PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual 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:

•

Only use the voltage speciﬁed as correct for the instrument. The

required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

•

Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust

which may have accumulated on it.

•

Use only the supplied power cord/plug.

•

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.

•

Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the inter-

nal 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 liq-

uids which might spill into any openings.

•

Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

•

Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.

A burning item may fall over and cause a ﬁre.

•

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 quali-

ﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

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:

•

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 connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a mul-

tiple-connector.

Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause

overheating in the outlet.

•

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 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 disﬁgu-

ration or damage to the internal components.

•

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.

•

Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it

might accidentally fall over.

•

Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

•

Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/

one-inch from the wall), since this can cause inadequate air cir-

culation, and possibly result in the instrument overheating.

•

Before connecting the instrument to other electronic compo-

nents, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the

power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to mini-

mum. 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.

•

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.

•

Take care that the key cover does not pinch your ﬁngers, and do

not insert a ﬁnger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instru-

ment.

•

Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the

gaps on the key cover, panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn

off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the

AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualiﬁed

Yamaha service personnel.

•

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 instru-

ment, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or

connectors.

•

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 physician.

•

Do not place the bench in an unstable position where it might

accidentally fall over.

•

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 acci-

dent 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 and backing up your data

•

Current memory data (see page 40) is lost when you turn off the

power to the instrument. Save the data to a ﬂoppy disk/the User

Drive (see page 40).

Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect opera-

tion. Save important data to a ﬂoppy disk.

Backing up the ﬂoppy disk

•

To protect against data loss through media damage, we recom-

mend that you save your important data onto two ﬂoppy disks.

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.

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

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 data

is not being written to the ﬂoppy disk.

If data is currently being written to the ﬂoppy disk in

the following operations, the messages “Now

executing,” “Now copying,” and “Now formatting”

appears in the display.

• Moving, copying, pasting, saving, or deleting data

(page 43 - 45).

• Naming ﬁles and folders (page 42); creating a new

folder (page 45).

• Copying a disk to an another disk (page 142);

formatting the disk (page 142).

CVP-205/203

• Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off

when the data is being written to the ﬂoppy disk.

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, carefully 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 position 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.

• 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-

available dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the

head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer

about the availability 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.

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 liquids.

• 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 damaged. To make a backup disk use the Disk to

Disk function on page 142.

About the Display Messages

A message (information or conﬁrmation dialog) sometimes appears on the screen to

facilitate operation.

When such messages appear, simply follow the instructions as shown by pressing the

corresponding button.

Maintenance

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

CAUTION

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.

CAUTION

Before using the Clavinova, be sure to read “Precautions” on pages 3 - 4.

■

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 belongings. You can move the unit as

it is (assembled) or you can disassemble the unit down to the condition it was in when you ﬁrst took it out of the box.

Transport the keyboard horizontally. Do not lean it up against a wall or stand it up on its side.

Do not subject the instrument to excessive vibration or shock.

“The Clavinova-Computer Connection”

is a supplementary guidebook that describes, for beginners, what you can

do with your Clavinova and a personal computer and how to set up a Clavinova-Computer system (the manual is

not written for any speciﬁc models). The document is available as a PDF ﬁle (in English) at the following Internet

address:

The Panel Logos

The logos printed on the Clavinova panel indicate standards/

formats it supports and special features it includes.

GM System Level 1

“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which

guarantees that any data conforming to the standard will play

accurately on any GM-compatible tone generator or synthesizer

from any manufacturer.

XG Format

XG is a new Yamaha MIDI speciﬁcation which signiﬁcantly

expands and improves on the “GM System Level 1” standard with

greater voice handling capacity, expressive control, and effect

capability while retaining full compatibility with GM. By using the

Clavinova’s XG voices, it is possible to record XG-compatible

song ﬁles.

XF Format

The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File)

standard with greater functionality and open-ended expandability

for the future. The Clavinova is capable of displaying lyrics when

an XF ﬁle containing lyric data is played. (SMF is the most

common format used for MIDI sequence ﬁles. The Clavinova is

compatible with SMF Formats 0 and 1, and records “song” data

using SMF Format 0.)

Disk Orchestra Collection

The DOC voice allocation format provides data playback

compatibility with a wide range of Yamaha instruments and MIDI

devices.

Style File Format

The Style File Format (SFF) is Yamaha’s original style ﬁle format,

which uses a unique conversion system to provide high-quality

automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types.

The Clavinova uses the SFF internally, reads optional SFF style

disks, and creates SFF styles using the Style Creator feature.
