Internet Direct Connection (CLP-370/ 340, CLP-S308/S306)

This feature lets you directly connect your instrument to the Internet. A service in the special Yamaha website enables you to play back a range of songs (song data) in various musical genres as background music.

Here in this section, you may come across some unfamiliar terms and phrases related to computers and online communi- cations. To look up the meaning of these terms, refer to the “Glossary of Internet Terms” on page 57.

Setting up the Instrument for Internet Connection

ENGLISH

You can connect the instrument to a full-time online connection (ADSL, optical fiber, cable Internet, etc.) via a router or a modem equipped with a router. For the latest services and the specific instructions on connecting (as well as information on compatible devices etc.), refer to the Yamaha website:

http://music.yamaha.com/idc/

Use a computer to connect to the Internet and get online before connecting the instrument, since no modem or router settings can be made from the instrument itself.

To use the Internet connection, you will first need to subscribe to an Internet service or provider.

NOTE

Depending on the Internet con- nection, you may not be able to connect to two or more devices (for example, a computer and the instrument), depending on the contract with the provider. This means you cannot connect with the instrument. If in doubt, check your contract or contact your pro- vider.

NOTE

Connect the LAN cable to the [LAN] port.

NOTE

Some types of modems require an optional Ethernet hub network for simultaneously connecting to several devices (such as com- puter, musical instrument, etc.).

NOTE

Due to EU regulations, users within Europe should use an STP (shielded twisted pair) cable to prevent electromagnetic interfer- ence.
