1AUX IN L and R Jacks (CLP-511: L/L+R and R)
These jacks are intended for use with an external tone generator
module such as the Yamaha DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit. The stereo
outputs from the external tone generator module are connected to the
AUX IN L and R jacks, allowing the sound of the tone generator to be
reproduced via the Clavinova’s internal sound system and speakers. A
line-level mono source can be connected to the L/L+R jack on the CLP-
511.
NOTE
•The input signal from the AUX IN jacks is delivered to the AUX OUT jacks,
but is not affected by the Clavinova’s volume control or reverb effect.
2AUX OUT L/L+R and R Jacks
The AUX OUT L/L+R and R jacks deliver the output of the Clavinova for
connection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA system, or record-
ing equipment. If you will be connecting the Clavinova to a monaural sound
system, use only the L/L+R jack. When a plug is inserted into the L/L+R jack
only, the left- and right-channel signals are combined and delivered via the L/
L+R jack so you don’t lose any of the Clavinova’s sound.
NOTE
•The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either
directly or through external equipment.
3MIDI IN, THRU (CLP-511) and OUT Connectors
The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI
device (such as the DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit) which can be used to
control the Clavinova. The MIDI THRU connector provided on the CLP-
511 re-transmits any data received at the MIDI IN connector, allowing
“chaining” of several MIDI instruments or other devices. The MIDI OUT
connector transmits MIDI data generated by the Clavinova (e.g. note and
velocity data produced by playing the Clavinova keyboard).
More details on MIDI are given in “MIDI FUNCTIONS” on page 26.
4TO HOST Connector & HOST SELECT Switch
This jack and selector switch allow direct connection to a personal
computer for sequencing and other music applications — without the need
for a separate MIDI interface. See page 30 for details.
●PHONES Jacks (Bottom Panel)
Two pairs of standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here
for private practice or late-night playing. The internal speaker system is
automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into either of
the PHONES jacks.
