Audio Input and Output

CAUTION
Never connect the Clavinova’s AUX
OUT jacks to its AUX IN jacks, either
directly or via external audio equip-
ment. Such connections could result
in a feedback loop that will make nor-
mal performance impossible, and may
even damage the Clavinova.
The volume of the audio signal input at
the AUX IN jacks is affected by the
[MASTER VOLUME] slider.
The sounds of other instruments or
tone generator modules can be output
through the speaker system of the
Clavinova by connecting audio cables to
the AUX IN jacks as shown here.
Use the AUX IN [L/L+R] jack for
monophonic input. For stereo input, con-
nect the left channel output to the AUX
IN [L/L+R] jack, and the right channel
output to the AUX IN [R] jack.
