Turn Power On
After making sure that the Clavinova's AC cord is properly plugged
into the Clavinova itself and plugged into a convenient AC wall outlet,
press the [POWER] switch located to the right of the keyboard to turn
the power ON. In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match
the pin configuration of the AC wall outlets in your area.
When the power is turned ON, one of the voice selector LEDs will
light, and the power indicator located below the left end of the keyboard
will light.
Set the Volume
Initially set the [MASTER VOLUME] control about half way
between the "MIN" and "MAX" settings. Then, when you start playing,
re-adjust the [MASTER VOLUME] control for the most comfortable
listening level.
