Thanks Dude, but forgot to mention that the one on elektrotanya is a dud. Only a couple pages there.

Well, shucks.

g1, send me an email, not a PM, and I can send it, it is a large file. 18 meg. The CVP201 is a CVP103 with a few differences. The CVP201 manual ONLY has the differences. It is assumed you will have the CVP103 manual in hand along with the CVP201 pages. That is why the manual for CVP201 appears to be missing a lot.


Or looking just now I see Elektrotanya has the CVP103 as well, so here:

I hate it when the split up the tech data like that. I spent $80 to buy an original service manual for a 62 olds only to find that everything that i was looking for was missing. it turns out that the 62 manual only contained what was different from the 61 manual. so then I had to buy the 61 manual too.

Thanks Enzo & The Dude (did anybody else get reminded of Chico & The Man when I said that ), got them both.

In modern digital files, it is no problem to include everything, but these files are old. Yamaha publishes excellent manuals. Very thorough and complete. Has schematics and parts lists, plus board layouts. Also has mechanical blow ups. When there is disassembly there will be step by step. How to replace a key? step by step. This results in big fat manuals. Schematics for something like a synth were large and readable, and unfolded like a road map. Like four feet square even.

These old files are scanned.

SO when Yamaha brings out a basic keyboard model and a big fat manual for it it takes the life of many trees. Then they bring out the same product but in a different cabinet. MAybe it has dressier wood instead of basic legs. That might allow better pedal assemblies, and space for better speaker enclosures. Those changes require some changes in the basic product, but most stays the same. They could offer up a whole new issuance of the same manual as before with a few new pages. Or they could assume you had the other book.

As a service center, I got a stack of manuals in the mail all the time, so if they sent me the CVP103 earlier, they didn't duplicate that just to send me the changes for the CVP201. If I did not have said manual, a call to them got it for me. I only had to learn this lesson once, so I always asked if the manual was complete or needed another companion issue. I have a bunch of them on my shelf asking me to refer to another model for complete coverage.

And how did I know I needed the CVP103 book? The CVP201 book said so right on the cover.

Doh! I missed that. When they say "RTFM" I guess that means the cover too.
