).
Using the metronome — METRONOME [ON/OFF] The instrument has a built-in metronome (a device that keeps an accurate tempo) that is a convenient tool for practice. 1 2 TEMPO [DOWN] [UP] buttons 1. Press the METRONOME [ON/OFF] button to start the metronome. Adjusting the tempo Press the TEMPO [DOWN] or [UP] button to call up the tempo in the display. Tempo 120 To adjust the tempo (number of beats per minute: 5 – 500), use the TEMPO [DOWN]/[UP] or the D [–]/[+] buttons.
Introduction to the controls This instrument has many buttons and controls — so many that you may feel overwhelmed at first. However, once you understand the basic operations, you’ll find the instrument is very easy to use. Selecting the item/parameter and changing the value Each function may have many items or parameters from which you can choose. To select an item or parameter, press one of the A [–][+] – D [–][+] buttons.
Maintenance To keep your Clavinova in optimum condition, we recommend that you periodically follow the maintenance points below. Instrument and Bench Maintenance • When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. NOTICE Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. If you are using a model with a polished finish, gently remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth.

Playing a one-hand part — Part Cancel function (MIDI Songs) Some MIDI Songs such as Preset Songs are divided into the right hand and left hand parts. By using such Song data, you can practice the left hand by turning on only the right hand part, and practice the right hand by turning on only the left hand part — allowing you to practice parts separately for easy mastery of difficult material. 2 43 1. Select a Song to be practiced. For information on selecting a Song, see page 27. 2.
Repeat function (MIDI Songs) You can play a single entire Song or a specified range of the current Song can be played back repeatedly. This is convenient for repeatedly practicing difficult phrases.
