IMPORTANT



Check Your Power Supply



Make sure that your local AC mains vol-

tage 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 selec-

tor 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” screw-

driver to rotate the selector dial so that

the correct voltage appears next to the

pointer on the panel.



WICHTIG



Überprüfung der Stromversorgung



Vergewissern Sie sich vor dem Ansch-

ließen an das Stromnetz, daß die ör-

tliche Netzspannung den Betriebsspan-

nungswerten auf dem Typenschild an

der Unterseite des Instruments ents-

pricht. In bestimmten Verkaufsgebieten

ist das Instrument mit einem Span-

nungswähler an der Unterseite neben

der Netzkabeldurchführung ausgestat-

tet. Falls vorhanden, muß der Span-

nungswähler auf die örtliche Netzspan-

nung eingestellt werden. Der Span-

nungswähler wurde werkseitig auf 240

V voreingestellt. Zum Verstellen drehen

Sie den Spannungsregler mit einem

Schlitzschraubendreher, bis der Zeiger

auf den korrekten Spannungswert weist.



IMPORTANTE

Verifique la alimentación de corriente



Asegúrese de que tensión de alimenta-

ción de CA de su área corresponde con

la tensión especificada en la placa de

características del panel inferior de la

unidad del teclado principal, cerca del

cable de alimentación. Asegúrese de

que el selector de tensión esté ajustado

a la tensión de su área. El selector de

tensión se ajusta a 240V cuando la uni-

dad sale de fábrica. Para cambiar el

ajuste, emplee un destornillador de ca-

beza “recta” para girar el selector de

modo que aparezca la tensión correcta

al lado del indicador del panel.



IMPORTANT

Contrôler la source d’alimentation



Vérifiez que la tension spécifiée sur le

panneau arrière correspond à la tension

du secteur. Dans certaines régions, l’in-

strument peut être équipé d’un sélec-

teur de tension situé sur le panneau in-

férieur du clavier à proximité du cordon

d’alimentation. Vérifiez que ce sélec-

teur est bien réglé en fonction de la ten-

sion secteur de votre région. Le sélec-

teur de tension est réglé sur 240 V au

départ d’usine. Pour modifier ce ré-

glage, utilisez un tournevis à lame plate

pour tourner le sélecteur afin de mettre

l’indication correspondant à la tension

de votre région vis à vis du repère trian-

gulaire situé sur le panneau.

beyond repair, or for some reason its useful life is consid-

ered to be at an end, please observe all local, state, and

federal regulations that relate to the disposal of products

that contain lead, batteries, plastics, etc.

the right to change or modify any of the specifications

without notice or obligation to update existing units.

SPECIAL MESSAGE SECTION

Model _____________________________________

Serial No. __________________________________

Purchase Date ______________________________

• 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 instru-

ment 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 possi-

bly result in the instrument overheating.

• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly pro-

cess. 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 un-

comfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If

you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physi-

cian.

■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.

• Do not attempt to adjust the bench height while sitting on the bench,

since this can cause excessive force to be imposed on the adjustment

mechanism, possibly resulting in damage to the mechanism or even in-

jury.

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

them periodically using the included tool.

■SAVING USER DATA

• Save all data to an external device such as the Yamaha DOU-10 Disk

Orchestra Unit 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 modi-

fications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

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

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 immedi-

ately 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 instru-

ment 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.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which

may have accumulated on it.

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 radia-

tors, 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 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.

• 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 or damage to the

internal components.

• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televi-

sions, 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 acci-

dentally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint

thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

Also, do not place vinyl or plastic objects on the instrument, since this

might discolor the panel or keyboard.

• Gently remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth. Do not wipe too hard since

small particles of dirt can scratch the instrument’s finish.

• Bumping the surface of the instrument with metal, porcelain, or other hard

objects can cause the finish to crack or peel. Use caution.

• 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.

Preparation

If you will be using sheet music with your

Clavinova, raise the music stand built into its top

panel by lifting the rear edge of the music stand,

then flip down the music stand braces and engage

them with the corresponding recesses.

The music stand can be lowered after slightly

lifting it and folding the two brackets which sup-

port it against the back of the stand.

To open the CLP-555 key cover lift it just

enough to clear the keys (do not lift excessively)

then slide the cover back into the main unit. To

close the cover slide it forward all the way and then

lower it gently until it closes completely.

The Music Stand.............................................................................................................................................................................

The Key Cover...................................................................................................................................................................................

Opening and Closing the Lid...........................................................................................................................................

• Hold the cover with both hands when moving it, and

do not release it until it is fully opened or closed. Be

careful to avoid catching fingers (yours or others)

between the cover and main unit.

• Do not place objects on top of the key cover. Small

objects placed on the key cover may fall inside the

main unit when the cover is opened.

Z Raise the music stand as described in “The

Music Stand”, above.

X Raise and hold the right side of the lid (viewed

from the keyboard end of the instrument).

C Raise the lid stay and carefully lower the lid so

that the end of the stay fits into the recess in

the lid.

• Make sure that the end of the stay fits securely in

the lid recess. If the stay is not properly seated in

the recess the lid may fall causing damage or injury.

• Be careful that you or others do not bump the stay

while the lid is raised. The stay may be bumped out

of the lid recess causing the lid to fall.

• Be careful not to catch your fingers when raising or

lowering the lid.

Be careful of fingers when opening or closing.

