•
Before connecting the instrument to other electronic compo-
nents, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the
power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to mini-
mum. 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.
•
On the CVP-210, gently remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth.
Do not wipe too hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the
instrument's finish.
•
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.
•
Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do
not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instru-
ment.
•
Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the
gaps on the key cover, panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn
off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the
AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
•
Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument,
since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
•
On the CVP-210, bumping the surface of the instrument with
metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can cause the finish to
crack or peel. Use caution.
•
Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instru-
ment, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or
connectors.
•
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 physician.
•
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 step-ladder or for any other purpose might result in acci-
dent or injury.
•
Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to
prevent the possibility of accident or injury.
•
On the CVP-210 bench, do not attempt to 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.
•
If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term
use, tighten them periodically using the included tool.
Saving and backing up your data
•
Some of the current memory data (see page 43) is lost when you
turn off the power to the instrument. Save the data to a floppy
disk/the User Drive (see page 40, 48).
Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect opera-
tion. Save important data to a floppy disk.
Backing up the floppy disk
•
To protect against data loss through media damage, we recom-
mend that you save your important data onto two floppy disks.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
ConnectionsMaintenanceHandling cautionUsing the bench (If included)Saving dataWhen you change settings in a display page and then exit
from that page, System Setup data (listed in the Parameter
Chart of the separate Data List booklet) is automatically
stored. However, this edited data is lost if you turn off the
power without properly exiting from the relevant display.
Caution for data operations
Make sure NEVER to turn the CVP-210/208’s power off during any kind of data operation involving the USER/FLOPPY DISK drives — such
as saving, deleting, or copying/pasting — until the operation is completely finished. (Make sure to wait until the alert message disappears.)
Turning the power off during the operation results in the loss of the data being saved or pasted to the respective drive.
Keeping the power on during such operations is particularly important in regard to the USER drive. Turning off the power while performing
a save/delete/paste operation with the USER drive may result in loss of ALL data on the USER drive (upon the next power on) — and not
just the data in question. In other words, if you are performing a save/delete/paste operation on only the song data of the USER drive and
you turn off the power before the operation is completed, you risk losing ALL your USER drive data — including all voices, styles, and Reg-
istration Memory presets you’ve saved to the USER drive.
This caution also applies to creating a new folder on the USER drive or using the factory reset operation (page 154).
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
