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.

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
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.
• 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 o the
power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument 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.

PRECAUTIONS
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 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.
• 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.
• 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 o the power for all components.
Before turning the power on or o 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.
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sun-
light, 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 televisions, radios, or speakers, since this
might cause interference which can aect proper operation of the other products.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
• 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. Also, 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 instrument, and do not use excessive force on the
buttons, switches or connectors.
• 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 o the power and remove the electric plug from the outlet and have the
instrument 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 possibly result in the instrument overheating.
• 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 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 phy-
sician.

PRECAUTIONS
■ 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.
• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them periodically using the
included tool.
■ SAVING USER DATA
• Always save data to a floppy disk or an external device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3 fre-
quently, 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 modifications to the instrument,
or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power o 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.
Compatible Disk Type
3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.
Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks
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 the floppy
disk drive is stopped. If the disk drive is operating (during
the [SaveToDisk] (P53), [DeleteSong] (P53), [RenameSong]
(P54), [CopyDisk] (P55), or [FormatDisk] (P56) opera-
tion), the Clavinova displays [Executing].
Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off
when the disk drive is operating. 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, care-
fully 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 posi-
tion 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.
Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head
• 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-avail-
able dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about
once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the avail-
ability 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.

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive(FDD) and Floppy Disk
About the 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 liq-
uids.
• 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 dam-
aged. To make a backup disk use the Copy Disk function
on page 55.
Maintenance
Clean the instrument using a dry, soft cloth or slightly damp, soft cloth (wring well).
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.
Before using the Clavinova, be sure to read “Precautions” on pages 3-5.
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 stuff. You can move the unit as it
is (assembled) or you can disassemble the unit down to the condition when you first open the package. Transport the
keyboard horizontally. Do not lean it to the wall and the like.

Features
The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-970 digital piano offers unmatched sonic realism and natural grand-piano type playabil-
ity as well as Yamaha’s original “AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling” tone generation technology for rich, musical
voices, and a special “Graded Hammer” keyboard that provides graded key weight and response throughout the key-
board range. The CLP-970 GrandPiano1 voice features totally new samples painstakingly recorded from a full con-
cert grand piano. The CLP-970 GrandPiano1 voice features five velocity-switched samples ( ), a Dynamic Sampling
“Soundboard Reverb” (page 33) effect that accurately simulates the resonance of a piano soundboard, “String Reso-
nance” (page 88) that recreates resonance of piano strings, special “ ” (page 88)that samples the Sustain Sampling
unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings when the damper pedal is pressed, and “Key-
off Samples” that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released. The CLP-970 comes much closer to the
sound of a true acoustic piano.

Before Using the Clavinova
Turning the power on
1. Connect the power cable.
First insert the plug of the power cable into the AC connector on the Clavinova, then plug the other end of
the cable into the proper AC outlet on the wall.
In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin conguration of the AC wall outlets in
your area.
WARNING!
Make sure your CLP-970 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-970. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and needs to be replaced, con-
tact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a re and shock hazard!
The type of AC power cord provided with the CLP-970 may be different depending on the country in which it is purchased. (In
some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin conguration of the AC wall outlets in your area.) Do NOT modify
the plug provided with the CLP-970. If the plug will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.

Using the pedals
The Clavinova has three foot pedals: damper pedal (right), sostenuto
pedal (center), and soft pedal (left) that produce a range of expressive
effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.
If the damper pedal doesn’t
work, or notes are sustained
even when the pedal is not
pressed, make sure that the
pedal cord is properly
plugged into the PEDAL jack
on the unit (see step 5 on
page 107). Also, make sure
that the RPedal parameter
in the “VOICE SETTING”
menu is set to ON (see page
81).
Damper (right) pedal
When you press the damper pedal, the notes
you play have a longer sustain.
When you select Grand Piano 1, pressing the
damper pedal activates the instrument’s special
“Sustain Samples” to accurately recreate the
unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s
soundboard and strings.
You can adjust the depth of
the resonance produced by
the “Sustain Samples” using
the Sustain Sampling Depth
parameter in the “OTHER
SETTING” menu. (See page
88.)
Sostenuto (center) pedal
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard
and press the sostenuto pedal while holding
the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as
the pedal is held. All subsequent notes will
not sustain.
You can assign a function to
each pedal via the “R
Pedal”, “M Pedal”, and “L
Pedal” parameters in the
“VOICE SETTING” menu.
(See page 81, 82.)
The center and left pedals
can also be assigned to
song start/stop operation
(START/PAUSE function) via
the “PedalStart/Pause”
parameter in the “OTHER
SETTING” menu (on page
89).
Soft pedal (left)
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. Press the pedal immediately before you
play the target notes.)
With the Vibraphone and Jazz Organ voices, this pedal turns vibrato on and
off or toggles the speed of vibrato. (See page 82.)

Transposition ... [TRANSPOSE]
The Clavinova’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in
semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures, and to let you easily match the pitch of the
keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the transposition amount to
“5,” playing key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play the song as if it were in C major, and the Clavi-
nova will transpose it to the key of F.
You can also change the key signature of playback songs, in addition to your own performance.
Procedure
Transpose:
Changing the key signature
of a song. On the Clavinova,
transposing shifts the pitch
of the entire keyboard.
1. Display the Transpose screen.
Press one of the TRANSPOSE [ ] and [ ] buttons.
2. Select a type of transposition from Manual or Song.
Use the C [–] and [+] buttons to select Manual or Song.
Manual ............... Your manual performance
Song .................... Playback song
The transposition range is
from “–12 semitones” (down
one octave) through “0” (nor-
mal pitch) to “12 semitones”
(up one octave).
3. Set the transposition amount.
Use the D [–] and [+] or TRANSPOSE [ ] and [ ] buttons
to set the transposition amount.
To set the amount of transposition to “0,” press the D [–] and [+] but-
tons or the TRANSPOSE [ ] and [ ] buttons simultaneously.
4. Return to the main screen.
