    • C
      Cynthia CarterAug 21, 2025
      If you are experiencing a distorted or noisy sound with your Yamaha Clavinova musical instrument, ensure that the volume is not set too high. Additionally, try canceling any unnecessary effects, especially distortion-type effects. Also, some filter resonance settings in the Custom Voice Creator display can result in distorted sound, so adjust these settings if necessary.

      Luis BrowningAug 25, 2025
      If you're hearing noise from the speakers of your Yamaha Clavinova musical instrument, it might be due to interference from a mobile phone. To resolve this, turn off the mobile phone or move it further away from the Clavinova.

    Why is the volume low or no sound on my Yamaha Musical Instrument?
    • T
      Tracy HubbardAug 26, 2025
      If the overall volume of your Yamaha Clavinova musical instrument is low, or no sound is heard, ensure that the Master Volume is set to an appropriate level using the [MASTER VOLUME] dial. Also, the volume of the individual parts may be set too low, so raise the volume of MAIN, LAYER, LEFT, STYLE, and SONG in the BALANCE display. Make sure that headphones are not connected, as this disables the speaker output. Unplug the headphones to resolve this issue. Check that the speaker setting is set to ON, and that the Local Control function is also set to ON.

    • R
      Robert MoranSep 3, 2025
      If you are not hearing all simultaneously-played notes on your Yamaha Clavinova musical instrument, you may be exceeding the maximum polyphony of the Clavinova. When this happens, the earliest played notes will stop sounding, letting the latest played notes sound.

    • W
      William SmithSep 5, 2025
      If the accompaniment style or song playback does not start on your Yamaha Clavinova musical instrument, ensure that MIDI Clock is set to 'INTERNAL'.
