Voltage Selector
Before connecting the AC power cord, check the setting of the 
voltage selector which is provided in some areas. To set the selec-
tor for 110V, 127V, 220V or 240V main voltages, use a “minus” 
screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage 
for your region appears next to the pointer on the panel. The volt-
age selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially shipped. After 
the proper voltage has been selected, connect the AC power cord 
to the AC INLET and an AC wall outlet. A plug adaptor may be 
also provided in some areas to match the pin configuration of the 
AC wall outlets in your area.

							Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks
CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual  119
3
Handling the Floppy Disk Drive 
(FDD) and Floppy Disks
(The floppy disk drive is optional. For instructions on installing the floppy disk drive, see page 127.)
The floppy disk drive lets you save original data you’ve created on the instrument to floppy disk, and allows you to 
load data from floppy disk to the instrument.
Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important precautions below.
3.5 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.
If you find that you are unable to use new, blank disks or old disks that 
have been used with other devices, you may need to format them. For 
details on how to format a disk, see page 107. Keep in mind that all data on 
the disk will be lost after formatting. Make sure to check beforehand 
whether or not the disk contains important data.
NOTEFloppy disks formatted on this device may or may not be useable as is on\
 other devices.
Inserting a Floppy Disk into the Disk Drive:
Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and the sliding 
shutter is facing forward, towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk 
into the slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it clicks into place and 
the eject button pops out.
CAUTIONNever insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other obje\
cts may cause 
damage to the disk drive or floppy disks.
Removing a Floppy Disk
After checking that the instrument is not accessing* the floppy disk 
(checking that the use lamp on the floppy disk drive is off), firmly press the 
eject button at the upper right of the disk slot all the way in. When the 
floppy disk is ejected, pull it out of the drive. If the floppy disk cannot be 
removed because it is stuck, do not try to force it, but instead try pressing 
the eject button again, or try re-inserting the disk and attempt to eject it 
again.
* Access of the disk indicates an active operation, such as recording, play-
back, or deletion of data.
If a floppy disk is inserted while the power is on, the disk is automatically 
accessed, since the instrument checks whether the disk has data.
CAUTIONDo not remove the floppy disk or turn off the instrument itself while \
the disk is being 
accessed. Doing so may result not only in loss of data on the disk but a\
lso damage 
to the floppy disk drive.
Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive before turning off the 
power. A floppy disk left in the drive for extended periods can easily pick 
up dust and dirt that can cause data-read and -write errors. • Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument employs a precision 
magnetic read/write head which, after an extended period of use, will 
pick up a layer of magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventu-
ally cause read and write errors.
• To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha recom- mends that you use a commercially-available dry-type head cleaning disk 
to clean the head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the 
av ailability of proper head cleaning disks.
Handle floppy disks with care, and follow these precau-
tions:
• Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply pressure to the disk 
in any way. Always keep floppy disks in their protective cases when they 
are not in use.
• Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high or low tempera- tures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids.
• Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed surface of the  floppy disk inside.
• Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as those produced by tele- visions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic fields can partially or 
completely erase data on the disk, rendering it unreadable.
• Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing.
• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a floppy disk.  Also make sure that labels are attached in the proper location.
To  Protect Your Data (Write-protect Tab):
To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk’s write-pro-
tect tab to the “protect” position (tab open). When saving data, make sure 
that the disk’s write-protect tab is set to the “overwrite” position (tab 
closed).
Data Back up
F or maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you keep two copies 
of important data on separate floppy disks.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Overall
A click or pop is heard when the power is turned on or off. Electrical current is being applied to the instrument. This is normal.
Noise is heard from the instrument’s speakers. Noise may be heard if a mobile phone is used near the instrument or 
if the phone is ringing. Turn off the mobile phone, or use it further 
aw ay from the instrument.
In the LCD display, there are some black points (unlit) or white 
points (always lit). (CVP-509/505) These are the result of defective pixels and occasion-
ally occur in TFT-LCDs; they do not indicate a problem in operation.
There is a slight difference in sound quality among different notes 
played on the keyboard. This is normal and is a result of the instrument’s sampling system.
Some Voices have a looping sound.
Some noise or vibrato is noticeable at higher pitches, depending 
upon the Voice.
The overall volume is too low, or, no sound is heard. The master volume may be set too low. Set it to an appropriate level 
with the [MASTER VOLUME] dial.
All keyboard parts are set to off. Use the PART ON/OFF [RIGHT 1]/
[RIGHT 2]/[LEFT] button to turn it on.
The volume of the individual parts may be set too low. Raise the vol-
ume in the BALANCE display (page 58).
Make sure the desired channel is set to ON (pages 57, 64).
Headphones are connected, disabling the speaker output. Unplug the 
headphones.
If the speaker is set to OFF. Make sure the speaker setting is set to 
ON (page 110). For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the 
website.
The sound is distorted or noisy. The volume may be turned up too high. Make sure all relevant volume 
settings are appropriate.
This may be caused by certain effects or filter resonance settings. 
Check the effect or filter settings and change them accordingly, 
referring to the Reference Manual on the website.
Not all simultaneously played notes sound. You are probably exceeding the maximum polyphony (page 125) of 
the instrument. When the maximum polyphony is exceeded, the earli-
est played notes will stop sounding, letting the latest played notes 
sound.
The keyboard volume is lower than the Song/Style playback vol-
ume. The volume of the keyboard parts may be set too low. Raise the vol-
ume in the BALANCE display (page 58).
The Main display does not appear even when turning the power on. This may occur if a USB storage device has been installed to the  instrument. Installation of some USB storage device may result a long 
interval between turning the power on and appearance of the Main 
display. To avoid this, turn the power on after disconnecting the 
device.
Some characters of the file/folder name are garbled. The language settings have been changed. Set the appropriate lan-
guage for the file/folder name (page 17).
An existing file is not shown. The file extension (.MID, etc.) may have been changed or deleted. 
Manually rename the file, adding the appropriate extension, on a 
computer.
Data files with names of more than 50 characters cannot be handled 
by  the instrument. Rename the file, reducing the number of charac-
ters to 50 or less.
