CLP-990 95
Message List
Message Meaning
1. After you load an internally-protected song into the Clavinova’s Current
memory or storage memory, you tried to save the song to a floppy disk.
You cannot save such a song to another disk. You cannot write or copy to
such a disk.
2. This message also appears if you try to transmit bulk data (page 86) of
an internally-protected song (such as commercially available music
data). You cannot transmit bulk data of such songs.
This message prompts you to select whether you wish to save the edited set-
tings. Press the B [+ (YES)] button to save the settings. Press the [EXIT] but-
ton to cancel.
You tried to perform another operation before saving the recorded song to
storage memory or a floppy disk. If you continue the operation, the
recorded song will be lost. To delete the new recording, press the B [– (NO)]
button. To keep the recording, press the B [+ (YES)] button. The Clavinova
displays the “SaveToMemory” (page 52) or “SaveToDisk” (page 53) parame-
ter screen. If necessary, select “SaveToMemory” or “SaveToDisk” accordingly
and save the recorded song, then proceed to another operation.
The Clavinova has found some defects in the selected (or playing) song.
Select the song and play it again. If you still see this message, the song data
may be damaged.
The Current memory space is full during recording. Recording stops auto-
matically. The data recorded up to that point remains. This message also
appears when you try to enter recording mode to make an additional
recording but the song data already fills the Current memory. In this case,
you cannot make an additional recording. Use the “ChannelClear” parame-
ter (page 75) to delete unnecessary tracks (if any) to make more room in
memory.
The size of the selected song is larger than the Current memory (page 97).
The CLP-990 cannot read the song. Select another song.
This message prompts you to start the operation. To start, press the B [+
(YES)] button. Press the [EXIT] button to cancel the operation.
