IMPORTANT

— Check your power supply —

Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage speciﬁed on the name plate on the bottom panel. In some areas a

voltage selector may be provided on the rear panel of the main keyboard unit near the power cord. Make sure that the voltage

selector is set for the voltage in your area. The voltage selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially shipped. To change the

setting use a “minus” screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage appears next to the pointer on the panel.

For information on assembling the instrument, refer to the instructions at the end of this manual.

IMPORTANT

— Vérifiez votre alimentation électrique —

Vériﬁez que la tension de l’alimentation secteur correspond à celle indiquée sur la plaque du fabricant, située sur le panneau

inférieur. Les instruments destinés à certaines régions disposent d’un sélecteur de tension. Il est installé sur le panneau arrière de

l’unité principale du clavier, à côté du câble d’alimentation. Assurez-vous que ce sélecteur est réglé sur la tension utilisée dans

votre pays. À sa sortie d’usine, le sélecteur est réglé sur 240 V. Pour modiﬁer ce réglage, utilisez un tournevis plat et faites tourner

le cadran du sélecteur jusqu’à ce que la valeur correcte apparaisse à côté de l’indicateur ﬁgurant sur le panneau.

Pour plus d’informations sur l’assemblage de l’instrument, reportez-vous aux instructions ﬁgurant à la ﬁn de ce manuel.

IMPORTANTE

— Revise la fuente de alimentación —

Asegúrese de que la tensión de la red eléctrica local de CA coincida con la tensión especiﬁcada en la placa del panel inferior. Es

posible que, en algunas zonas, se suministre un selector de tensión en el panel posterior del teclado principal, junto al cable de

alimentación. Asegúrese de que este selector esté ajustado según la tensión de la zona. El selector viene ajustado de fábrica para

240 V. Para cambiar el ajuste, utilice un destornillador de punta normal para girar el selector hasta que la tensión correcta

aparezca al lado del puntero del panel.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or

damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a

multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality,

or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an

outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by

the cord can damage it.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is

not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical

storms.

• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the

assembly process. Failure to assemble the instrument in the

proper sequence might result in damage to the instrument or

even injury.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it

might accidentally fall over.

• When transporting or moving the instrument, always use two

or more people. Attempting to lift the instrument by yourself

may damage your back, result in other injury, or cause damage

to the instrument itself.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you

are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction

occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect

the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned

off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum

level. When you are not using the product for a long time,

make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic

components, turn off the power for all components. Before

turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume

levels to minimum.

• 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.

• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or

instrument. Also take care that the key cover does not pinch

your finger.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the

gaps on the key cover, panel or keyboard. This could cause

physical injury to you or others, damage to the instrument or

other property, or operational failure.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the

instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons,

switches or connectors.

• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones 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 stepladder or for any other purpose might result in

accident or injury.

• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to

prevent the possibility of accident or injury.

• For benches that can be adjusted, 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.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Main Features

Real Grand Expression (RGE) Sound Engine

This lets you enjoy the playing response and expressive capability of a concert grand piano. In addition to providing

smooth tonal changes that respond to your playing touch, it also features a new Smooth Release function which can

clearly enunciate staccato notes and produce the sound of lingering resonance when gently lifting your fingers from the

keys. It succeeds in capturing the essence of a piano performance to create grand piano-like, richly expressive

experiences.

GP Soundboard Speakers for simulating a Grand Piano

This special speaker system, located on the rear panel, will simulate or produce the reverberation and spaciousness of the

sound as if there were the soundboard of a grand piano.

NW (Natural Wood) keyboard with synthetic ivory keytops and Linear Graded

Hammer

The CLP-480 features a keyboard that has the feel of real ivory. The key surface is soft and slightly porous, giving the keys

added grip and a natural friction that lets you play easily. The special Natural Wood keyboard uses real-wood white keys

just as an actual grand piano. Moreover, Linear Graded Hammer features the lower keys are heavy in touch and the

higher keys are light, with all the natural gradations in between. The CLP-480 provides the performance functions and

expressive power found only on grand pianos, such as having repeated plays of the same note perfectly articulated, even

when playing at high speed or with partial key release.

Tri-Amp System

The instrument has a built-in Tri-Amp System that features separate amplification for each speaker range—high, mid,

and low—providing greater clarity and accuracy from each speaker, ensuring optimum volume balance for each octave

range, and letting you enjoy richer, more natural, expansive sound.

Audio Playing and Recording from a USB Flash Memory

Audio files (.wav) saved to a USB storage device such as a USB flash memory can be played back on the instrument.

Moreover, since you can record your performance as audio data to a USB flash memory device, it is possible to listen to

your performance on portable music players, with the data transferred by computer.

Introduction

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” (Music Book) to help you master the instrument.

1. Connect the power cable.

First insert the plug of the power cable into the AC connector on this instrument, then plug the other end of the

cable into the proper AC outlet on the wall. For an illustration of the location of the [AC IN] connector, see “Panel

Controls and Terminals” (page 11). In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin configuration

of the AC wall outlets in your area.

2. Open the key cover.

Lift the cover slightly, then push and slide it to end

completely so that both the panel buttons and keyboard are

visible. In this condition, you can make various panel

Turning the power on

WARNING

• Make sure your instrument is rated for the AC voltage supplied in the area in which it is to be used (voltage rating appears on

the name plate on the bottom panel). In some areas, a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main

keyboard unit near the AC IN. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. Connecting the unit to

the wrong AC supply can cause serious damage to the internal circuitry and may even pose a shock hazard!

