Yamaha Clavinova CLP-156 Owner's Manual page 2

Your Clavinova is a fine musical instrument, and deserves the most careful treatment.
Observe the following points and your Clavinova will sound and look great for many years.
1. Never Tamper With the Internal Circuitry
Never open the case and touch or tamper with the internal
circuitry.
2. Turn Off After Use
Always turn the POWER switch OFF after use, and close the
key cover to protect the keyboard.
3. 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 fin-
ish.
4. Avoid Vinyl
Never place any vinyl products on your Clavinova. Contact
with vinyl can cause irreversible damage to the finish.
5. Avoid Humidity & Heat
Install your Clavinova in a place that is away from direct sun-
light, excessive humidity or heat.
6. 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.
7. Name Plate Location
The CLP-156 name plate is located on the bottom panel.
8. Handling Floppy Disks
Yamaha Disklavier PianoSoft disk is write-protected, and
therefore cannot be used to save songs. To save Recorder
songs from the Recorder, a blank floppy disk should be
used (one blank disk is supplied with the Clavinova).
Taking Care of Your Floppy Disks
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.
Do NOT turn the Clavinova on or off while the disk is in
the drive.
Always eject the disk before turning the Clavinova off.
When ejecting a floppy disk from the disk drive:
Disk drive lamp
• To eject a floppy disk, press the eject button slowly as far as it will
go. Then when the disk Is fully ejected, remove it by hand.
• The disk may not be ejected properly if the eject button is pressed
too quickly or if it is not pressed in far enough. (The eject button
may become stuck halfway with the disk extending from the slot
by only a few millimeters). If this is the case, do not attempt to pull
out the partially ejected disk. Doing so may damage the disk drive
mechanism and/or the floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected
disk, try pressing the eject button once again or push the disk
back into the slot, then repeat the eject procedure carefully.

Taking Care Of Your Clavinova
Never open or close the key cover while a disk is extend-
ing from the drive (i.e. in the ejected position). The key
cover may contact the disk, possibly damaging the disk or
even the disk drive.
Do not insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive.
Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or
floppy disk.
Use only double-sided double density (2DD) 3.5-inch
floppy disks with the Clavinova.
Precautions Regarding Floppy Disk Use
Never open the disk's shutter. Dirt or dust on the Internal
magnetic surface will cause data errors.
Never leave disks near a speaker, TV, or other device that
emits a strong magnetic field.
Do not store disks in places exposed to direct sunlight or
sources of high temperature.
Do not place heavy objects such as books on top of a
disk.
Avoid getting the disks wet.
Be sure to store the disks in environmental conditions as
specified below:
• Storage temperature: 4 to 53 C (39 to 127 F).
• Storage humidity: 8 to 90% relative humidity.
• Store in an area free from dust, sand, smoke, etc.
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.
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).
Data Backup
It is recommended that you copy your recorded songs to
another disk for backup (see page 25). If the original disk is
damaged or your song is deleted, the backup disk can be
used instead of the original.
