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.

SPECIAL MESSAGE SECTION
Model _____________________________________
Serial No. __________________________________
Purchase Date ______________________________
1
• 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.

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.

In terms of “Hertz”, the overall tuning range is from 427.0 Hz to 453.0
Hz. The current tuning setting is shown on the LED display while the tuning
is being adjusted. Tenths of a Hertz are indicated on the LED display by the
appearance and position of one or two dots, as in the following example:
• An alternative tuning method is available in the Function mode — page 23.
• The keyboard method of pitch control, described above, has no effect when
LOCAL OFF is active (see “MIDI FUNCTIONS,” page 28).

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.
