NOTICE
To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage to the product, damage to data, or damage to other property, follow the notices below.

Handling
Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise. When you use the instrument along with a smart device, such as an iPhone, iPad, etc., we recommend that you set that device's "Airplane Mode" to on and then the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth setting to on in order to avoid noise caused by communication.
Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration, damage to the internal components or unstable operation. (Verified operating temperature range: 5 degrees to 40 degrees C, or 41 degrees to 104 degrees F.)
Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
Bumping the surface of the instrument with metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can cause the finish to crack or peel. Use caution.

Maintenance
When cleaning the instrument, use a soft and dry/slightly damp cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, alcohol, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Gently remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth. Do not wipe too hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the instrument's finish.
During extreme changes in temperature or humidity, condensation may occur and water may collect on the surface of the instrument. If water is left, the wooden parts may absorb the water and be damaged. Make sure to wipe any water off immediately with a soft cloth.

Saving data
Some of the data of this instrument (page 34) and the Song data saved to the internal memory of this instrument (page 28) are retained when the power is turned off. However, the saved data may be lost due to some failure, an operation mistake, etc. Save the Song data onto USB flash drive/an external device such as a computer (pages 33, 38).

Hybrid Piano
AvantGrand
N1X

Combining over a century of experience in crafting world-class pianos with the latest in advanced technology, Yamaha proudly introduces an instrument that is closer than ever to an actual acoustic piano--equipped with every essential element pianists demand.

Authentic acoustic piano touch with special grand piano action and piano keyboard
An actual acoustic grand piano has an unmistakable rich expressive quality, thanks to its finely nuanced touch and exceptional response. The remarkable AvantGrand N1X is the culmination of our many decades of expertise in crafting grand pianos, and offers the discerning player a specially-developed grand piano action featuring a configuration identical to the action of a real grand. The keyboard also features real-wood keys, just as on a real grand piano, letting you enjoy an authentic touch and feel that goes far beyond any existing digital piano. In addition to a hammer sensor, this instrument employs a non-contact key sensor that has no effect on the movement of the keys, yet accurately recognizes the player's pressure on the keyboard, timing, and the other delicate nuances that affect musical expression.

Enjoy performing and practicing with the sound of famous grand pianos
This instrument puts the sound of several different renowned grand pianos at your fingertips, including the CFX, Yamaha's flagship concert grand piano--which delivers dynamic sound, from a brilliant high-range to powerful bass--and the Bosendorfer* Imperial, a flagship grand piano known for its subtle and warm sound.
* Bosendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.

Natural sound distance sensation for headphone play	Page 15
This instrument features a binaural sampling sound designed especially for use with headphones. Binaural sampling is a method which uses two microphones placed where the ears of a performer would be and records that piano sound. Listening to the sound created through this method with headphones gives the impression of being immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the piano.

Always in optimum condition, no need for tuning
Unlike acoustic pianos, this instrument does not need to be tuned. It always stays perfectly in tune even after long-time use.

Playback and Recording functions to support your lessons and practice	Page 26, 28, 40
You can record your performance to this instrument and a USB flash drive, and improve your performance by listening to the recording. Furthermore, this instrument has a Bluetooth* audio function, letting you play back audio data on this instrument by connecting with a Bluetooth-equipped device via Bluetooth.
* Depending on the country in which you purchased the product, the instrument may not have Bluetooth capability. For details, refer to page 50.


Smart Device App "Smart Pianist"
The smart device app "Smart Pianist" (available as a free download; Page 38) enables you to use the functions such as selecting Voices, controlling the metronome intuitively with the visualized interface, or display the score (depending on the selected data) on your smart device.
