Getting Started - Playing The Clavinova As A Piano; Turning The Power On Or Off - Yamaha CLP- 585 Owner's Manual

Getting Started — Playing the Clavinova as a
Piano
With the full set of pedals and expressive keyboard, this instrument can be played just like a real acoustic
piano. This section shows you how to simply set up the instrument and play it. We've also included for your
piano-playing pleasure "50 Greats for the Piano" (Music Book) to help you master the instrument.

Turning the Power On or Off

1.
Connect the power cable.
First insert the plug of the power cable into the AC connector on this
instrument, then plug the other end of the cable into the proper AC outlet on
the wall. In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin
configuration of the AC wall outlets in your area.
For more information on connecting the power cord, refer to the assembly
instructions on pages 109, 113, 115 or 119.

WARNING
• Make sure your instrument is
rated for the AC voltage
supplied in the area in which
it is to be used (voltage rating
appears 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 AC IN. Make
sure that the voltage selector
is set for the voltage in your
area. Connecting the unit to
the wrong AC supply can
cause serious damage to the
internal circuitry and may
even pose a shock hazard!
• Use only the AC power cord
supplied with your instrument.
If the supplied cord is lost or
damaged and needs to be
replaced, contact your
Yamaha dealer. The use of an
inappropriate replacement
can pose a fire and shock
hazard!
• The type of AC power cord
provided with your instrument
may be different depending
on the country in which it is
purchased. (In some areas a
plug adaptor may be provided
to match the pin configuration
of the AC wall outlets in your
area.) Do NOT modify the
plug provided with your
instrument. If the plug does
not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
CAUTION
• Do not place objects such as
a piece of metal or paper on
top of the key cover. Small
objects placed on the key
cover may fall inside the unit
when the cover is opened and
may be nearly impossible to
remove. This could cause
electric shock, short circuit,
fire or other serious damage
to the instrument.
• Hold the cover with both
hands when opening or
closing it. Do not release it
until it is fully opened or
closed. Be careful to avoid
catching fingers (yours or
others, especially children's)
between the cover and the
unit.
