Introduction
Getting Started — Playing the Clavinova as a Piano
This instrument has many buttons and controls — so many that you may feel overwhelmed at first. However,
once you understand the basic operations, you’ll find the instrument is very easy to use.
Selecting the item/parameter and changing the value
Each function may have many items or parameters from which you can choose. To select an item or
parameter, press one of the A [–][+] – D [–][+] buttons. Each parameter in the display corresponds to the A
[–][+] – D [–][+] button next to it.
Resetting the value to the default setting
If you’ve changed the parameter values or settings, you may want to reset them to their default settings. To do
this, simply press the [–][+] buttons simultaneously.
The TEMPO and BRILLIANCE buttons are the same shape as the A [–][+] – D [–][+] buttons. You can reset
the related values or parameters by simultaneously pressing buttons of this shape.
Executing or canceling the operation
When a prompt is shown on the upper right of the display, press the B [+ (YES)] / B [– (NO)] button to
execute or cancel the operation.
Returning to the Voice display (main operation display)
After you’ve used a function and want to exit from it, press the [EXIT] button.
