Connections
1AUX IN L/L+R and R Jacks
These jacks are intended for use with an external tone generator mod-
ule 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/
L+R and R jacks, allowing the sound of the tone generator to be repro-
duced via the Clavinova’s internal sound system and speakers. A line-level
mono source can be connected to the L/L+R jack.
• 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.
• The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either
directly or through external equipment.
3MIDI IN, THRU 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 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 28.
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 32 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.
