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:
• 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.
• 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 place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.
• When transporting or moving the instrument, always use two or more people.

other injury, or cause damage to the instrument itself.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent damage to
the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.
• 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.

• Though the wooden parts of this instrument have been designed and produced
with care concerning the environment and human health, in some rare instances
customers may sense an unusual odor or develop imitation in the eyes, due to the
coating material and adhesive.
To avoid this, we recommend that you observe the following:
1. Specially ventilate the room for several days after unpacking and installing
this instrument, since it has been packed in airtight conditions in order to
maintain quality during transportation.
2. If the room housing the instrument is small, continue to ventilate it normally,
either daily or periodically.
3. If you have left the instrument in a closed room for a long time under high
temperature, ventilate the room, then lower the temperature if possible before
using the instrument.
• 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.
• 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 insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the fallboard or instrument. Also
take care that the fallboard does not pinch your finger.
• Do not apply excessive force when closing the fallboard.
A fallboard equipped with the SOFT-CLOSE™ mechanism closes the cover
slowly. Applying excessive force to the fallboard when closing it could damage
the SOFT-CLOSE™ mechanism, and possibly result in injury to your hands and
fingers caught under the closing the fallboard.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the
fallboard, panel or keyboard. This could cause physical injury to you or others,
damage to the instrument or other property, or operational failure.
• 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.
• 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.
• For benches that can be adjusted, do not 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 specified tool in order to prevent the possibility of accident
or injury.
• Keep special watch over any small children so that they don’t fall off the rear of the
bench. Since the bench does not have a backrest, unsupervised use may result in
accident or injury.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (power lamp is off), electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.
NOTICE
To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage to the product, damage to data, or damage to other property, follow the notices below.
Handling
• 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. When you use the instrument along with an application on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, we recommend that you set “Airplane
Mode” to “ON” on that device in order to avoid noise caused by communication.
• 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, damage to the internal components or unstable operation. (Verified operating temperature range: 5° –
40°C, or 41° – 104°F.)
• 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.
Maintenance
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft and dry/slightly damp cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, alcohol, cleaning fluids, or chemical-
impregnated wiping cloths.
• 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.
• 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.

Hybrid Piano
NU1X
Combining over a century of experience in crafting world-class pianos with the latest in advanced
technology, Yamaha proudly introduces an instrument that is closer than ever to an actual acoustic
piano—equipped with every essential element pianists demand.
Authentic acoustic piano touch with special upright piano action and piano keyboard
The AvantGrand NU1X features a specially designed mechanism in which the keyboard action and the hammer
workings realistically reproduce those of an acoustic piano.
Moreover, the wood construction of the keyboard is the same as on an upright piano, giving the instrument even a
more realistic acoustic piano-like touch response.
Enjoy performing and practicing with the sound of famous grand pianos
This instrument puts the sound of several different renowned grand pianos at your fingertips, including the CFX,
Yamaha’s flagship concert grand piano—which delivers dynamic sound, from a brilliant high-range to powerful
bass—and the Bosendorfer
*
Imperial, a flagship grand piano known for its subtle and warm sound.
* Bosendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.
Natural sound distance sensation for headphone play Page 15
This instrument features a binaural sampling sound designed especially for use with headphones. Binaural sampling
is a method which uses two microphones placed where the ears of a performer would be and records that piano
sound. Listening to the sound created through this method with headphones gives the impression of being immersed
in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the piano.
Always in optimum condition, no need for tuning
Unlike acoustic pianos, this instrument does not need to be tuned. It always stays perfectly in tune even after long-
time use.
Playback and Recording functions to support your lessons and practice
Page 26, 28, 39
You can record your performance to this instrument and a USB flash drive, and improve your performance by
listening to the recording. Furthermore, this instrument has a Bluetooth audio function, letting you play back audio
data on this instrument by connecting with a Bluetooth-equipped device via Bluetooth.

If you omit this operation and close the fallboard, the music rest will hit the keyboard and may result in damage.
2 With both hands, open the folded top of the fallboard, and close it gently.
The fall board is equipped with the special SOFT-CLOSE™ mechanism which closes the cover slowly.
CAUTION
• Hold the fallboard with both hands when opening or closing it. Do not release it until it is fully opened or closed. Be care-
ful to avoid catching fingers (yours or others, especially children’s) between the fallboard and the unit.
• Do not apply excessive force when closing the fallboard. Applying excessive force to the fallboard when closing it could
damage the SOFT-CLOSE™ mechanism, and possibly result in injury to your hands and fingers caught under the clos-
ing fallboard.
• Do not place anything (such as metal objects or pieces of paper) on top of the fallboard. Small objects placed on the fall-
board may fall inside the unit when the fallboard is opened and may be nearly impossible to remove. Once inside, they
could cause electric shock, short circuit, fire or other serious damage to the instrument.

