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.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to
prevent damage to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip
over them.
• When moving the instrument, be careful to avoid catching your
hands or feet on the instrument.
• Move the instrument slowly with extra care to keep the instrument
from falling over, or bumping against the surroundings. We
recommend that you consult a qualified carrier to transport or move
the instrument.
• 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.
• 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.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps or
opening on the main unit, fallboard, 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.
• Close the fallboard when the instrument is not in use. Hold the
fallboard with both hands when opening or closing it. Be careful to
avoid catching fingers (yours or others) between the fallboard and
the main unit.
• Do not go near the instrument during an earthquake. Strong shaking
during an earthquake could cause the instrument to move or tip
over, resulting in damage to the instrument or its parts, and possibly
causing 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.
When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

Features
• Silencing System enables you play in any situation, at any time you want
Yamaha’s innovative silencing system brings you superior performance, yet with virtually complete silence.
Enjoy your performance just as if you were playing an acoustic piano—but without the need to worry about
bothering people around you.
• Non-contact sensors for maximum expressiveness
The non-contact optical sensors faithfully detect subtle movement of the keys without affecting the touch of
the keys. They catch keystroke information precisely, enabling you to perform with rich nuance and
extraordinarily subtle expression.
• Elegant, integrated design
The control unit has been given a graceful design that unobtrusively blends with the piano itself. Moreover, the
simple controllers allow you to operate the instrument easily.
• Realistic ambience of the Voices enhances your performance
This instrument puts the sound of ten luxurious, authentic Voices at your fingertips. These include Yamaha’s
flagship CFX piano—which delivers dynamic sound, from a brilliant high-range to powerful bass—and the
Bösendorfer* Imperial, a world-class piano renowned for its subtle and warm sound. The instrument also
features advanced technologies such as Binaural Sampling. Listening with headphones to a piano Voice
enhanced through these methods gives the impression of being thoroughly immersed in the sound, as if it was
actually emanating from the piano.
Altogether, it delivers real sound faithful to that of an actual acoustic piano, such as the quick attack and the
graceful resonance of a sustained piano tone, as well as how the sound responds to your playing strength, and
the resonance effect when the damper pedal is pressed.
* Bösendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.
• Playback and recording functions for aid in learning and practice
You can record your performance to this instrument and a USB flash drive, and improve your performance by
listening back to the recording.
Smart Device App “Smart Pianist”
The smart device app “Smart Pianist” (available as a free download) enables you to use the functions such
as selecting Voices, controlling the metronome intuitively with the visualized interface, or display the score
on your smart device.
For information about this app, access the following web page:

This instrument features two advanced technologies that allow you to enjoy exceptionally realistic, natural
sound, even though listening on headphones. These functions can be turned on or off as desired (page 37).
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 would actually be heard. 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. When the CFX Grand Voice is selected, binaural sampled sound is produced.
Stereophonic Optimizer (Piano Voices other than CFX Grand)
Stereophonic Optimizer is an effect which reproduces the natural sound distance, like with the sound of
Binaural Sampling, even though you are listening to it on headphones. When one of the Piano Voices other
than CFX Grand is selected, the Stereophonic Optimizer is enabled.
