Connections
6 MIDI [IN], [OUT], [THRU] connectors
Use MIDI cables to connect external MIDI devices to these connectors.
Make sure you set the HOST SELECT switch (described on the privious page)
to MIDI when you use these connectors.
7 PEDAL jack
Connect the pedal cord from the pedal box. (Refer to “Keyboard Stand
Assembly” on pages 96-98.)
Connecting a personal computer
You can enjoy computer music data on the Clavinova by connecting a computer to the TO HOST (or MIDI)
jack.
You can also play music data that conforms to the “GM System Level 1” and “XG” standards from the com-
puter’s sequence software.
There are the three methods by which to connect the Clavinova to a personal computer:
1. Connecting the serial port on the computer to the Clavinova’s TO HOST jack (page 59)
2. Using a MIDI interface and the Clavinova’s MIDI connectors (page 61)
3. Using the USB port on the computer and the UX256, a USB interface (page 62)
For more information, refer to the following pages.
When connecting the Clavinova to a personal computer, first turn off the power to both the Clavinova and the computer
before connecting any cables and setting the HOST SELECT switch. After making connections and switch settings, turn
on the power to the computer first, then to the Clavinova.
If you do not use the TO HOST jack of the Clavinova, make sure you disconnect the cable from the jack. If the cable is left
connected, the Clavinova may not function properly.
When the HOST SELECT switch is set to “PC-1,” PC-2,” or “Mac,” you can use the TO HOST jack, but the MIDI connec-
tors are disabled since no data transfer occurs via the MIDI connectors. On the other hand, when the HOST SELECT
switch is set to “MIDI,” you can use the MIDI connectors, but not the TO HOST jack since no data is transferred via the TO
HOST jack.
“The Clavinova-Computer Connection” is a supplementary guidebook that describes, for beginners, what
you can do with your Clavinova and a personal computer and how to set up a Clavinova-Computer sys-
tem (the manual is not written for any specific models). The document is available as a PDF file (in
English) at the following Internet address:
