IMPORTANT
—Check your power supply—
Make sure that your local AC
mains voltage 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 selector 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" screwdriver to rotate the
selector dial so that the correct
voltage appears next to the
pointer on the panel.
For information on assembling
the keyboard stand, refer to the
instructions at the end of this
manual.
WICHTIG
—Überprüfen Sie Ihren
Netzanschluss—
Vergewissern Sie sich, dass die
Spannung in Ihrem örtlichen
Stromnetz mit der Spannung
übereinstimmt, die auf dem
Typenschild auf der Unterseite
des Instruments angegeben ist. In
bestimmten Regionen ist auf der
Unterseite des Keyboards in der
Nähe des Netzkabels ein
Spannungswähler angebracht.
Vergewissern Sie sich, dass der
Spannungswähler auf die
Spannung Ihres lokalen
Stromnetzes eingestellt ist. Dieser
Spannungswähler ist bei
Auslieferung auf 240 V
eingestellt. Sie können die
Einstellung mit einem
Schlitzschraubenzieher ändern.
Drehen Sie dazu den
Wählschalter, bis der Pfeil auf
dem Instrument auf die richtige
Spannung zeigt.
Weitere Informationen über die
Montage des Keyboard-Ständers
erhalten Sie in den Anweisungen
am Ende dieses Handbuchs.
IMPORTANT
—Contrôler la source
d'alimentation—
Vérifiez que la tension spécifiée
sur le panneau inférieur
correspond à la tension du
secteur. Dans certaines régions,
l'instrument peut être équipé d'un
sélecteur de tension situé sur le
panneau inférieur du clavier à
proximité du cordon
d'alimentation.
Vérifiez que ce sélecteur est bien
réglé en fonction de la tension
secteur de votre région. Le
sélecteur de tension est réglé sur
240 V au départ d'usine. Pour
modifier ce réglage, 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 triangulaire situé sur le
panneau.
Pour obtenir des informations sur
l'assemblage du support du
clavier, reportez-vous aux
instructions à la fin de ce manuel.
IMPORTANTE
—Verifique la alimentación de
corriente—
Asegúrese de que tensión de
alimentación de CA de su área
corresponde con la tensión
especificada en la placa de
características del panel inferior.
En algunas zonas puede haberse
incorporado un selector de
tensión en el 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
unidad sale de fábrica. Para
cambiar el ajuste, emplee un
destornillador de cabeza "recta"
para girar el selector de modo
que aparezca la tensión correcta
al lado del indicador del panel.

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 internal 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 liquids 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 qualified 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 multiple-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 disfiguration 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.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is
easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off
the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power
switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum
level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug
the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

• 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. 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.
• In the case of a model with a polished finish, 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.
• 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 instrument.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones 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 accident 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
• The panel settings and certain other types of data will be lost if the power is
turned off before they have been saved. Be sure to save (back up) data you want
to keep to the internal Flash Memory before turning off the power (page 55).
Keep in mind that this data is for temporary backup purposes and may be
inadvertently lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Make sure to save
all your important data to computer for permanent safekeeping (page 62).
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Panel Controls and Terminals
The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-240/230 digital piano provides natural, expressive grand piano sound and playability, and
features Yamaha’s original “AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling (CLP-240)/AWM Stereo Sampling (CLP-230)” tone-genera-
tion technology for rich, musical voices.
The CLP-240/230 Grand Piano 1 and 2 voices feature samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert grand piano.
The CLP-240 Grand Piano 1 voice features three velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), special “Sustain Sam-
pling” (page 51) that samples the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings when the
damper pedal is pressed, and “Keyoff Samples” that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released.
The CLP-240/230 also utilizes a “GH3 (Graded Hammer 3)” Keyboard that varies the key weight according to the key
range. Moreover, this specially crafted keyboard lets you use techniques only possible on grand pianos, such as playing the
same note successively and having the sounds blend smoothly even without use of the damper pedal, or playing the same
key quickly and having perfect articulation without the sound cutting off unnaturally. With these features, the CLP-240/
230 comes much closer to the sound of a true acoustic piano.

Tur ning the Power On
1.Connect the power cord.
Insert the plugs at the ends of the cord, one into the AC INLET on the Clavinova, and the other into a standard AC
outlet.
In some areas, a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin configuration of the AC wall outlets in your area.
CAUTION
Make sure your CLP-240/230 is rated for the AC voltage supplied in the area in which it is to be used (voltage rating appears
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 selector is set for the voltage in your area. Connecting the unit
to the wrong AC supply can cause serious damage to the internal circuitry and may even pose a shock hazard!
Use only the AC power cord supplied with the CLP-240/230. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and needs to be
replaced, contact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a fire and shock hazard!
The type of AC power cord provided with the CLP-240/230 may be different depending on the country in which it is pur-
chased. (In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin configuration of the AC wall outlets in your area.)
Do NOT modify the plug provided with the CLP-240/230. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.

Procedure
NOTE
To learn characteristics of the
voices, listen to demo songs for
each voice (page 14). Refer to
“Preset Voice List” on page 71 for
more information on the charac-
teristics of each preset voice.
TERMINOLOGY
Voice:
On the Clavinova, a voice means
a “tone” or “tonal color.”
NOTE
You can control the loudness of a
voice by adjusting the force with
which you strike the keys,
although different playing styles
(touch sensitivities) have little or
no effect with certain musical
instruments.
Refer to “Preset Voice List” on
page 71.

Using the Pedals
The Clavinova has three foot pedals that produce a range
of expressive effects 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 an acoustic piano. When the damper
pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer. Releasing the pedal
immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.
When you select the GRAND PIANO 1 voice on the CLP-
240, pressing the damper pedal activates the instrument’s
special “Sustain Samples” to accurately recreate the
unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s sound-
board and strings. A “half-pedal” effect lets you use the
damper pedal to create partial sustain effects, depending
on how far down you press the pedal.
Sostenuto (Center) Pedal
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the
sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes
will sustain as long as you hold the pedal (as if the
damper pedal had been pressed) but all subsequently
played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible
to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are
played “staccato.”
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 that are already playing when it
is pressed.
NOTE
If the damper pedal doesn’t work,
make sure that the pedal cord is
properly plugged into the main
unit (page 67).
NOTE
The depth of the effect produced
by the “Sustain Samples” can be
adjusted via the “Pedal Func-
tions” (page 51) in Function
mode.
NOTE
When the DDE effect is on, you
can hear a simulation of the sus-
tain sound of the damper pedal
on a grand piano, as you press
the damper pedal and play the
keyboard (page 22).
When you press the damper
pedal here, the notes you
play before you release the
pedal have a longer sustain.
NOTE
Organ, string and choir voices will
continue to sound for as long as
the sostenuto pedal is depressed.
When you press the sostenu-
to pedal here while holding
the note, the note will sustain
as long as you hold the pedal.
NOTE
The left pedal can be assigned to
song play/pause operation or
variation function (CLP-240) via
the “Left Pedal Mode” described
on page 51.
