In order to make the most of your Clavinova's performance potential and features, we urge you to read this
Owner's Manual thoroughly, and keep it in a safe place for later reference.
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 ex-
cessive 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 bump-
ing it with hard objects. Further, always turn the POWER
switch off after use, and cover the instrument with the dust
cover provided.
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!
Introduction

Taking Care of Your Clavinova

Full-keyboard ABC (Auto Bass Chord) provides ac-
companiment as you play across the entire
keyboard.
24 Solo Styleplay variations make it simple to pro-
duce rich, complex harmonies.
Performance memory (2-track + ABC + Rhythm)
records and plays back your keyboard performances.
MIDI compatibility, GM voices, and a range of MIDI
functions make the Clavinova useful in a range of
advanced MIDI music systems.
7. Electric Interference
Since the Clavinova contains digital circuitry, it may cause
interference if placed too close to radio or television receiv-
ers. If this occurs, move the instrument further away from the
affected equipment.
8. 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" screw-
driver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage
appears next to the pointer on the panel.
9. Name Plate Location
The Clavinova name plate, including the unit's serial number,
is located on the bottom panel of the main unit.
