IMPORTANT

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”

screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that

the correct voltage appears next to the pointer

on the panel.

PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even

death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, ﬁre or other hazards. These precautions

include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The

instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use

immediately and have it inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on

it containing liquids which might spill into any openings.

• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of

the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the

power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualiﬁed

Yamaha service personnel.

• Only use the voltage speciﬁed as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name

plate of the instrument.

• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an

electric plug with wet hands.

PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or

others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited

to, the following:

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend

or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk

on, trip over, or roll anything over it.

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the

cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower

sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time,

or during electrical storms.

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components.

Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set

the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing

the instrument to set the desired listening level.

• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sun-

light, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disﬁguration or damage to

the internal components.

• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this

might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents,

cleaning ﬂuids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on

the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the

buttons, switches or connectors.

• Take care that the key cover does not pinch your ﬁngers, and do not insert a ﬁnger or hand in the key cover

gap.

• Never insert or drop paper or metallic or other objects between the slits of the key cover and the keyboard.

If this happens, immediately turn off the power and remove the electric plug from the outlet and have the

instrument inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/one-inch from the wall), since this can cause

inadequate air circulation, and possibly result in the instrument overheating.

• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process. Failure to assemble the

instrument in the proper sequence might result in damage to the instrument or even injury.

• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this

can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a phy-

sician.

PRECAUTIONS

■

USING THE BENCH (If included)

• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or step-ladder or for any other purpose

might result in accident or injury.

• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the possibility of accident or injury.

• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them periodically using the

included tool.

■

SAVING USER DATA

• Always save data to a ﬂoppy disk or an external device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3 fre-

quently, in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modiﬁcations to the instrument,

or data that is lost or destroyed.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Handling the Floppy Disk

Drive(FDD) and Floppy Disk

Precautions

Be sure to handle ﬂoppy disks and treat the disk drive with

care. Follow the important precautions below.

Compatible Disk Type

3.5" 2DD and 2HD type ﬂoppy disks can be used.

Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks

To insert a ﬂoppy disk into the disk drive:

Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and

the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards the disk slot.

Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly pushing it all the

way in until it clicks into place and the eject button pops out.

To eject a ﬂoppy disk:

Before ejecting the disk, be sure to conﬁrm that the ﬂoppy

disk drive is stopped. If the disk drive is operating (during

the [SaveToDisk] (P53), [DeleteSong] (P53), [RenameSong]

(P54), [CopyDisk] (P55), or [FormatDisk] (P56) opera-

tion), the Clavinova displays [Executing].

Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off

when the disk drive is operating. Doing so can damage the

disk and possibly the disk drive.

Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk will

automatically pop out. When the disk is fully ejected, care-

fully remove it by hand.

If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not

pressed in as far as it will go, the disk may not eject properly.

The eject button may become stuck in a half-pressed posi-

tion with the disk extending from the drive slot by only a few

millimeters. If this happens, do not attempt to pull out the

partially ejected disk, since using force in this situation can

damage the disk drive mechanism 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 and then

repeat the eject procedure.

Be sure to remove the ﬂoppy disk from the disk drive before

turning off the power. A ﬂoppy disk left in the drive for

extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that can

cause data read and write errors.

Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head

• Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument

employs a precision magnetic read/write head which,

after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of

magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventually

cause read and write errors.

• To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order

Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-avail-

able dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about

once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the avail-

ability of proper head-cleaning disks.

• Never insert anything but ﬂoppy disks into the disk drive.

Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or

ﬂoppy disks.

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive(FDD) and Floppy Disk

About the Floppy Disks

• To handle ﬂoppy disks with care:

• Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply

pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep ﬂoppy disks

in their protective cases when they are not in use.

• Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high

or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liq-

uids.

• Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed

surface of the ﬂoppy disk inside.

• Do not expose the disk to magnetic ﬁelds, such as those

produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since

magnetic ﬁelds can partially or completely erase data on

the disk, rendering it unreadable.

• Never use a ﬂoppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing.

• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to

a ﬂoppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in

the proper location.

• To protect your data (Write-protect Tab):

• To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the

disk’s write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab

open).

• Data backup

• For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that

you keep two copies of important data on separate ﬂoppy

disks. This gives you a backup if one disk is lost or dam-

aged. To make a backup disk use the Copy Disk function

on page 55.

Maintenance

Clean the instrument using a dry, soft cloth or slightly damp, soft cloth (wring well).

Do not use benzine, thinner, detergent, or chemical cloth for cleaning. Do not place vinyl, plastic, or rubber

products on the instrument.

Otherwise, the panel or keys may be discolored or degraded.

Before using the Clavinova, be sure to read “Precautions” on pages 3-5.

Tuning

Unlike an acoustic piano, the Clavinova does not need to be tuned. It always stays perfectly in tune.

Transporting

If you move to another location, you can transport the Clavinova along with other stuff. You can move the unit as it

is (assembled) or you can disassemble the unit down to the condition when you ﬁrst open the package. Transport the

keyboard horizontally. Do not lean it to the wall and the like.

Features

The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-970 digital piano offers unmatched sonic realism and natural grand-piano type playabil-

ity as well as Yamaha’s original “AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling” tone generation technology for rich, musical

voices, and a special “Graded Hammer” keyboard that provides graded key weight and response throughout the key-

board range. The CLP-970 GrandPiano1 voice features totally new samples painstakingly recorded from a full con-

cert grand piano. The CLP-970 GrandPiano1 voice features ﬁve velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), a

“Soundboard Reverb” (page 33) effect that accurately simulates the resonance of a piano soundboard, “String Reso-

nance” (page 88) that recreates resonance of piano strings, special “Sustain Sampling” (page 88)that samples the

unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings when the damper pedal is pressed, and “Key-

off Samples” that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released. The CLP-970 comes much closer to the

sound of a true acoustic piano.

Before Using the Clavinova

Turning the power on

1. Connect the power cable.

First insert the plug of the power cable into the AC connector on the Clavinova, 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.

WARNING!

Make sure your CLP-970 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 power cord. 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 the CLP-970. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and needs to be replaced, con-

tact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a ﬁre and shock hazard!

The type of AC power cord provided with the CLP-970 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 the CLP-970. If the plug will not ﬁt the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁed electrician.
