About the Harmony Types
When a normal Harmony type (“Standard Duet” through “Strum”) is selected
When “Multi Assign” is selected
Multi Assign automatically assigns notes played simultaneously on the right-hand section of the keyboard to 
separate parts (voices). For example, if you play two consecutive notes, the first is played by the Main voice and the 
second by the Layer voice.
When “Echo” is selected
An echo effect is applied to the note played on the keyboard, in time with the currently set tempo.
When “Tremolo” is selected
A tremolo effect is applied to the note played on the keyboard, in time with the currently set tempo.
When “Trill” is selected
Two notes held on the keyboard are played alternately, in time with the currently set tempo.
About the Harmony Assignments
Multi
This automatically assigns the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th added harmony notes to different parts (voices). For example, if the 
Main and Layer parts are turned on and the “Standard Duet” type is selected, the note you play on the keyboard will be 
played by the Main voice, and the added harmony note will be played by the Layer voice.
Main
Harmony is applied only to the Main part.
Layer
Harmony is applied only to the Layer part. When the Layer part is turned off, Harmony is not applied.
Split point
Chords played to the left of the 
split point control the harmony.
Harmony notes (based on the chord 
and the selected type) are automatically 
added to the melody played to the right 
of the split point.
Showing the Clavinova Display on a TV — Video Out
• Occasionally some flashing parallel 
lines may appear in the television or 
video monitor. This does not necessarily 
indicate that the monitor is malfunction-
ing. You may be able to remedy the situ-
ation by changing the Character Color 
or Background Color parameters. For 
optimum results, also try adjusting the 
color settings on the monitor itself.
• Avoid looking at the television or video 
monitor for prolonged periods of time 
since doing so could damage your eye-
sight. Take frequent breaks and focus 
your eyes on distant objects to avoid 
eyestrain.
• Keep in mind that even after adjusting 
all settings as recommended here, the 
monitor you are using may not show the 
Clavinova’s display contents as 
expected (e.g., the display contents may 
not fit on the screen, the characters may 
not be completely clear, or the colors 
may be incorrect).
