Yamaha Clavinova CLP-560 will not play

by Neil
(Australia)

I have a Yamaha Clavinova CLP560 approx 16 years old. It powers up OK but does not play. Default LEDs appear at power-up. Pressing buttons causes correct selection of functions (as indicated by LEDs); however if any key is depressed button selections no longer operate (stays frozen at last selection). All fuses are OK. Voltages to main board look OK (+5 and +12). No sign of power supply problems or visible damage to any parts. Any suggestions appreciated, including where to download free a service manual.

Service Manual for CLP 560
by: Alfred

Dear Neil: Being an avid Ebay shopper, by coincidence today I came across listed Item #350248068796 (Used set of Service Manuals for CLP560 & CLP570). You have to decide if you want to buy them +/- $20.00, plus shipping). The listing ends on 4/30/10. Wish I could be more helpful, but a quick sweep of the Internet shows no freebies. Just one thought, if your unit has contact (rubber) pads under the keys, they could be worn and need replacement. The problems you describe could be caused by such wear. Good luck.

Try headphones
by: Anonymous

Determine if it in the audio section or not. Try plugging in headphones. If it plays with head phones, it is a preamp or power amp problem. If not, it may be the DM board. DM boards are no longer available from Yamaha and are basically a single board computer - difficult to troubleshoot without a logic analyzer.
