YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP- 430 (01) PDF Document

Always follow these basic precautions to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire, or other hazards.

Power Supply/Power Cord

• 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.

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

• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on 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.

• 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.

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

Do Not Open

• This instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble or modify the internal components in any way. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

Water Warning

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, place on it any containers (such as vases, bottles or glasses) containing liquids which might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

Fire Warning

• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.

If one of the following problems occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the electric plug from the outlet. Then have the device inspected by Yamaha service personnel.

• The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.

• It emits unusual smells or smoke.

• Some object has been dropped into the instrument.

• There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument.

Handling and Maintenance

• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices to prevent noise.

• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent panel disfiguration or damage to internal components. The verified operating temperature range is 5° – 40°C (41° – 104°F).

• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, as this might discolor the panel or keyboard.

• During extreme changes in temperature or humidity, condensation may occur. If water collects on the surface, wipe it off immediately with a soft cloth to prevent damage to wooden parts.

Location and Setup

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

• When transporting or moving the instrument, always use two or more people.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If trouble occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug.

Handling Caution

• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instrument. Be careful that the key cover does not pinch your finger.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the key cover, 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.

• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, as this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

To open the key cover:

1. Hold the front edge of the key cover top with both hands, then open the key cover slowly.

2. Close the edge of the key cover. (Fold it down so that it is flat with the cover.)

You can also open the key cover so that only the keyboard appears. This hides the panel controls. Lift the cover slightly, then push and slide it to the end completely so that both panel buttons and keyboard are visible.

To close the key cover:

1. If the music rest is unfolded, fold it back.

2. Unfold the edge of the key cover.

3. Hold the key cover with both hands and close it slowly.

CAUTION: Hold the cover with both hands when opening or closing. Do not release it until fully opened or closed to avoid catching fingers. Do not place objects on the key cover as they may fall inside the unit.

To raise the music rest:

1. Pull the music rest up and toward yourself as far as it will go.

2. Flip down the two metal supports at the left and right on the rear of the music rest.

3. Lower the music rest so that it rests on the metal supports.

To lower the music rest:

1. Pull the music rest toward yourself as far as it will go.

2. Raise the two metal supports at the rear of the music rest.

3. Gently lower the music rest backward until it is all the way down.

Music Braces:

The music braces are for holding the pages of music books in place. Simply flip them out to use them and fold them back when not needed.

1. Connect the power cord. First, insert the plug of the power cable into the AC connector on the Clavinova. Then, plug the other end of the cable into a proper AC outlet on the wall. Make sure your instrument is rated for the AC voltage in your area.

2. Turn the power on. Press the [Power] switch located on the right of the keyboard. The display in the center of the panel and the power indicator below the left end of the keyboard will light up.

When you are ready to turn off the power, press the power switch again. The display and power indicator will turn off.

Note: Even when the instrument is turned off, electricity is still flowing at a minimum level. When not using the instrument for a long time, unplug the AC power plug from the wall outlet.

To adjust the overall volume, use the [MASTER VOLUME] slider located at the left of the panel. Play the keyboard while you adjust the slider to hear the change in volume. Moving the slider to the right increases the volume, and moving it to the left decreases it.

The instrument also features I.A. Control (Intelligent Acoustic Control), which automatically adjusts the sound quality according to the overall volume. Even at low volumes, it permits both low and high sounds to be heard clearly. Press the [I. A. CONTROL] button to turn this function on or off. The lamp will light when it is on.

Using Headphones:

Connect a pair of standard stereo headphones to one of the two [PHONES] jacks provided. If you are using only one pair, you can plug it into either jack. The instrument also includes a headphone hanger that can be installed with two included screws.

Switching Speakers On/Off:

The [SPEAKER] switch turns the internal speakers on or off according to the following settings:

• NORMAL: The speakers produce sound as long as headphones are not connected.

• ON: The speakers always produce sound.

• OFF: The speakers produce no sound.

The YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP-430 has three pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to an acoustic piano.

• Damper (Right) Pedal: When this pedal is pressed, the sound is sustained, even when the keys are released. When used with one of the Grand Piano Voices, a special resonance effect is added. This instrument also has a Half-pedal function, which allows for delicate control over the damper muting by pressing the pedal partially down.

• Sostenuto (Center) Pedal: If you play a note or chord and then press the sostenuto pedal while holding the note(s), those notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. Any subsequent notes played will not sustain.

• Soft (Left) Pedal: The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is pressed. It does not affect notes that are already playing.

The center and left pedals can also be assigned to the song start/pause function in the Function mode.

You can select four different types of keyboard touch sensitivity by pressing the [TOUCH] button to match your playing style.

• HARD: Requires that the keys be played quite hard to produce maximum loudness.

• MEDIUM: Produces a fairly “standard” keyboard response. (Default setting)

• SOFT: Allows maximum loudness to be produced with relatively light key pressure.

• FIXED: All notes are produced at the same volume no matter how hard the keyboard is played. (No indicators are lit.)

To change the volume when FIXED is selected, hold down the [TOUCH] button and use the [-/NO] [+/YES] buttons. The volume range is from 1 to 127. The default setting (64) can be recalled by pressing the [-/NO] and [+/YES] buttons together while holding down the [TOUCH] button.

1. Start the metronome: Press the [METRONOME] button to turn it on. The beat indicator in the display will flash at the current tempo.

2. Adjust the tempo: Press the [TEMPO/FUNCTION] button (the indicator lights), then use the [TEMPO/FUNCTION ▼▲] buttons to set the tempo from 5 to 500 beats per minute. The default setting (120) can be recalled by pressing both the [▼] and [▲] buttons simultaneously.

3. Adjust the time signature: Hold down the [METRONOME] button and use the [-/NO]/[+/YES] buttons to set the beat from 0 to 15. The first beat is accented with a bell sound. When set to “0”, clicks sound on all beats. The default setting (0) can be recalled by pressing the [-/NO] and [+/YES] buttons together while holding down the [METRONOME] button.

4. Stop the metronome: Press the [METRONOME] button again to turn it off.

Instrument and Bench Maintenance

• When cleaning, use a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
