PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from
electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to,
the following:
Power supply/Power cord
Water warning
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required
voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into
any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the
power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have
the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may
have accumulated on it.
• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators,
and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy
objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or
roll anything over it.
Fire warning
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
Do not open
If you notice any abnormality
• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or
modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If
it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden
loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke
should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch,
disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
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:
Power supply/Power cord
Location
• 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.
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold
or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to
prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal
components.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used
for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment,
mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio
may generate noise.
• 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.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.
Assembly
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/one-inch from
the wall), since this can cause inadequate air circulation, and possibly result in
the instrument overheating.

over.
components, set all volume levels to minimum. 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.
• 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 accident or injury.
• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the
possibility of accident or injury.
Maintenance
• 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.
• In the case of 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.
• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten
them periodically using the included tool.
• 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.
Saving data
Saving and backing up your data
• During extreme changes in temperature or humidity, condensation may occur
and water may collect on the surface of the instrument. If water is left, the
wooden parts may absorb the water and be damaged. Make sure to wipe any
water off immediately with a soft cloth.
• Edited Songs/Styles/Voices and MIDI settings are lost when you turn off the
storage device (USB flash memory/floppy disk, etc).
• Data in the USER tab display may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect
operation. Save important data to a USB storage device.
Handling caution
• 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 instrument.
When you change settings in a display page and then exit from that
page, Data other than above (edited Songs/Styles/Voices and MIDI
settings, etc.) is automatically stored. However, this edited data is
lost if you turn off the power without properly exiting from the
relevant display.
• 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.
Backing up the USB storage device
• To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you
save your important data onto two USB storage devices.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this
might discolor the panel or keyboard.
• In the case of a model with a polished finish, 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 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.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

The instrument is compatible with the following formats.
“GM (General MIDI)” is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. “GM System Level 2” is a standard
specification that enhances the original “GM” and improves Song data compatibility. It provides for increased
polyphony, greater Voice selection, expanded Voice parameters, and integrated effect processing.
XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to pro-
vide more Voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects, and to ensure compat-
ibility of data well into the future.
GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhancement of the
GM specifically to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expressive control
over Voices and effects.
The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and open-
ended expandability for the future. This instrument is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric
data is played.
“SFF (Style File Format)” is an original Style file format by Yamaha which uses a unique conversion system to pro-
vide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types. “SFF GE (Guitar Edition)” is an
enhanced format of SFF, which features improved note transposition for guitar tracks.

VH (Vocal Harmony) employs the digital signal processing technology to automatically add appropriate vocal har-
monies to a lead vocal line sung by the user.

When iAFC is engaged, the instrument will sound deeper and more resonant, similar
to an acoustic musical instrument. This lets you experience the ambience and
reverberation that are characteristic of performing on stage or simulates the sustain
sound that occur when you press the damper pedal of a grand piano.
When using iAFC, do not block

the rear panel of the instrument.
The optimal iAFC effect cannot
be obtained if this speaker is
blocked.

To keep your Clavinova in optimum condition, we recommend that you
periodically follow the maintenance points below.
Maintenance
■ Instrument and Bench Maintenance
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.
CAUTION
Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
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.
1
• Tighten the screws of the instrument and bench periodically.
■ Bench Height Adjustment
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 across the ages. 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.
CAUTION
Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Otherwise, the pedal may become discolored or
degraded.
■ Tuning
Unlike an acoustic piano, the instrument does not need to be tuned. It always stays perfectly in tune.
■ Transporting
If you move to another location, 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.
(CVP-509) After transporting the instrument, do the
following to ensure optimum performance of the
• Place the Clavinova so that its rear panel is at least
10 cm away from the wall.
• (When using the SPATIAL EFFECT) Perform the
automatic adjustment of the iAFC function.

