Turn Power On
After making sure that the Clavinova’s AC plug is properly inserted into a
convenient AC wall outlet, press the [POWER] switch located to the left of the
keyboard to turn the power ON.
When the power is turned ON, the [PIANO] voice selector LED will light
(the PIANO voice is automatically selected whenever the power is turned ON).
Initially set the [MASTER VOLUME] control about half way between the
“MIN” and “MAX” settings. Then, when you start playing, re-adjust the [MAS-
TER VOLUME] control for the most comfortable listening level.
Select the desired voice by pressing one of the voice selectors.
The Clavinova 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.
You can also add reverb as desired by using the [REVERB] button (see page 7
for [REVERB] button operation).
