• 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

stepladder 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 specified tool in order to prevent

the possibility of accident or injury.

• Keep special watch over any small children so that they don’t fall off

the rear of the bench. Since the bench does not have a backrest,

unsupervised use may result in accident or injury.

• When one of the following problems occur, immediately turn off the

power switch and disconnect the electric plug from the outlet. Then

have the device inspected by Yamaha service personnel.

- The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.

- It emits unusual smells or smoke.

- Some object has been dropped into the instrument.

- There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument.

- If any cracks or breakages exist on the instrument.

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 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.

• 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.

• Assemble the instrument in the proper sequence by following the

assembly instructions in this manual. Also, make sure to tighten the

screws regularly. Failure to do so might result in damage to the

instrument or even injury.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might

accidentally fall over.

• Do not go near the instrument during an earthquake. Strong shaking

during an earthquake could cause the instrument to move or tip over,

resulting in damage to the instrument or its parts, and possibly

causing injury.

• (CLP-785, CLP-775, CLP-745, CLP-735) When transporting or

moving the instrument, always use two or more people. Attempting to

lift the instrument by yourself may damage your back, result in other

injury, or cause damage to the instrument itself.

• (CLP-795GP, CLP-765GP) Since this product is very heavy, make sure

that a sufficient number of people are on hand to help, so you can lift

and move it safely and easily. Attempting to lift or move the instrument

by force may damage your back, result in other injury, or cause

damage to the instrument itself.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent

damage to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.

• 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.

• 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.

• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or

instrument. Also take care that the key cover does not pinch your

finger.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on

the key cover, panel or keyboard. This could cause physical injury to

you or others, damage to the instrument or other property, or

operational failure.

• (CLP-785) Do not apply excessive force when closing the key cover. A

key cover equipped with the SOFT-CLOSE™ mechanism closes the

cover slowly. Applying excessive force to the key cover when closing it

could damage the SOFT-CLOSE™ mechanism, and possibly result in

injury to your hands and fingers caught under the closing key cover.

• 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.

• Keep small parts out of the reach of infants. Your children may

accidentally swallow them.

• 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.

• For benches that can be adjusted, do not 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 injury.

• Do not place your hand between moving parts. Otherwise, your hand

could be pinched between the parts, possibly resulting in injury.

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

Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (power lamp

is off), electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.

When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you

unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

CLP-785, CLP-775, CLP-745, CLP-735, CLP-795GP, CLP-765GP Owner’s Manual

Full-scale piano performance

GrandTouch Keyboard and GrandTouch-S Keyboard

The CLP-700 series models feature a special keyboard, which remarkably reproduces the authentic touch and feel of an

actual grand piano. Its mechanism provides exceptionally expressive control from pianissimo to fortissimo. Moreover,

the keys of the GrandTouch Keyboard (CLP-785, CLP-775 and CLP-795GP) have a long pivot point distance (length

from the front side to the pivot point), for a more natural feeling, even when playing the inner part of a key.

Two world-renowned concert grand pianos page 26

All models feature piano sounds created with samples of the Yamaha CFX flagship concert grand piano and the famed

Vienna-made Bösendorfer grand piano. The sound of the Yamaha CFX is powerful, sparkling and with a rich bass

resonance. On the other hand, the Bösendorfer sound is soft and deep in the mid to bass range and beautiful for

pianissimo parts. You can select the one that best matches the music you want to play.

* Bösendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.

Piano Room feature for adjusting touch and resonance page 27

From the Piano Room displays, you can adjust various parameters such as string resonance and touch response. You

can also listen to the demo for VRM, which reproduces luxurious string and soundboard resonance, and the demo for

Grand Expression Modeling, which recreates the subtle changes in the sound that respond to your touch.

• VRM effect for reproducing the distinctive reverberation of a grand piano

The VRM function on all models simulates the luscious resonance effect on acoustic pianos—where the

sound of one string causes sympathetic vibration in other strings and the soundboard. You can vary the

sound expressively by changing the timing of your pressing the keys, and the timing and depth of your

pressing the pedal.

• Grand Expression Modeling for superbly expressive sound

On an actual acoustic piano, subtle changes in the sound can be produced by changing your playing touch

from when you press a key to when you release it. The Grand Expression Modeling technology recreates

these subtle changes in the sound that respond to your touch. This allows you to add accents by playing

strongly or add resonance by playing softly to produce superbly expressive sound.

Realistic feeling of being immersed in the sound

—even when using headphones page 22

When headphones are connected, the sounds of the CFX and Bösendorfer automatically switch to binaural sampling

sound—which gives the impression of being immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the piano.

When other piano Voices are selected, the Stereophonic Optimizer effect reproduces a natural sound distance.

Convenient performance functions

Rhythm Tracks page 42

All models feature twenty different simple rhythm patterns (drums and bass accompaniment) that are perfectly suited

to many types of music regularly performed on the piano, for even greater performance potential.

Preset Songs for effective practicing page 43

Also built into this instrument are 50 classical music masterpieces, plus 303 lesson Songs for mastering the piano. You

can simply enjoy listening to these built-in Songs, or use them for separate right-hand/left-hand practicing.* The 303

lesson Songs consist of practice pieces taken from various standard piano instruction manuals, including “The Virtuoso

Pianist.”

*The part on/off function is available only for MIDI songs that have both right- and left-hand parts.

Two recording methods page 54

The instrument lets you save your performance to internal memory or a USB flash drive (sold separately). You can

record your performance using one of two methods, MIDI or Audio recording, according to your needs. MIDI

recording is ideal for making independent tracks—for example, recording a right-hand part to Track 1 first, and then a

left-hand part to Track 2—allowing you to create pieces that would be difficult to play live with both hands together.

Audio recording on the other hand, saves recorded data in stereo, CD-quality WAV format to a USB flash drive, for

storing to computer and playing on portable music players.

Connecting to a Smart Device page 77

By connecting this instrument to a smart device such as smart phone or tablet, you can enjoy compatible smart device

apps. In addition, you can input the audio from a smart device to this instrument via Bluetooth* and hear it through the

built-in speakers of the instrument.

*The models CLP-785, CLP-775, CLP-745, CLP-795GP and CLP-765GP are equipped with Bluetooth functionality; however, even these

models may not support Bluetooth, depending on the country in which you purchased the product. For details, refer to page 142.

Fortepiano Voices—authentic classical period

piano sounds

All models feature authentic sounds created with samples of

actual fortepianos—pianos which were made in the era of Mozart,

Beethoven and Chopin. Enjoy performing with the actual sounds

used in the era that classical music masterpieces were composed.

Refer to page 30 for selecting Voices.

*The fortepiano shown in the picture is from the collection of at the