Voice Types
Organ FlutesVoices
Percussion/Drum Voices
When one of the Voices is selected from this button,
you can play various drums and percussion instru-
ments or SFX (sound effects) sounds on the key-
board. Details are given in the Drum List of the
separate Data List.
NOTE
MegaVoices, SA and SA2 Voices are
only compatible with other models
which have those types of Voices
installed. Any Song or Style data
you’ve created on the instrument
using these Voices will not sound
properly when played back on other
instruments.
• Voice Characteristics
The Voice type and its defining characteristics are indicated above the Voice
name—Live!, Cool!, Sweet!, etc. For detailed explanation, refer to the Reference
Manual.
In this section, only MegaVoice and Super Articulation Voices (SA and SA2) are
explained. These Voices have special characteristics you should be aware of, and
they require specific performance techniques to bring out all of their expressive
qualities.
2
NOTE
MegaVoices (CVP-509/505/503)
MegaVoices, SA and SA2 Voices
sound differently depending on the
keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc.
Hence, if you apply HARMONY/ECHO
effect, change the transpose setting or
change the Voice Set parameters,
unexpected or undesired sounds may
result.
What makes MegaVoices special is their use of velocity switching. Each velocity
range (the measure of your playing strength) has a completely different sound.
For example, a guitar MegaVoice includes the sounds of various performance
techniques. In conventional instruments, different Voices having those sounds
would be called up via MIDI and played in combination to achieve the desired
effect. However, now with MegaVoices, a convincing guitar part can be played
with just a single Voice, using specific velocity values to play the desired sounds.
Because of the complex nature of these Voices and the precise velocities need to
play the sounds, they’re not intended for playing from the keyboard. They are,
however, very useful and convenient when creating MIDI data—especially when
you want to avoid using several different Voices just for a single instrument part.
Super Articulation Voices (CVP-509/505)
The word “articulation” in music usually refers to the transition or continuity
between notes. This is often reflected in specific performance techniques, such as
staccato, legato and slur. Two types of Voices—Super Articulation (SA) Voices
and Super Articulation 2 (SA2) Voices—enable you to create these subtle
musical expressions, simply by how you play. (SA2 Voices are available only on
the CVP-509.)
• SA Voices (S.Articulation!)
The SA Voices provide many of same benefits as the MegaVoices, but with
greater playability and expressive control in real time.
For example, with the Saxophone Voice, if you play a C and then a D in a
very legato way, you will hear the note change seamlessly, as though a
saxophone player played it in a single breath. Similarly with the Concert
Guitar Voice, the D note would sound as a “hammer on,” without the string
being plucked again.
Depending on how you play, other effects such as shake or breath noises (for
the Trumpet Voice), or finger noises (for the Guitar Voice) will be produced.
40
CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
• SA2 Voices (S. Articulation2!) (CVP-509)
NOTE
Mainly for wind instrument Voices, a special Yamaha technology called
AEM has been used, which features detailed samples of special expressive
techniques used on those specific instruments—to bend or slide into notes, to
“join” different notes together, or to add expressive nuances at the end of a
note, etc.
You can add these articulations by playing legato or staccato, or by jumping
in pitch by around an octave. For example, using the Clarinet Voice, if you
hold a C note and play the Bb above, you’ll hear a glissando up to the Bb.
Some “note off” effects are also produced automatically when you hold a
note for over a certain time.
The characteristics of SA2 Voices
(default vibrato setting and articula-
tion effects applied by the pedals) are
effective for real-time performance;
however, these effects may not be
completely reproduced when you play
back a Song which has been recorded
using SA2 Voices.
For details on how to best play each SA and SA2 Voice, call up the information
window (pressing the [7 ▲] (INFO) button in the Voice Selection display).
2
AEM Technology
When you play the piano, pressing a “C” key produces a definite and relatively
fixed C note. When you play a wind instrument, however, a single fingering may
produce several different sounds depending on the breath strength, the note
length, the adding of trills or bend effects, and other performance techniques.
Also, when playing two notes continuously—for example “C” and “D”—these
two notes will be smoothly joined, and not sound independent as they would on a
piano.
AEM (Articulation Element Modeling) is the technology for simulating this
characteristic of instruments. During performance, the most appropriate sound
samples are selected in sequence in real time, from huge quantities of sampled
data. They are smoothly joined and sounded—as would naturally occur on an
actual acoustic instrument.
This technology to smoothly join different samples enables the application of
realistic vibrato. Conventionally on electronic musical instruments, vibrato is
applied by moving the pitch periodically. AEM technology goes much further by
analyzing and disaggregating the sampled vibrato waves, and smoothly joins the
disaggregated data in real time during your performance.

