Selecting & Playing Voices
Turn Power On..................................................................................................
After making sure that the Clavinova’s AC cord is properly plugged
into the Clavinova itself and plugged into a convenient AC wall outlet,
press the [POWER] switch located to the right of the keyboard to turn
the power ON. In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match
the pin configuration of the AC wall outlets in your area.
When the power is turned ON, one of the voice selector LEDs will
light, and the power indicator located below the left end of the key-
board will light (except for CLP-820S).
Set the Volume..................................................................................................
Initially set the [MASTER VOLUME] control about half way
between the “MIN” and “MAX” settings. Then, when you start playing,
re-adjust the [MASTER VOLUME] control for the most comfortable
listening level.
Select a Voice.....................................................................................................
Select the desired voice by pressing one of the voice selectors. Use
the [VARIATION] button to select a variation of the current voice, as
required.

Play................................................................................................................................
The Clavinova also offers keyboard touch response, so the volume
and timbre of notes played can be controlled according to how “hard”
you play the keys. The amount of variation available depends on the
selected voice.
Add Effects As Required.......................................................................
You can add or change reverb, effects (CLP-880/860/840) and
brilliance (CLP-880/860/840) as desired by using the [REVERB]
button (page 18), [EFFECT] button (page 19) and the [BRIL-
LIANCE] control (page 19).
