CVP-309/307 Owner’s Manual

• 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.
• (CVP-309 including grand piano type) 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• (CVP-309 including grand piano type) Bumping the surface of the instrument
with metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can cause the finish to crack or peel.
Use caution.
• 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 operate the instrument 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 step-
ladder 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.
• (CVP-309 including grand piano type) 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.