With the center/left pedals, you can add articulation effects and characteristic
instrument performance sounds to your playing. When you select a SA or SA2
Voice, the function of center and left pedals are switched to control articulation
effects.
SA2 Voices are available only on the
CVP-509. SA Voices are available
only on the CVP-509/505.

Three examples of effects are introduced to the following. The applied articulation
effect differs depending on the selected Voice. For details, refer to the Information
display called up by pressing the [7 ▲] (INFO) button on the Voice Selection
display.
■ Pressing a pedal triggers different playing effects, separate from your keyboard
playing. For example, pressing a pedal for a saxophone Voice can produce breath
noises or key noises, while doing the same for a guitar Voice can produce fret
noises or body-tapping sounds.You can effectively intersperse these into the notes
as you play.
2
NOTE
■ Playing the keyboard while pressing a pedal changes the nature of Voice. For
example, in the case of the nylon guitar Voice, pressing the corresponding pedal
lets you play harmonics for the guitar Voice. Releasing the pedal returns the Voice
to normal.
Keeping with the realistic response of
the original instruments, the effects
applied vary depending on the range
you are playing in.
■ When an SA2 Voice is selected (CVP-509), pressing a pedal and playing/releasing
a note enables you to add articulation effects, such as bend up/down, glissando
up/down, brass fall, etc.
NOTE
When you select SA/SA2 Voices for
two or more keyboard parts, pressing
a pedal simultaneously affects all
parts on which SA/SA2 Voices are
selected.

Style Characteristics
The Style type and its defining characteristics are indicated on the Preset
Style icon.
• Pro (P): These Styles provide professional and exciting arrangements
combined with perfect playability. The resulting accompaniment exactly
follows the chords of the player. As a result, your chord changes and col-
orful harmonies are instantly transformed into lifelike musical accompani-
ment.
• Session (S): These Styles provide even greater realism and authentic back-
ing by mixing in original chord types and changes, as well as special riffs
with chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been programmed
to add “spice” and a professional touch to your performances of certain
songs and in certain genres. Keep in mind, however, that the Styles may
not necessarily be appropriate—or even harmonically correct-for all songs
and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a simple
major triad for a country song may result in a “jazzy” seventh chord, or
playing an on-bass chord may result in inappropriate or unexpected
accompaniment.
3
• Free Play (F) (CVP-509/505): These Styles are characterized by rubato
performance. You can perform freely with remarkably expressive accom-
paniment, without being constrained by a strict tempo.
• Pianist (P): These special Styles provide piano-only accompaniment. Just
by playing the proper chords with your left hand, you can automatically
add complicated, professional-sounding arpeggios and bass/chord pat-
terns.
Style file compatibility
509/505/503/501 can play back existing SFF files, but they will be saved in
the SFF GE format when the file is saved (or pasted) in the CVP-509/505/
503/501. Please keep in mind that the saved file can only be played back on
instruments that are compatible with the SFF GE format.

Adjusting the Overall Volume Using the Master Compressor
CVP-509 CVP-505 CVP-503 CVP-501
Compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and compress the dynamics
(softness/loudness) of an audio signal. For signals that vary widely in dynamics,
such as vocals and guitar parts, it “squeezes” the dynamic range, effectively making
soft sounds louder and loud sounds softer. When used with gain to boost the overall
level, this creates a more powerful, more consistently high-level sound.

NOTE
CVP-509 CVP-505 CVP-503 CVP-501
Make sure you have a conventional
dynamic microphone.
NOTE
By connecting a microphone or guitar to the [MIC./LINE IN] jack (standard 1/4"
phone jack), you can enjoy singing along with your own performance or playing
guitar along with Song playback. The instrument outputs your vocals or guitar
sounds through the built-in speakers. The following instructions show how to
connect a microphone. Please note that when connecting a guitar or other devices of
high output level, make sure to set the [MIC. LINE] switch to “LINE.”
Always set the INPUT VOLUME to
minimum when nothing is connected
to the [MIC./LINE IN] jack. Since the
[MIC./LINE IN] jack is highly sensi-
tive, it may pick up and produce noise
even when nothing is connected.
1 Set the [INPUT VOLUME] knob to the minimum position.
2 Connect the microphone to the [MIC./LINE IN] jack.
3 Set the [MIC. LINE] switch to “MIC.”
4 (For microphones having a power source, turn on the power
first.) Adjust the [INPUT VOLUME] knob while singing into the
microphone.
Adjust the control while checking the SIGNAL and OVER lamps. The SIGNAL
lamp lights to indicate that an audio signal is being received. Make sure to
adjust the INPUT VOLUME so that this lamp is light. The OVER lamp lights
when the input level is too high. Make sure to adjust the INPUT VOLUME so
that this lamp does not light.

