Maybe this model doesn't have a microphone socket? could someone confirm?
You can use the Line In jack, but you will probably need to use a mic preamp to raise the mic output sufficiently. You can try using an inexpensive mic from an amateur karaoke system or Guitar Hero etc. If that mic has no 1/8 inch mini phone plug, you can look for an adaptor, or have a tech type person set the mic cable up for you. If you want better quality, borrow or buy a professional vocal mic which uses an XLR cable and adapt the cable to plug into the 1/8 inch Line In jack on the keyboard. As I said, if the mic level is not loud enough, you can use a mic preamp, such as the ART Tube Mic Pre, which you can find used, or on a clear-out for maybe $25 to $35. Use a cable with a 1/4 inch connector on one end and a 1/8 inch connector on the other, to connect the mic pre output to the keyboard Line in. Plug the mic into the XLR input of the mic preamp. This will work 100%. Just adjust the mic preamp level controls carefully.

Hello. Most likely you will need to either clean the drive or replace it.
SOURCE: The disk drive on my Yamaha Clavinova CVP-105 acts
Often these drives are continuosly selected by the controller and rotate even without a disk.
These USUALLY use the old 720K disks which are almost impossible to find. The common 3.5 1.44Mb floppies often will not work in these units.
You can SOMETIMES use the 1.44Mb disks by covering the second corner hole AND degaussing the disk with a tape eraser and then reformating the disk in the Clavinova.
The pre-formatted 1.44Mb disks without degaussing SOMETIMES leaves artifacts between the tracks used by the 720K disks that causes problems.
SOURCE: Can I replace the pedal unit to the Yamaha Clavinova CVP-75?
I can't solve the problem, but just wanted to sympathize because I have the same problem. My pedal is broken on my Yamaha Clavinova cvp85a. It worked wonderfully for years but finally it broke.
I'd be in the market for buying a new pedal or fixing the old one. But I've not found any suggestions in any of these forums for either solution.
SOURCE: I have hiss on my clavinova cvp 301 what can i do
The source of the noise could be many things. At real high volume levels with no notes being played, some hiss is common due to the statistical properties in electronics. At a normal listening level the hiss should be inaudible. If there is a failure there is little you would be able to do yourself to repair it. One MIGHT use circuit cooler to isolate a bad component, but it is unlikely you would have the tools to replace it as most everything is surface mounted. If you have a treble control, turn that down to reduce the level as the hiss is always up in the higher registers.

Hi, did you manage to sort your problem as the same thing has happened to my clavinova (same model). Thanks.
