1AUX 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 recording 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 com-
bined and delivered via the L/L+R jack so you don’t lose any of the Clavinova’s sound.
CAUTION
When the Clavinova’s AUX OUT jacks are connected to an external sound system, first turn
the Clavinova power on, and then the power to the external amplifier/speaker system. Reverse
this order when turning the power off.
The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either directly or
through external equipment.
The AUX OUT jack signal is not controlled by the Clavinovas volume control. Use the
volume control on the external audio equipment to adjust the level.
2AUX IN L/L+R and R Jacks
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/L+R 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.
CAUTION
When the Clavinova’s AUX IN jacks are connected to an external source, first turn the power
to the external device on, and then the power to the Clavinova. Reverse this order when
turning the power off.
The input signal from the AUX IN jacks is controlled by the Clavinovas volume control.
Reverb function will have no affect.
The input signal from the AUX IN jacks is delivered to the AUX OUT jacks.
3TO 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 15 for details.
4MIDI 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 13.
5PEDAL Jack
This terminal is for connecting the pedal cord from the pedal box (refer to the
“Keyboard Stand Assembly” on pages 26-27).
PHONES Jacks (Bottom Panel)
Two sets of standard 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.

• Before connecting the Clavinova to other electronic components, turn off the power for all compo-
nents. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all-volume levels to minimum.