• Use only the AC power cord supplied with your instrument. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and needs to be replaced,

contact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a fire and shock hazard!

• The type of AC power cord provided with your instrument may be different depending on the country in which it is

purchased. (In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin configuration of the AC wall outlets in your

area.) Do NOT modify the plug provided with your instrument. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed

by a qualified electrician.

Introduction

Getting Started — Playing the Clavinova as a Piano

This instrument is equipped with three foot pedals: damper pedal (right),

sostenuto pedal (center), and soft pedal (left).

Damper pedal (right pedal)

When you press the damper pedal, the notes you play

have a longer sustain. When you select a Grand Piano

Voice, pressing the damper pedal activates the

instrument’s special “Sustain Samples” to accurately

recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic grand

piano’s soundboard and strings. You can set the depth of

the Sustain Sampling (page 71).

Sostenuto pedal (center pedal)

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the

sostenuto pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will

sustain as long as the pedal is held. All subsequent notes

will not sustain.

Soft pedal (left pedal)

The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played

while the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing

when it is pressed. When you wish to apply this effect, play notes after pressing the

pedal.

Keep in mind that this pedal function will be changed from the Soft pedal depending

on the selected Voice. When the Jazz Organ or Mellow Organ is selected, pressing

and releasing this pedal switches between “fast” and “slow” of the Rotary Speaker

speed (“RotarySpeed” on page 64). When the Vibraphone is selected, this pedal

switches between on and off of the Vibrato (“VibeRotorOnOff ” on page 64).

Using the pedals

When you press the damper

pedal here, the notes you

play before you release the

pedal have a longer sustain.

NOTE

For details about the Grand

Piano Voices to which the

Sustain Sampling can be

applied, refer to Preset Voice

List (detailed) on page 75.

NOTE

You can assign other functions

to each pedal by using

“RPedalFunc,” ”CPedalFunc”

and ”LPedalFunc” in Voice

Setting (page 65).

NOTE

While the sostenuto (center)

pedal is held, the Voices in the

[PIPE ORGAN], [JAZZ

ORGAN], [STRINGS], [CHOIR]

and some Voices in the [XG]

may sound continuously

without decay after the notes

have been released.

NOTE

The center pedal or left pedal

can be used as equivalent to

the [PLAY/PAUSE] button on

the panel by setting the

“PedalPlay/Pause” parameter

(page 70).

NOTE

The pedals are covered with

vinyl covers when shipped

from the factory. For optimum

use of the GP Responsive

Damper Pedal, we

recommend that you remove

the cover from the damper

pedal.

Half-pedal function

This instrument also has a Half-pedal function which allows you to use half-damper

techniques, in which the damper is pressed somewhere between all the way down and

all the way up. In this half-damper state (on a real piano), the damper felts only

partially mute the strings. The Half-pedal function on the Clavinova lets you delicately

and expressively control the damper muting, and create subtle nuances in your

performance. It also lets you finely control the point at which pressure on the pedal

affects the damper muting. (Refer to “Other settings — [FUNCTION]” on page 70.)

GP Responsive Damper Pedal

The damper pedal of this instrument is the GP Responsive Damper Pedal. This special

pedal has been designed to provide enhanced tactile response and, when pressed, is

much closer in feel to the pedal of an actual grand piano. It makes it easier to

physically experience the half-pedal point and more easily apply the half-pedal effect

than other pedals. Since the pressing sensation may vary depending on the situation,

including the location where the instrument is installed, you should adjust the half-

pedal point to the desired setting (page 70).

When you press the sostenuto

pedal here while holding the

note(s), the notes will sustain

as long as you hold the pedal.

Introduction

Maintenance

To keep your Clavinova in optimum condition, we recommend

that you periodically follow the maintenance points below.

Instrument and Bench Maintenance

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.

If you are using a model with a polished finish, 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.

To keep the surface polished, apply commercially available piano polisher to a soft cloth and wipe the

instrument’s surface with it. Then, polish it with a separate cloth. Before using any piano polisher,

make sure to read the instructions for proper usage.

• Tighten the screws of the instrument and bench periodically.

NOTICE

Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

Bench Height Adjustment (for applicable benches)

The bench height can be adjusted by rotating the handle. Rotating clockwise heightens the bench.

(Before shipment, the handle is firmly fastened.)

Pedal Cleaning

As with an acoustic piano, pedals may become tarnished over years of use. When this occurs, polish the

pedal with a compound designed for piano pedals. Before using the compound, make sure to read the

instructions for proper usage.

Tuning

Unlike an acoustic piano, the instrument does not need to be tuned. It always stays perfectly in tune.

Transporting

You can transport the instrument along with other belongings. You can move the unit as it is

(assembled) or you can disassemble the unit down to the condition it was in when you first took it out of

the box. Transport the keyboard horizontally. Do not lean it up against a wall or stand it up on its side.

Do not subject the instrument to excessive vibration or shock.

When transporting the assembled instrument, make sure all screws are properly tightened and have not

been loosened by moving the instrument.

NOTE

To ensure optimum performance of the GP Soundboard Speaker function, place the instrument so that the rear side

of the instrument is 1 – 2 cm away from the wall.