NOTE
Set the [INPUT VOLUME] knob to the
minimum position before turning off
the power.
Disconnecting the microphone
1. Set the [INPUT VOLUME] knob to the minimum position.

Connecting a USB Storage Device
By connecting a USB storage device to the instrument’s [USB TO DEVICE] terminal, you can save data you’ve
created to the device.
Precautions when using the [USB TO
DEVICE] terminal
When connecting a USB device to the terminal, be sure to
handle the USB device with care. Follow the important pre-
cautions below.
Using USB Storage Devices
By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device, you
can save data you’ve created to the connected device, as well
as read data from the connected device.
NOTE
NOTE
Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to the instrument, they can-
not be used for saving data.
For more information about the handling of USB devices, refer to the owner’s
manual of the USB device.
■ The number of USB storage device to be used
Up to two USB storage devices can be connected to the
[USB TO DEVICE] terminal. (If necessary, use a USB hub.
The number of USB storage devices that can be used simul-
taneously with musical instruments even when a USB hub is
used is a maximum of two.) This instrument can recognize
up to four drives in one USB storage device.
■ Compatible USB devices
• USB storage devices (flash memory, floppy disk drive,
hard disk drive, etc.)
• USB-LAN adaptor
• USB hub
The instrument does not necessarily support all commer-
cially available USB devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee oper-
ation of USB devices that you purchase. Before purchasing a
USB device for use with this instrument, please visit the fol-
lowing web page:
■ Formatting USB storage media
When a USB storage device is connected or media is
inserted, a message may appear prompting you to format the
device/media. If so, execute the Format operation (page 107).
http://music.yamaha.com/download/
NOTE
CAUTION
Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or mouse cannot be used.
The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. Make
sure that the media you are formatting does not contain important
data. Proceed with caution, especially when connecting multiple
USB storage media.
■ Connecting a USB device
• When connecting a USB device to the [USB TO
DEVICE] terminal, make sure that the connector on the
device is appropriate and that it is connected in the
proper direction.
■ To protect your data (write-protect)
To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased,
apply the write-protect provided with each storage device or
media. If you are saving data to the USB storage device,
make sure to disable write-protect.
■ Connecting/removing USB storage device
Before removing the media from the device, make sure that
the instrument is not accessing data (such as in the Save,
Copy and Delete operations).
CAUTION
Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage
device, or connecting/disconnecting the device too often. Doing so
may result in the operation of the instrument “freezing” or hanging
up. While the instrument is accessing data (such as during Save,
Copy, Delete, Load and Format operations) or is mounting the USB
storage device (shortly after the connection), do NOT unplug the
USB connector, do NOT remove the media from the device, and do
NOT turn the power off to either device. Doing so may corrupt the
data on either or both devices.
CAUTION
When connecting a USB device to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal on
the top panel, remove it before closing the key cover. If the key
cover is closed with the USB device connected, the USB device may
be damaged.
10
• If you intend to connect two or three devices at the same
time to a terminal, you should use a USB hub device.
The USB hub must be self-powered (with its own power
source) and the power must be on. Only one USB hub
can be used. If an error message appears while using the
USB hub, disconnect the hub from the instrument, then
turn on the power of the instrument and re-connect the
USB hub.
• Though the instrument supports the USB 1.1 standard,
you can connect and use a USB 2.0 storage device with
the instrument. However, note that the transfer speed is
that of USB 1.1.

