Although the Clavinova is a self-contained musical instrument that simply be

plugged into the AC mains outlet and played, it also features a number of connec-

tors for system expansion.

The Connectors

●

AUX IN L/L+R and R Jacks ....................................................................................................................

These jacks are intended primarily for use with external synthesizers or tone

generator modules.

For example, the outputs of the synthesizer/tone generator can be to the

Clavinova AUX IN jacks, allowing the sound of the synthesizer/tone generator to

be reproduced via the Clavinova’s internal amplifier and speaker system. For mon-

aural signal input (when the connected device is monaural), use only the L/L+R

jack.

AUX OUT L/L+R and R Jacks ................................................................................................................

The AUX OUT L/L+R and R jacks deliver the output of the Clavinova for con-

nection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA system, or recording equip-

ment. 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.

CAUTION

• The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either

directly or through external equipment.

MIDI IN and OUT Connectors ................................................................................................................

The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device

(such as a synthesizer, sequencer, music computer, etc.) which can be used to con-

trol the Clavinova. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by

the Clavinova (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the Clavinova key-

board).

More details on MIDI are given in “MIDI Functions” on page 30.

NOTES

• 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.
