2. Select the desired song.
Use the C [–][+] buttons to select a song or folder.
Letters indicating song types and song numbers are shown on the left of the song
names, while letters indicating song types are shown on the left of folder names.

See page 40 for details regarding the letters used to indicate song types.
3. Start playback.
Press the [PLAY/PAUSE] button.
Starting playback automatically as you start playing the
keyboard (Sync Start)
You can start playback as soon as you start playing the keyboard. This is called the
“Sync Start” function.
To enter Sync Start standby mode, press and hold down the [STOP] button and
press the [PLAY/PAUSE] button. The [PLAY/PAUSE] indicator flashes.
Now play the keyboard. Playback starts simultaneously.
To cancel the Sync Start function, press the [STOP] button while the Clavinova is
in Sync Start standby mode.
You can move back and forth (rewind and fast forward) through the bars by using
the B [– (NO)][+ (YES)] buttons in the song select screen while the Clavinova is
playing or stopped.
You can play the keyboard while the Clavinova is playing back a song. You can also
play the notes in a voice different from the playback voice by selecting the voice
from the panel, and adjusting the volume balance between the playback parts and
your current performance using the [SONG BALANCE] slider. (See page 38.)
Press the [SONG SELECT] button to return to the song select screen.
Adjusting the tempo
You can use the TEMPO [DOWN][UP] buttons to adjust the playback tempo as
required before or during playback. The default tempo (the song’s original tempo)
is set when you press the [DOWN] and [UP] buttons simultaneously.
Press the [SONG SELECT] button to return to the song select screen.
4. Stop playback.
When playback is complete, the Clavinova automatically stops and locates the top
of the song. To stop playback in the middle of a song, press the [STOP] button.
You can also pause playback by pressing the [PLAY/PAUSE] button. Playback
pauses when you press the button.
5. Return to the main screen.
Press the [EXIT] button.
If the song name extends beyond
what can be displayed in the
screen, you can press the D [+]
button to move toward the right in
steps of one character. Press the D
[–] button to move back to the left
in steps of one character.
The “ ” and “ ” indicators may be
displayed in the lower right of the
screen. In this case, you can use
the D [+] button to open the folder.
Press the D [–] button to shift to the
upper level.
It is a good idea to shorten long
folder names (i.e., over 13
characters) on your computer
before using them. See
"Troubleshooting" (page 111) for
more details regarding the display
of folder names.