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive
(FDD) and Floppy Disks
(The floppy disk drive is optional. For instructions on installing the floppy disk drive, see page 127.)
The floppy disk drive lets you save original data you’ve created on the instrument to floppy disk, and allows you to
load data from floppy disk to the instrument.
Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important precautions below.
Floppy Disk Compatibility
Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head
3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.
• Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument employs a precision
magnetic read/write head which, after an extended period of use, will
pick up a layer of magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventu-
ally cause read and write errors.
• To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha recom-
mends that you use a commercially-available dry-type head cleaning disk
to clean the head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the
availability of proper head cleaning disks.
Formatting a Floppy Disk
If you find that you are unable to use new, blank disks or old disks that
have been used with other devices, you may need to format them. For
the disk will be lost after formatting. Make sure to check beforehand
whether or not the disk contains important data.
About Floppy Disks
NOTE
Floppy disks formatted on this device may or may not be useable as is on other devices.
Handle floppy disks with care, and follow these precau-
tions:
• Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply pressure to the disk
in any way. Always keep floppy disks in their protective cases when they
are not in use.
• Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high or low tempera-
tures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids.
Inserting/Removing Floppy Disks
Inserting a Floppy Disk into the Disk Drive:
Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and the sliding
shutter is facing forward, towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk
into the slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it clicks into place and
the eject button pops out.
• Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed surface of the
floppy disk inside.
• Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as those produced by tele-
visions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic fields can partially or
completely erase data on the disk, rendering it unreadable.
• Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing.
• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a floppy disk.
Also make sure that labels are attached in the proper location.
CAUTION
Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause
damage to the disk drive or floppy disks.
Removing a Floppy Disk
To ProtectYour Data (Write-protect Tab):
After checking that the instrument is not accessing* the floppy disk
(checking that the use lamp on the floppy disk drive is off), firmly press the
eject button at the upper right of the disk slot all the way in. When the
floppy disk is ejected, pull it out of the drive. If the floppy disk cannot be
removed because it is stuck, do not try to force it, but instead try pressing
the eject button again, or try re-inserting the disk and attempt to eject it
again.
To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk’s write-pro-
tect tab to the “protect” position (tab open). When saving data, make sure
that the disk’s write-protect tab is set to the “overwrite” position (tab
closed).
* Access of the disk indicates an active operation, such as recording, play-
back, or deletion of data.
If a floppy disk is inserted while the power is on, the disk is automatically
accessed, since the instrument checks whether the disk has data.
Write-protect tab

protected)
Do not remove the floppy disk or turn off the instrument itself while the disk is being
accessed. Doing so may result not only in loss of data on the disk but also damage
to the floppy disk drive.
Data Back up
Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive before turning off the
power. A floppy disk left in the drive for extended periods can easily pick
up dust and dirt that can cause data-read and -write errors.
For maximum data securityYamaha recommends that you keep two copies
of important data on separate floppy disks.

Troubleshooting
Overall
A click or pop is heard when the power is turned on or off.
Noise is heard from the instrument’s speakers.
Electrical current is being applied to the instrument. This is normal.
Noise may be heard if a mobile phone is used near the instrument or
if the phone is ringing. Turn off the mobile phone, or use it further
away from the instrument.
In the LCD display, there are some black points (unlit) or white
points (always lit).
(CVP-509/505) These are the result of defective pixels and occasion-
ally occur in TFT-LCDs; they do not indicate a problem in operation.
There is a slight difference in sound quality among different notes
played on the keyboard.
This is normal and is a result of the instrument’s sampling system.
Some Voices have a looping sound.
Some noise or vibrato is noticeable at higher pitches, depending
upon the Voice.
The overall volume is too low, or, no sound is heard.
The master volume may be set too low. Set it to an appropriate level
with the [MASTER VOLUME] dial.

Voice
The Voice selected from the Voice Selection display does not
sound.
Check whether or not the selected part is turned on (page 39).
A strange “flanging” or “doubling” sound occurs. The sound is
slightly different each time the keys are played.
The RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 parts are set to “ON,” and both parts are
set to play the same Voice. Turn off the RIGHT 2 part or change the
Voice of one of the parts.
Some Voices will jump an octave in pitch when played in the upper
or lower registers.
This is normal. Some voices have a pitch limit which, when reached,
causes this type of pitch shift.

The Style does not start even when the [START/STOP] button is
pressed.
The Rhythm channel of the selected Style may not contain any data.

[ACMP ON/OFF] button.
You may be playing keys in the right hand range of the keyboard.
Make sure to play keys in the chord range of the keyboard.
Styles in a USB storage device cannot be selected.
If the size of the Style data is large (about 120 KB or greater), the
Style cannot be selected because the data is too large to be ready by
the instrument.
Song
Songs cannot be selected.
This may be because the language settings have been changed. Set
the appropriate language for the Song file name (page 17).
If the size of the Song data is large (about 300 KB or greater), the
Song cannot be selected because the data is too large to be read by
the instrument.

