Introduction

Thank you for choosing a Yamaha Clavinova. Your Clavinova is a fine musical instrument that employs

advanced Yamaha music technology. With the proper care, your Clavinova will give you many years of

musical pleasure.

Stereo sampling of the acoustic piano voices offers unmatched realism and expressive
power, while the AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generator system offers rich,
realistic reproductions of all other voices.
Piano-like touch response — adjustable in 4 stages — provides extensive expressive
control and outstanding playability.
Dual mode allows 2 voices to be played simultaneously.
Split mode (CLP-880/860) allows different voices to be played by the left and right
hands.
On the CLP-880/860, damper pedal includes natural resonance effect for the piano
voices, simulating the string and sound-board resonance of acoustic pianos.
Metronome feature with variable tempo facilitates practice.
2-track digital recorder lets you record and play back anything you play on the key-
board.
MIDI compatibility and a range of MIDI functions make the Clavinova useful in a range
of advanced MIDI music systems.
Built-in computer interface for direct connection to personal computers running ad-
vanced music software.

In order to make the most of your Clavinova’s performance potential and features, we urge you to read

this Owner’s Manual thoroughly, and keep it in a safe place for later reference.
