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.

Connections  
Using the bench (If included)  
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the  
power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all  
• Do not place the bench in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall  
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.  
(CVP-509/505/503)  
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.

Left Pedal  
• Right Pedal (Damper Pedal)  
NOTE  
This pedal performs the same function as the damper pedal on an actual acoustic  
piano, letting you sustain the sound of the Voices even after releasing the keys.  
The right pedal can be used to control the half pedal effect.  
Half-pedal: While playing the piano  
with Sustain and you want to slightly  
mute the sustained sound, release the  
pedal from maximum position to half  
position.  
NOTE  
Certain Voices, such as [STRINGS] or  
[BRASS], sustain continuously when  
the right/center pedal is pressed.  
When you press the right pedal here, the notes you play  
before you release the pedal have a longer sustain.  
• Center Pedal (Sostenuto Pedal)  
NOTE  
When the Piano Voice is selected, if you play a note or chord on the keyboard and  
press this pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the  
pedal is held. All subsequent notes will not sustain.  
Certain Voices such as drum kits may  
not be affected by use of the right/  
center pedal.  
When a Voice other than piano is selected, a specific function appropriate for the  
Voice is automatically assigned to the center pedal.  
When you press the center pedal here while holding  
the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as you hold  
the pedal.  
NOTE  
• Left Pedal  
You can adjust the depth of the left  
pedal effect.  
When the Piano Voice is selected, pressing this pedal reduces the volume and  
slightly changes the timbre of the notes you play.  
When a Voice other than piano is selected, a specific function appropriate for the  
Voice is automatically assigned to the center pedal.

Enhancing the Acoustic Realism of the Sound (iAFC)  
CVP-509 CVP-505 CVP-503 CVP-501  
CAUTION  
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  
or cover the speaker located on  
the rear panel of the instrument.  
The optimal iAFC effect cannot  
be obtained if this speaker is  
blocked.  
NOTE  
1 Call up the operation display.  
[FUNCTION] [H] iAFC SETTING  
iAFC uses Yamaha’s EMR (Electronic  
Microphone Rotator) technology to  
ensure stability against acoustic feed-  
back.

DYNAMIC  
DAMPER  
EFFECT  
This simulates the sustain sound that occurs when you  
press the damper pedal of a grand piano. The micro-  
phone is not used, but the sound produced within the  
instrument is processed to create a spacious sensation.  
[3 ▲▼]/  
[4 ▲▼]  
Spatial Effect creates a sense of reverberation and  
spaciousness by picking up the output sound using  
internal microphones and output the sound from the  
speaker on the rear of the instrument. The spread and  
spaciousness of the sound is different depending on  
the depth. The default setting for the depth is 0.  
For lower depth settings: This creates the resonance  
and enhances the acoustic realism of the sound that is  
characteristic of acoustic instruments by creating a  
virtual soundboard.  
[5 ▲▼]/ SPATIAL  
[6 ▲▼] EFFECT  
For deeper depth settings: The sound of the instru-  
ment itself and the sound of singing and other instru-  
ments played nearby is picked up by internal  
microphones, and processed to simulate the spatial  
characteristics of performing together on stage.

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.

• 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.  
You can also use the pedals to add articulations to the SA and SA2 Voices (page 43).  
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.

Adding Articulation Effects to Super Articulation Voices  
CVP-509 CVP-505 CVP-503 CVP-501  
NOTE  
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.

Pedal functions are automatically  
changed depending on the selected  
Voice. However, if you need to, you  
can lock the pedal function so that it  
does not change automatically.  
[FUNCTION] [D] CONTROLLER  
[H] DEPEND ON R1 VOICE.  
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.

Styles  
– Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment –  
The instrument features a variety of accompaniment and  
rhythmic backing patterns (called “Styles”) in a variety of  
different musical genres including pop, jazz, and many  
others. The Style features Auto Accompaniment, letting  
you produce automatic accompaniment playback simply  
by playing “chords” with your left hand. This lets you  
automatically recreate the sound of a full band or  
orchestra—even if you’re playing by yourself.