The Song has been stopped at the end of the Song data. Return to
the beginning of the Song by pressing the SONG [STOP] button.
In the case a Song to which write-protect has been applied (“Prot. 2
Edit” is shown at the upper left of the Song name), the original file
may not be in the same folder. It cannot be played back unless the
original file (showing “Prot.2 Orig” at the upper left of the Song name)
is in the same folder.
In case of a Song to which write-protect has been applied (“Prot. 2
Edit” is shown at the upper left of the Song name), the original file
name may have been changed. Rename the file with the original file
name (so that “Prot.2 Orig” is shown at the upper left of the Song
name).
In case of a Song to which write-protect has been applied (“Prot. 2
Edit” is shown at the upper left of the Song name), the file icon may
have been changed. Songs to which write-protect has been applied
cannot be played back when the file icon of the original has been
changed.
Song playback stops before the Song is finished.
The Guide function is turned on. (In this case, playback is “waiting” for
the correct key to be played.) Press the [GUIDE] button to turn off the
guide function.
The measure number is different from that of the score in the Song
Position display, shown by pressing the [REW]/[FF] buttons.
This happens when playing back music data for which a specific, fixed
tempo is set.

Playback of these channels may be set to “OFF.”Turn playback ON for
those channels that are set to “OFF” (page 64).
The Guide lamps do not light during Song playback, even after
pressing the [GUIDE] button.
Any notes outside of the 88-key range cannot be indicated by the
Guide lamps.
The Guide lamps light an octave or two lower/higher than the actual
pitch.
The Guide lamps sometimes light an octave or two lower/higher than
the actual pitch depending on the selected Voice.
The tempo, beat, measure and music notation is not displayed cor-
rectly.
Some Song data for the instrument has been recorded with special
“free tempo” settings. For such Song data, the tempo, beat, measure
and music notation will not be displayed correctly.

USB Audio function (CVP-509/505/503)
The message “This drive is busy now.” appeared, and then the
recording was aborted.
Make sure to use a compatible USB storage device (page 106).
Make sure that the USB storage device has enough memory
If you are using a USB memory device to which data has already
been recorded, check first that no important data remains on the
Audio files cannot be selected.
The file format may not be compatible with the instrument. The com-
patible formats are: MP3 and WAV (CVP-509/505), WAV (CVP-503).
The DRM protected files cannot be played back.
Recorded file is played back at a different volume compared to
when it was recorded.
The audio playback volume has been changed. Setting the volume
value to 100 plays back the file as the same volume when it was
Mixing Console
The sound seems strange or different than expected when chang-
ing a rhythm Voice (drum kit, etc.) of the Style or Song from the
Mixer.
When changing the rhythm/percussion Voices (drum kits, etc.) of the
Style and Song from the VOICE parameter, the detailed settings
related to the drum voice are reset, and in some cases you may be
unable to restore the original sound. In the case of Song playback,
you can restore the original sound by returning to the beginning of the
Song and playing back from that point. In the case of Style play, you
can restore the original sound by selecting the same Style again.
Microphone/Vocal Harmony (CVP-509/505/503)
The microphone input signal cannot be recorded.
The microphone input signal cannot be recorded by Song recording.
Use the USB Audio function (page 86).
Harmony can be heard in addition to the microphone sound.
The Vocal Harmony effect sounds distorted or out-of-tune.
Your vocal microphone may be picking up extraneous sounds, such
as the Style sound from the instrument. In particular, bass sounds
can cause mistracking of the Vocal Harmony. To remedy this:
• Sing as closely to the microphone as possible.
• Use a unidirectional microphone.
• Turn down the Master volume, Style volume, or Song volume control
Pedal/AUX Pedal
The damper, sostenuto and soft functions do not work for the rele-
vant pedals.

plug into the proper jack (page 113, 115, 117).
Make sure that each pedal is properly assigned to SUSTAIN, SOSTE-
NUTO, and SOFT (page 32).

jack is reversed.
Turn the instrument’s power off, then turn on again without pressing
the footswitch.
