To adjust the overall volume of the YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP-745, use the [MASTER VOLUME] slider located at the right of the keyboard. Play the keyboard to actually produce sound while you adjust the volume. Adjusting the [MASTER VOLUME] slider also affects the output level of the [PHONES] jacks and the output level of the AUX OUT jacks.

Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC) on the YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP-745 automatically adjusts and controls the sound quality according to the overall volume of the instrument. Even when playing at a low overall volume, it ensures both low and high sounds are clearly heard. IAC Control is effective only from the sound output of the instrument speakers. You can set the IAC setting On or Off and its depth via the System Menu (see System Menu description for details). The default setting for this function is “On.”

To use headphones with the YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP-745, connect a pair of headphones to one of the [PHONES] jacks. When headphones are plugged into either jack, the internal speaker system is automatically shut off. Two [PHONES] jacks are provided, allowing two sets of standard stereo headphones to be plugged in. If using only one pair, you can plug them into either jack.

Do not use the headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss.

If you are using an adaptor plug, be sure to remove this as well when unplugging the headphones. No sound will come out of the instrument’s speakers if the adaptor plug is left connected.

The YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP-745 features two advanced technologies:

Binaural Sampling:

This method records sound from a piano using two special microphones placed at the ear position of a performer. When “CFX Grand” or “Bösendorfer” Voices are selected and headphones are connected, binaural sampling sound is automatically enabled, giving the impression of being immersed in the sound, as if it were emanating from the piano.

Stereophonic Optimizer:

This effect reproduces natural sound distance, similar to binaural sampling, even when listening on headphones. When any other piano Voice besides “CFX Grand” or “Bösendorfer” is selected, connecting headphones automatically enables the Stereophonic Optimizer.

This function is turned on by default. Note that when the “Speaker” setting (page 100) is On, this function will always be disabled. Since these sounds are optimized for listening with headphones, set this function to “OFF” if:

• Playing the piano sound with an external powered speaker system, while monitoring the sound output from this instrument on connected headphones.
• Making an audio recording (page 54) while using headphones, and then playing that recorded audio Song through speakers of this instrument. (Make sure to turn off these functions before audio recording.)

For details on setting this On or Off, refer to “Binaural” in the System menu (page 99).

The YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP-745 is equipped with three foot pedals:

Damper pedal (right pedal):

When you press the damper pedal, the notes you play have a longer sustain. When a Voice in the Piano group is selected, pressing the damper pedal activates the VRM (page 28) to recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings.

Half-pedal function:

This function allows half-damper techniques, where the damper is pressed somewhere between all the way down and all the way up, partially muting the strings. This allows delicate and expressive control of damper muting and subtle nuances in your performance.

Sostenuto pedal (center pedal):

If you play a note or chord and press the sostenuto pedal while holding the note(s), those notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. All subsequent notes will not sustain.

Soft pedal (left pedal):

The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is pressed. It will not affect notes already playing when pressed. To apply this effect, play notes after pressing the pedal.

This pedal function may change depending on the selected Voice. For example, with “Mellow Organ,” it switches Rotary Speaker speed between “fast” and “slow.” With “Vibraphone,” it switches Vibrato on and off.

You can assign other functions to each pedal by using “Pedal Assign” in the “Voice” menu display (page 89).