Playing Only the Rhythm Channels of a Style  
Rhythm is one of the most important parts of a Style. Try to play the melody along  
with just the rhythm. You can sound different rhythms for each Style. Keep in mind,  
however, that not all Styles contain rhythm channels.  
NOTE

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.

• AI Full Keyboard

produces appropriate accompaniment. You don’t have to worry about specifying the chords. (Depending  
on the song arrangement, AI Full Keyboard may not always produce appropriate accompaniment.)  
For other types, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.

[START/STOP] button or [SYNC START] button. When the  
Intro finishes playing, the Style playback automatically shifts to

The instrument features three different Ending sections to add an  
ending before stopping Style playback. When you press one of  
the ENDING [I] – [III] buttons while Style is playing back, the

have the ending gradually slow down (ritardando) by pressing  
the same ENDING button once again, while the ending is

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.

Connecting a Microphone or Guitar  
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.  
10  
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.  
2. Disconnect the microphone from the [MIC./LINE IN] jack.

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.

Voltage Selector  
Before connecting the AC power cord, check the setting of the  
voltage selector which is provided in some areas. To set the selec-  
tor for 110V, 127V, 220V or 240V main voltages, use a “minus”  
screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage  
for your region appears next to the pointer on the panel. The volt-  
age selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially shipped. After  
the proper voltage has been selected, connect the AC power cord  
to the AC INLET and an AC wall outlet. A plug adaptor may be  
also provided in some areas to match the pin configuration of the  
AC wall outlets in your area.

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  
details on how to format a disk, see page 107. Keep in mind that all data on  
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.  
All keyboard parts are set to off. Use the PART ON/OFF [RIGHT 1]/  
[RIGHT 2]/[LEFT] button to turn it on.  
The volume of the individual parts may be set too low. Raise the vol-  
ume in the BALANCE display (page 58).  
Headphones are connected, disabling the speaker output. Unplug the  
headphones.  
If the speaker is set to OFF. Make sure the speaker setting is set to  
ON (page 110). For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the  
website.  
The sound is distorted or noisy.  
The volume may be turned up too high. Make sure all relevant volume  
settings are appropriate.  
This may be caused by certain effects or filter resonance settings.  
Check the effect or filter settings and change them accordingly,  
referring to the Reference Manual on the website.  
Not all simultaneously played notes sound.  
You are probably exceeding the maximum polyphony (page 125) of  
the instrument. When the maximum polyphony is exceeded, the earli-  
est played notes will stop sounding, letting the latest played notes  
sound.  
The keyboard volume is lower than the Song/Style playback vol-  
ume.  
The volume of the keyboard parts may be set too low. Raise the vol-  
ume in the BALANCE display (page 58).  
The Main display does not appear even when turning the power on. This may occur if a USB storage device has been installed to the  
instrument. Installation of some USB storage device may result a long  
interval between turning the power on and appearance of the Main  
display. To avoid this, turn the power on after disconnecting the  
device.  
Some characters of the file/folder name are garbled.  
The language settings have been changed. Set the appropriate lan-  
guage for the file/folder name (page 17).  
An existing file is not shown.  
The file extension (.MID, etc.) may have been changed or deleted.  
Manually rename the file, adding the appropriate extension, on a  
computer.  
Data files with names of more than 50 characters cannot be handled  
by the instrument. Rename the file, reducing the number of charac-  
ters to 50 or less.

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.  
Style  
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.  
Turn the [ACMP ON/OFF] button on and play left-hand section on the  
keyboard to sound the accompaniment part of the Style.  
Only the rhythm channel plays.  
Make sure the Auto Accompaniment function is turned on; press the  
[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.  
Song playback does not start.  
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.  
When playing back a Song, some channels do not play.  
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.

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.
