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 bottom 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.

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.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may
have accumulated on it.
• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
• 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.

• 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.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

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
• 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 you notice any abnormality
• 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.
• 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 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.

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multipleconnector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause
overheating in the outlet.

• 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 place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.

Assembly
• 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.

• 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.
• 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
• 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. 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.

Maintenance
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Handling caution

Using the bench (If included)
• 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.
• 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.

Saving data
Saving and backing up your data
• Edited Songs/Styles/Voices and MIDI settings are lost when you turn off the
power to the instrument. Save the data to the USER tab display (page 68), USB
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.

• 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.
• 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.

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 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 provide more Voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility 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 openended 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 provide 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 harmonies to a lead vocal line sung by the user.

Right Pedal
Center Pedal
Left Pedal

Perform the piano songs by Clavinova

• Right Pedal (Damper Pedal)
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.

NOTE

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.

When you press the right pedal here, the notes you play
before you release the pedal have a longer sustain.

Certain Voices, such as [STRINGS] or
[BRASS], sustain continuously when
the right/center pedal is pressed.

• Center Pedal (Sostenuto Pedal)
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.
When a Voice other than piano is selected, a specific function appropriate for the
Voice is automatically assigned to the center pedal.

Certain Voices such as drum kits may
not be affected by use of the right/
center pedal.

NOTE

When you press the center pedal here while holding
the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as you hold
the pedal.

• Left Pedal
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.

Making Settings for the Pedals
You can assign one of the various functions to the three pedals or an optional

EFFECT

SPATIAL
EFFECT

This simulates the sustain sound that occurs when you
press the damper pedal of a grand piano. The microphone is not used, but the sound produced within the
instrument is processed to create a spacious sensation.
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.
For deeper depth settings: The sound of the instrument itself and the sound of singing and other instruments played nearby is picked up by internal
microphones, and processed to simulate the spatial
characteristics of performing together on stage.

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.
CAUTION

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

1
Perform the piano songs by Clavinova

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.

■ 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
iAFC function (page 34).
• 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 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
Voices – Playing the keyboard –

MegaVoices (CVP-509/505/503)
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.

CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual

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.

NOTE

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.

• SA2 Voices (S. Articulation2!) (CVP-509)
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.

NOTE

The characteristics of SA2 Voices
(default vibrato setting and articulation 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
Voices – Playing the keyboard –

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.

NOTE

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.

■ 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.
■ 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.

SA2 Voices are available only on the

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

Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment –

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.

Press one of the STYLE category selection buttons to call up
the Style Selection display.

Press one of the [A] – [J] buttons to select the desired Style.
Pressing one of the [1▲] – [4▲] buttons or pressing the same STYLE button
again can call up the other display page.

Confirm that the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is off.

CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual

NOTE

The rhythm does not sound for some
Styles. When you want to use any of
these Styles, always make sure that
[ACMP ON/OFF] is turned on.

Press the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button to play back
the rhythm channels.

Try playing the keyboard along with the rhythm.
To stop the rhythm, press the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button again.

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 colorful harmonies are instantly transformed into lifelike musical accompaniment.
• Session (S): These Styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing 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
Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment –

• Free Play (F) (CVP-509/505): These Styles are characterized by rubato
performance. You can perform freely with remarkably expressive accompaniment, 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 patterns.

Style file compatibility
The CVP-509/505/503/501 uses the SFF GE file format (page 9). The CVP509/505/503/501 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.

on the song arrangement, AI Full Keyboard may not always produce appropriate accompaniment.)
For other types, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.

Adjusting the Overall Volume Using the Master Compressor
CVP-509

CVP-505

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.

[USB TO DEVICE] terminal. (If necessary, use a USB hub.
The number of USB storage devices that can be used simultaneously 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.

■ 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).

NOTE
CAUTION

Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or mouse cannot be used.

■ 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.

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.

■ 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
CAUTION

Using USB Storage Devices

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.

• 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 eventually cause read and write errors.
• To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha recommends 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.

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.
NOTE
Floppy disks formatted on this device may or may not be useable as is on other devices.

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.
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
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.

About Floppy Disks
Handle floppy disks with care, and follow these precautions:
• 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 temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids.
• 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 televisions, 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.

To Protect Your Data (Write-protect Tab):
To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk’s write-protect 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, playback, 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
ON
(locked or write
protected)

CAUTION
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.

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.

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks

Formatting a Floppy Disk

Troubleshooting
Overall
A click or pop is heard when the power is turned on or off.

Electrical current is being applied to the instrument. This is normal.

Noise is heard from the instrument’s speakers.

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 occasionally 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 volume in the BALANCE display (page 58).
Make sure the desired channel is set to ON (pages 57, 64).
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.

Troubleshooting

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 earliest played notes will stop sounding, letting the latest played notes
sound.

The keyboard volume is lower than the Song/Style playback volume.

The volume of the keyboard parts may be set too low. Raise the volume 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 language 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 characters to 50 or less.

120

CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual

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 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 correctly.

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.

CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual

121

Troubleshooting

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).

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
(page 87).
If you are using a USB memory device to which data has already
been recorded, check first that no important data remains on the
device, then format it (page 107) and try recording again.

Audio files cannot be selected.

The file format may not be compatible with the instrument. The compatible 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
recorded (page 85).

Mixing Console
The sound seems strange or different than expected when changing 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.

Vocal Harmony is set to “ON.” Turn Vocal Harmony off (page 103).

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
(pages 15, 58).

Pedal/AUX Pedal
The damper, sostenuto and soft functions do not work for the relevant pedals.

The pedal cord plug is not connected. Securely insert the pedal cord
plug into the proper jack (page 113, 115, 117).
Make sure that each pedal is properly assigned to SUSTAIN, SOSTENUTO, and SOFT (page 32).

The on/off setting of the footswitch connected to the AUX PEDAL
jack is reversed.

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

AUX IN jacks

Troubleshooting

Sound input to the AUX IN jacks is interrupted.
