Silent System Playback

(for models with Silent system playback)

When you play back songs in normal mode, the acoustic piano plays the piano parts, providing live piano
performance, and the accompanying sounds are output from the built-in speakers.
When you engage the Silent system, the acoustic piano is silenced and the piano parts are played by the
digital piano tone generator. This enables you to adjust the volume of not only the accompanying sounds
but of the piano as well so that you can listen to playback at a lower volume through the built-in speakers
or silently through optional stereo headphones.
Note: You cannot play the keyboard when the Silent system is engaged.
What is the Silent
System?
The Disklavier incorporates Yamaha's innovative
Silent system, in which a push of the [SILENT]
button keeps the hammers from striking the
strings, effectively silencing the acoustic piano.
Sound information is sent to the digital piano tone
generator, and output through the built-in speakers
or stereo headphones.
With this Silent feature, the Disklavier offers
additional convenience for enjoying your
Disklavier.
Quiet Mode and Silent
Mode
There are two modes to the Silent system: Quiet
mode and Silent mode. You can select either
mode to suit your surroundings.
Quiet Mode
In Quiet mode, the sounds of the digital piano and
Ensemble parts are output through the built-in
speakers. By adjusting the volume, you can listen
to songs at a lower volume than is possible with
the acoustic piano.
Silent Mode
In Silent mode, sound is output through optional
stereo headphones. Using headphones allows you
to listen to songs privately without disturbing
others at any time, day or night.