Since this instrument is equipped with two
[PHONES] jacks, you can connect two sets of
standard stereo headphones. If you are using only
one set of headphones, insert a plug into either
jack; this automatically shuts off the speakers.
CAUTION
Avoid listening to the instrument at a high volume level
through headphones for a long period of time, to prevent
hearing damage.
NOTICE
Do not hang anything other than the headphones on the
hanger. Otherwise, the instrument or the hanger may be dam-
aged.
Reproducing the Natural Sound Distance Sensation (when using Headphones)—Binaural Sampling
and Stereophonic Optimizer
This instrument features two advanced technologies that allow you to enjoy exceptionally realistic, natural sound,
even though listening on headphones.
Binaural Sampling (“CFX Grand” Voice only)
Binaural sampling is a method that uses two special microphones set at the ear position of a performer and records
the sound from a piano as it is. Listening to the sound with this effect through headphones gives the impression of
being immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the piano. Moreover, you can enjoy the sound
naturally for a long time without ear strain. When the default Voice, “CFX Grand” (page 17) is selected, connect-
ing the headphones automatically enables the binaural sampling sound.
Stereophonic Optimizer (Piano Voices other than “CFX Grand”)
The Stereophonic Optimizer is an effect which reproduces natural sound distance like the sound of binaural sam-
pling even though you hear it on headphones. When one of the Piano Voices other than “CFX Grand” (Display
numbers 2–5; page 17) is selected, connecting headphones enable the Stereophonic Optimizer.
Turning the Binaural Sampling and Stereophonic Optimizer function on/off
When headphones are connected, the sound from this instrument changed to the sound of Binaural Sampling or the
sound enhanced with the Stereophonic Optimizer. Since these sounds are optimized for listening with headphones,
we recommend that you set this function to “OFF” (as described below).
While holding down [PIANO/VOICE], press the C6 key repeatedly (if necessary) to turn this function on/off. The
specified value is shown on the display while both controls are held.
Default setting: On
Using Headphones
You should turn these functions off when:
• Playing the sound of this instrument with an external powered speaker system or a mixer, while monitoring the sound
output from this instrument on connected headphones.
• Making an audio recording (page 28) and then playing that recorded audio Song through speakers.
(Make sure to turn off these functions before audio recording.)
NOTE
Before connecting an external powered speaker system, be sure to read “Using an External Stereo System for Playback—AUX OUT [L/L+R] [R] jacks” (page 36).

The instrument has three pedals that produce a range of
expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on
an acoustic piano.
Damper Pedal (Right)
Pressing this pedal will sustain notes longer. Releasing this pedal immediately stops
(damps) any sustained notes. The damper pedal features a half-pedal function.
Half-pedal function
This function allows the sustain length to vary depending on how far the pedal is
pressed. The farther you press the pedal, the more the sound sustains. For example, if
you press the damper pedal and all notes you are playing sound a bit murky and loud
with too much sustain, you can release the pedal half way to subdue the sustain (murk-
iness).
To set the Half Pedal Point:
While holding down [PIANO/VOICE], press one of the A#4–E5 keys. This operation
sets the degree to which pressing the damper pedal applies the half-pedal effect. The
smaller the value, the shallower the half-pedal point. The larger the value, the deeper
the half-pedal point.
Sostenuto Pedal (Center)
Pressing this pedal while holding the notes will sustain the pressed notes (as if the
damper pedal had been pressed), but all subsequently played notes will not be sus-
tained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while the other notes are
played “staccato.”
Soft Pedal (Left)
Pressing this pedal will reduce the volume and slightly change the timbre of the notes.
The notes played before this pedal is pressed are not affected.
Using the Pedals
If you press and hold the damper pedal here,
all the notes shown will be sustained.
Setting range: -2 (A#4) – 4 (E5)
Default Setting: 0
GP Responsive Damper Pedal
This special pedal has been designed to provide enhanced tactile response and, when
pressed, is much closer in feel to the pedal of an actual grand piano. It makes it easier
to physically experience the half-pedal point and more easily apply the half-pedal
effect than other pedals.
E5
A#4
NOTE
While the sostenuto pedal is held, the
Organ (Display numbers 12–14; page 17)
or Piano + Strings (Display number 15)
Voices sound continuously without decay
after the notes have been released.
If you press and hold the sostenuto pedal here, only
the notes held at this timing will be sustained.
