Playing the Clavinova as a Piano
Connect a pair of headphones to the [PHONES] jacks. Since this instrument is equipped with two
[PHONES] jacks, you can connect two pairs of headphones. If you are using only one pair, insert the plug
into either of these jacks.
CAUTION
Do not use the headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent
hearing loss.
Reproducing the natural sensation of sound distance — Binaural Sampling and
Stereophonic Optimizer
This instrument features two advanced technologies that allow you to enjoy exceptionally realistic, natural
sound, even when listening on headphones. The default setting for this function is on, but you can turn it
off by using the Smart Pianist smart device app.
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 24) is selected, connecting the headphones automatically enables the binaural sampling sound.
Stereophonic Optimizer (Voices in the Piano group other than “CFX Grand”)
The Stereophonic Optimizer feature recreates for headphones the spacious sensation you hear when you
play an acoustic piano, even though you hear it on headphones. When this function is turned on, you can
sense a natural sound distance as if the sound is coming from the piano.
Using headphones
When headphones are connected, the Voices in the Piano group automatically change to the sound of Binaural
Sampling or the sound enhanced with the Stereophonic Optimizer, by the default settings. Since these sounds are
optimized for listening with headphones, we recommend that you set this function to “OFF” in the following
situations.
• Playing the piano sound of this instrument with an external powered speaker system, while monitoring the
sound output from this instrument on connected headphones.
• Making an audio recording and then playing that recorded audio Song through speakers of this instrument.
(Make sure to turn off these functions before audio recording.)
You can set this setting On or Off via the Smart Pianist smart device app.