Connections

1 AUX IN L/L+R and R Jacks

These jacks are intended for use with an external tone generator mod-

ule such as the Yamaha DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit. The stereo outputs

from the external tone generator module are connected to the AUX IN L/

L+R and R jacks, allowing the sound of the tone generator to be repro-

duced via the Clavinova’s internal sound system and speakers. A line-level

mono source can be connected to the L/L+R jack.

• The input signal from the AUX IN jacks is delivered to the AUX OUT jacks,

but is not affected by the Clavinova’s volume control or reverb effect.

2 AUX OUT L/L+R and R Jacks

The AUX OUT L/L+R and R jacks deliver the output of the Clavinova for

connection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA system, or record-

ing equipment. If you will be connecting the Clavinova to a monaural sound

system, use only the L/L+R jack. When a plug is inserted into the L/L+R jack

only, the left- and right-channel signals are combined and delivered via the L/

L+R jack so you don’t lose any of the Clavinova’s sound.

• The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either

directly or through external equipment.

3 MIDI IN, THRU and OUT Connectors

The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI

device (such as the DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit) which can be used to

control the Clavinova. The MIDI THRU connector re-transmits any data

received at the MIDI IN connector, allowing “chaining” of several MIDI

instruments or other devices. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI

data generated by the Clavinova (e.g. note and velocity data produced by

playing the Clavinova keyboard).

More details on MIDI are given in “MIDI FUNCTIONS” on page 28.

4 TO HOST Connector & HOST SELECT Switch

This jack and selector switch allow direct connection to a personal

computer for sequencing and other music applications — without the need

for a separate MIDI interface. See page 32 for details.

● PHONES Jacks

(Bottom Panel)

Two pairs of standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here

for private practice or late-night playing. The internal speaker system is

automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into either of

the PHONES jacks.

default depth settings are different for each voice).

The Pedals

Soft (Left) Pedal...............................................................................................

The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of

notes played while the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect

notes which are already playing when it is pressed.

The left pedal can also be assigned to song start/stop operation via

the “Left Pedal Mode” described on page 27.

The CLP-555 has three foot pedals that produce a range of expressive ef-

fects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.

Damper (Right) Pedal ................................................................................

The damper pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on

Touch Sensitivity

Four different types of keyboard touch sensitivity — HARD, MEDIUM, SOFT

or FIXED — can be selected to match different playing styles and preferences.

To select a touch sensitivity type press the [TOUCH] button a few

times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type lights (the

indicators light in sequence each time the [TOUCH] button is pressed).

HARD

The HARD setting requires the keys to be played quite hard to

produce maximum loudness.

MEDIUM

The MEDIUM setting produces a fairly “standard” keyboard response.

This is the initial factory default setting.

SOFT

The SOFT setting 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. This is an ideal setting for voices which normally

have no keyboard sensitivity (i.e. harpsichord and organ).

The volume of notes played in the FIXED mode can be set by using

the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons while the [TOUCH] button is held (the

current volume level appears on the display). The volume range is

from 1 through 127. The default setting is 64.

Transposition

Use the [–/NO] or [+/YES] button while holding the [TRANS-

POSE] button to transpose down or up as required. The transposition

range is from “–12” (down one octave) through “0” (normal pitch) to

“12” (up one octave). The amount of transposition appears on the LED

display while the [TRANSPOSE] button is held. The default transpose

setting is “0”.

• The [TRANSPOSE] button indicator remains lit when a transpose setting

other than “0” is selected.

• Notes below and above the A-1 … C7 range of the Clavinova sound one

octave higher and lower, respectively.

The Clavinova’s TRANSPOSE function makes it possible to shift the pitch of

the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of 12

semitones (i.e. a maximum of one octave up or down). “Transposing” the pitch of

the Clavinova keyboard facilitates playing in difficult key signatures, and you can

easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instru-

mentalist.

The Metronome & Tempo Control

The CLP-555 built-in metronome is a convenient feature for practice, and it

can also provide a solid rhythmic guide when recording using the Recorder

feature, described below.

The Metronome

The metronome sound is alternately turned on and off by pressing

the [METRONOME] button. When on, the beat indicator flashes at the

current tempo.

Metronome Volume ......................................................................................

The volume of the metronome sound can be adjusted by using the

[–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons while holding the [METRONOME]

button. The volume range is from 1 through 20 (the current volume

setting appears on the LED display while the [METRONOME] button

is held). A setting of “1” produces minimum sound, while a setting of

“20” produces maximum metronome volume. Press the [–/NO] and [+/

YES] buttons simultaneously while holding the [METRONOME]

button to recall the default setting: “10”.

Other Metronome Functions .............................................................

The time signature (“beat”) of the metronome can be changed via

the metronome “Beat” function in the Function mode — page 27. The

Function mode also has an alternative method for adjusting the metro-

nome volume — page 27.

Tempo Control

The tempo of the metronome and recorder playback (the recorder is

described in the next section) can be set from 32 to 280 beats per

minute by using the [TEMPO/SONG t/s] buttons. The [t] button

decreases the tempo and the [s] button increases the tempo. The

selected tempo appears on the LED display in the normal play mode

and while the [TEMPO/SONG t/s] buttons are being used to adjust

the tempo. The default tempo (120 or the recorded song tempo when

the recorder contains data and the playback track lamp is lit) can be

recalled by simultaneously pressing the [t] and [s] buttons.
