This message prompts you to conﬁrm the execution. Press the B [+ (YES)]

button to continue. Press the B [– (NO)] button to cancel.

There is a malfunction with the TO HOST connector.

When you are using the CLP-990 with a connected computer:

The power to the computer is turned off, the cables are connected incor-

rectly, the [HOST SELECT] switch is set incorrectly, or the driver or MIDI

application on the computer works incorrectly. Turn off the power to the

CLP-990 and the computer, then check the cable connections and the

[HOST SELECT] switch setting. Then, turn on the power to the computer

and the CLP-990 in this order and check to see if the driver and MIDI appli-

cation on the computer work properly.

When you are using only the CLP-990:

This message appears if a cable is connected to the TO HOST connector on

the CLP-990. In this case, turn off the power to the CLP-990, remove the

cable from the TO HOST connector, then turn on the power to the CLP-990.

If the cable is left connected to the TO HOST connector, the CLP-990 may

not work correctly.
