Score
When displaying the music score, long notes that
have been entered, such as whole notes and ties, are
not displayed correctly.
• Long notes, such as whole notes and ties, may not be
shown in the music score display exactly as they were
entered. To have a more accurate display of these notes,
select "Tenuto" by pressing the [H] button before input-
ting each note in the Step Record display (page 141).
The tempo, beat, measure and music notation is not
displayed correctly.
• Some Song data for the Clavinova has been recorded
with special "free tempo" settings. For such Song data,
the tempo, beat, measure and music notation will not be
displayed correctly.
The note name partially obscures the note in the dis-
play.
• When several notes occur close to each other, the note
name may obscure the note at left.
The music score of the right-hand/left-hand part is
not displayed.
• The appropriate channels have not been assigned to the
right-hand and left-hand parts. Set RIGHT and LEFT to
the appropriate channels (page 38).
The notation in the display is cut off, with the middle
of a measure starting on the next line.
• When all the notes of a measure cannot fit on one line,
the remaining notes in the measure are carried over to
the next line.
Dotted notes are indicated as rests.
• This is normal; sometimes dotted notes are indicated as
rests.
Chords are not displayed.
• If the selected Song does not contain chord data, chords
are not displayed.
Lyrics (Karaoke)
Lyrics are not displayed.
• If the selected Song does not contain lyric data, lyrics are
not displayed.
Some of the lyrics overlap each other.
• This happens for Songs containing many lyrics.
The Lyrics Background setting cannot be changed.
• When the background color is specified in the song
data, the Lyrics Background setting cannot be changed.
Performance assistant technology
Performance assistant technology does not work
appropriately.
• Press the SONG [STOP] button to stop Song playback,
then set the [ACMP ON/OFF] and PART ON/OFF [LEFT]
to off. Finally, restart the Song.
Video out
The Clavinova display contents cannot be sent via
video out and do not show on an external monitor.
• Make sure that the NTSC or PAL setting corresponds to
the standard of your particular video equipment
(page 53).
Some flashing parallel lines appear in the television or
video monitor.
• Occasionally some flashing parallel lines may appear in
the television or video monitor. This does not necessarily
indicate that the monitor is malfunctioning. For optimum
results, try adjusting the color settings on the monitor
itself.
The monitor you are using may not show the instru-
ment's display contents as expected.
• Keep in mind that even after adjusting all settings as rec-
ommended, the monitor you are using may not show the
instrument's display contents as expected (e.g., the dis-
play contents may not fit on the screen, the characters
may not be completely clear, or the colors may be incor-
rect).
Microphone/Vocal harmony
The microphone input signal cannot be recorded.
• The microphone input signal cannot be recorded to the
instrument. However, you can connect a recorder to the
output terminals [AUX OUT, AUX OUT (LEVEL FIXED),
OPTICAL OUT] and record the microphone signal.
Harmony can be heard in addition to the microphone
sound.
• Vocal Harmony is set to "ON." Turn Vocal Harmony off
(page 54).
The Vocal Harmony effect sounds distorted or out-of-
tune.
Your vocal microphone may be picking up extraneous
sounds, such as the Style sound from the instrument. In
particular, bass sounds can cause mistracking of the Vocal
Harmony. To remedy this:
• Sing as closely to the microphone as possible.
• Use a directional microphone.
• Turn down the Master volume, Style volume, or Song
volume control (page 39).
• Separate the microphone from the external speakers as
much as possible.
• Cut the Low band via the 3 Band EQ function in the
MICROPHONE SETTING display (page 165).
• Raise the microphone input level (TH) via the Com-
pressor function in the MICROPHONE SETTING dis-
play (page 166).
Appropriate harmony notes are not produced by the
Vocal Harmony feature.
• Make sure you are using the appropriate method to
specify the harmony notes for the current Vocal Har-
mony mode (page 167).
