IMPORTANT
Check Your Power Supply
Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches
the voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom
panel. In some areas a voltage selector may be
provided on the 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.

    Why is the overall volume low, or why is no sound heard from my Yamaha Clavinova CVP-202?
    • J
      Jordan BoydJul 29, 2025
      The low overall volume or absence of sound from your Yamaha Clavinova may be due to several reasons. First, check if the [MASTER VOLUME] is set too low and increase it. Second, ensure that headphones are not connected, as they will mute the speakers. Finally, verify that the Local Control function is turned on.

    Why is the keyboard volume low compared to the auto accompaniment on my Yamaha Musical Instrument?
    • J
      Jerry MartinezAug 2, 2025
      If the keyboard volume is too low compared to the auto accompaniment, it may be because the overall keyboard volume or the keyboard part's independent volume level is set too low. Try increasing the overall keyboard level or use the VOLUME function in the appropriate KEYBOARD display to raise the volume of the keyboard part.

      Christopher RodgersAug 6, 2025
      If the Auto Accompaniment or song playback volume is too low compared to the keyboard, it could be because the [ACMP/SONG VOLUME] is set too low. Increase the [ACMP/SONG VOLUME] level. Alternatively, the volume level of one or more accompaniment parts or song tracks may be set too low. In this case, raise the part or track levels in the appropriate MIXER display.

    • J
      Jeremy RamirezAug 11, 2025
      If you cannot record the maximum of 60 songs, the memory capacity is likely full because the playing time of existing songs is too long, or many functions were used. Delete unnecessary songs or record to a new disk.
