To avoid malfunction or damage to the YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP-765GP:

• Do not connect this product to public Wi-Fi and/or the Internet directly. Only connect this product to the Internet through a router with strong password-protections. Consult your router manufacturer for information on security best practices.

• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise. When you use the instrument along with an application on your smart device such as a smartphone or tablet, set Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to on after setting “Airplane Mode” to on on that device in order to avoid noise caused by communication.

• 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 the possibility of panel disfiguration, damage to the internal components or unstable operation. (Verified operating temperature range: 5° – 40°C, or 41° – 104°F.)

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

• In the case of a model with a polished finish, bumping the surface of the instrument with metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can cause the finish to crack or peel. Use caution.

You can connect the headphone jack of an audio player, such as a smartphone or portable audio player, to the instrument’s [AUX IN] jack. Audio playback on the connected device is output from the built-in speakers of this instrument.

The AUX OUT [R] [L/L+R] jacks let you connect the YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP-765GP to external powered speaker systems for playing in larger venues at higher volumes. The YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP-765GP’s [MASTER VOLUME] setting will affect the sound that is output from AUX OUT jacks.

When the YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CLP-765GP’s AUX OUT jacks are connected to an external speaker and you want to turn off the speaker sound of the YAMAVA CLAVINOVA CLP-765GP, switch the “speaker” parameter to off via the “System” menu: “Utility”  “Speaker.”

When connecting a USB device to the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal, be sure to handle the USB device with care. Follow the important precautions below:

Compatible USB devices:

• USB flash drive

• USB hub

• USB wireless LAN adaptor UD-WL01 (sold separately; may not be available in some areas)

Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or mouse cannot be used. The instrument does not necessarily support all commercially available USB devices. USB 1.1 devices cannot be used on this instrument.

Connecting a USB device:

• When connecting a USB device to the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal, make sure that the connector on the device is appropriate and that it is connected in the proper direction.

• Avoid connecting or disconnecting the USB device during playback/recording and file management operations (such as Save, Copy, Delete and Format), or when accessing the USB device. Failure to observe this may result in “freezing” of the operation of the instrument or corruption of the USB device and the data.

• When connecting then disconnecting the USB device (and vice versa), make sure to wait a few seconds between the two operations.

Using USB Flash Drives:

• Only one USB flash drive can be connected to the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal.

• You should format the USB flash drive only with this instrument. A USB flash drive formatted on another device may not operate properly.

• To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased, apply the write-protect provided with each USB flash drive. If you are saving data to the USB flash drive, make sure to disable write-protect.

• When turning off the instrument, make sure that the instrument is NOT accessing the USB flash drive by playback/recording or file management. Failure to do so may corrupt the USB flash drive and the data.

Use the MIDI terminals and standard MIDI cables to connect external MIDI devices (keyboard, sequencer, etc.).

• MIDI [IN]: Receives MIDI messages from another MIDI device.

• MIDI [OUT]: Transmits MIDI messages generated on this instrument to another MIDI device.

• MIDI [THRU]: Simply relays the MIDI messages received at MIDI IN.

By connecting a computer to the USB [TO HOST] terminal via a USB cable, you can transfer MIDI data or Audio data between the instrument and the computer.

By connecting a computer or a smart device to the USB [TO HOST] terminal via a USB cable, digital audio data can be transmitted/received. This USB Audio Interface function provides the following advantages:

• Playing back audio data with high sound quality: This gives you direct, clear sound in which the sound quality has less noise and deterioration than that from the [AUX IN] jack.

• Recording performance on the instrument as audio data by using a recording software or a music production software: The recorded audio data can be played back on the computer or smart device.

This allows you to set whether audio sound input from the connected computer or smart device is output to a computer or a smart device or not along with the performance played on the instrument. To output the audio input sound, set the Audio Loopback to “On.”

For example, if you want to record the audio input sound as well as the sound played on the instrument by using the computer or the smart device, set this to “On.” If you intend to record only the sound played on the instrument by using the computer or the smart device, set this to “Off.”

You can input the sound of the audio data saved in a Bluetooth-equipped device, such as a smart phone or digital audio player, to this instrument and listen to it through the built-in speaker of the instrument.

Follow these steps:

Step 1. Hold down the [FUNCTION] button for 3 seconds. The pop-up window will appear which indicates that the instrument is standing by for pairing. To cancel the pairing, press the [EXIT] button.

Step 2. On the smart device, set the Bluetooth function to on and select “CLP-xxx AUDIO” from the connection list. After pairing is completed, the connection status will be shown in the display.

Step 3. Play back audio data on the smart device to confirm that the built-in speakers of the instrument can output the audio sound. When you turn on the instrument the next time, the last-connected smart device will be connected to this instrument automatically, if the Bluetooth function of the smart device and the instrument is set to on. If it is not connected automatically, select the model name of the instrument from the connection list on the smart device.

By default, the Bluetooth function will be on right after turning the instrument’s power on, however you can set the function to off.

Follow these steps:

Step 1. Press the [FUNCTION] button repeatedly to call up the “System” menu display, then select the highlighted item in each display as illustrated below:

Step 1-1. Confirm that “Bluetooth” is selected.

Step 1-2. Press the right [>] button to call up the next display.

Step 1-3. Confirm that “Bluetooth” is selected.

Step 2. Press the right [>] button to switch on/off. To exit from the “System” menu display, press the [EXIT] button.

Follow these steps for common operations in the menu displays:

Step 1. Press the [FUNCTION] button several times to select the desired menu. Pressing the [FUNCTION] button repeatedly will call up the following menu displays in order, according to the vertical menu at the left of the display: Voice menu, Song menu, Metronome/Rhythm menu, Recording menu, System menu.

Step 2. Use the up or down [u]/[d] buttons to navigate through the display vertically and use the left or right [<]/[>] buttons to navigate through display horizontally to select the desired parameter.

Step 3. In the display called up in step 2, use the up or down [u]/[d] or left or right [<]/[>] buttons to select a value or execute the operation. Most displays allow you to select a value by simply using the up or down [u]/[d] buttons, although some, such as Edit in the “Song” menu and Backup in the “System” menu, let you execute an operation. If a pop-up window is shown, set the value with the left or right [<]/[>] buttons, then exit from the window using the [EXIT] button. Also, when the selected parameter provides only two options (on and off, for example), simply pressing the right [>] button will alternate the value between the two options.

Step 4. To exit from the menu display, press the [EXIT] button.

To call up the desired parameter:

Turn on Dual, Split or Duo as necessary, select Voices as necessary, press the [FUNCTION] button several times to select “Voice” menu, then use the up or down [u]/[d] or left or right [<]/[>] buttons to select the desired parameter.
