Getting Started — Playing the Clavinova as a Piano
Getting Started — Playing the Clavinova as a Piano
With the full set of pedals and expressive keyboard, this instrument can be played just like a real acoustic
piano. This section shows you how to simply set up the instrument and play it. It also shows you how to use
the built-in metronome, convenient for practice purposes. We’ve also included for your piano-playing
pleasure “50 greats for the Piano,” a score book to help you master the instrument.
CAUTION
• Hold the cover with both hands when opening or closing it. Do not release it until it is fully opened or closed. Be careful to avoid catching
fingers (yours or others, especially children’s) between the cover and the unit.
• Do not place objects such as a piece of metal or paper on top of the key cover. Small objects placed on the key cover may fall inside the
unit when the cover is opened and may be nearly impossible to remove. This could cause electric shock, short circuit, fire or other
serious damage to the instrument.
NOTICE
• Disconnect the optional USB storage device connected to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal before closing the key cover. Closing the cover
with the device still connected may damage the device.
• (CLP-S408/S406) When transporting the instrument, cover the entire keyboard with the protective sheet (pages 76, 80) before closing the
key cover. The sheet will protect the keyboard from being scratched.
To open the key cover:
Lift the cover slightly, then push and slide it to the end completely so that
both the panel buttons and keyboard are visible. In this condition, you can
make various panel operations such as Voice selection and Song recording/
playback as well as playing the keyboard.
To close the key cover:
Slide the cover toward you and gently lower the cover over the keys.
You can open the key cover so that only the keyboard appears. This hides
the “electronic” panel controls and lets you feel as if you’re playing an actual
acoustic piano.
To open the key cover:
1.
Hold the front edge of the key cover top with both hands, then open
the key cover slowly.
2.
Close the edge of the key cover. (Fold it down so that it is flat with
the cover.)
To close the key cover:
1.
If the music rest is unfolded, fold it back.
2.
Unfold the edge of the key cover.
3.
Hold the key cover with both hands and close it slowly.
